Default Garage kept or open air?

I was just wondering with all the fine looking stangs I've seen here, which ones are kept in a garage or out in the driveway. I have a single car garage and I was thinking of making room for my 04 GT. Or maybe a car cover so I can have the space in the garage. Winter is almost here and I want to keep it looking good.

My wife's Escape is in the driveway... I get the garage baby! Let me tell you... listening to a V8 exhaust rumbling against cement walls in a small garage at 6:30 in the morning puts a smile on my face every day

Yea since I still live at home (17 years old) I get driveway duty because dads woodwork stuff takes up half the two car garage and moms got dibs on the open space, oh well, what can you do.

Two car garage here, so stang always gets a spot. The other spot is generally taken with bikes and what not (though I have a shed). If the weather is going to be really bad, I pull my wifes suburban in the other side. But it barely fits. I have to fold in the mirrors.

I have the next best thing which is a car port for 2, the Gt and Hemi. Car cover is a pain the is @ss to get on and off not to mention what your neighbors would think "how long do you think he will last putting on and off the cover, I give it 3 weeks" . Car cover is good for extented periods or to keep dust off it inside the garage. If you want to wax your stang 2 or 4 times a year depending how much sun you get and wash your car at least once a week then keep it outside. If you dont want to do that much work keep it inside away from rain,salt and sun. Theres nothing like factory paint as its applied with no trim so I would do everthing possible to make it last.

Well I get to park my baby beside my house. I really hate it because I have always wanted a garage but I don't own my place since I live with my parents. But when I do get my own place I will have a garage to keep my baby in.
