Both the wife's and mine live outdoors for now, until I dispose of a dead-ish motorcycle and accesories that live in our garage.. then her cabrio gets to live indoors while my hardtop will suffer the indignity of being outside

Our cars live outside. Maybe one day the landlord will get the rest of his stuff out and I will rearange our junk and let the babys sleep in doors.

The only car under cover at our house is my husbands' 48 Merc, and it's under a lean-to type of thing.
Our garage is our office/warehouse.

Mine sleeps in the garage at night but sits out all day at work. The MINI does have a new friend in the garage though that's pretty cool.

That photo wasn't from this year already, was it lot15? We got some of the white stuff already, but not that much!!

Mine is an outdoor beastie as well, although I'm considering one of those 'temporary' (something like this - http://www.sheltersofamerica.com/) garage units until I can build something proper.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Dingo sleeps nicely in the garage. Actually I can't move her out of the garage until saturday when my newly concreted driveway has cured for a week. It will be nice having a clean surface for washing etc.

Mine stays inside at night... I, however have to sleep outside... it was an easy choice really... me vs. the car... In the winter I wake up looking like Lot15's car... all covered with snow... I start kinda slow in the morning, but other than that...
