Hey guys, this is my first stang, got it over the summer and I can't drive it in the winter (we all know why). I bought a 94 saturn to drive in the winter and I don't have a garage for the stang :-( I don't know what to do, never had to store my car before, should I find a place to store it, get a portable garage or just put a car cover over it and leave it in my back yard? Winter's coming fast and I need some input, any is appreciated. Oh yeah it's a Convertible. How much does it cost to have it stored somewhere on average? Thanks!

 

Just curious. Why can't you drive your car in the winter? Your post didn't say where you lived.

If you live where there is snow, then I can understand. I don't think the convertible top can handle the weight of snow.

 

I live in the Northeast so it will snow this winter pretty much.

 

My mom had a limited edition sebring convertible before, and it was fine in the snow. I can't imagine the snow is a good thing on the soft-top, but it could probably handle it.

I drove my mustang in the snow with no problems last year, and will this year... so you don't HAVE to store her.

 

should I at least get a car cover for her?

 

get a garage, that's what I did, Dec-Apr. I really didn't have room in our garage, so I rented one, a very secure one, for mucho dinero, but it is worth it (heated too) don't let your car be exposed to the harsh elements like that, problems down the road.

 

how much does it cost to store a car at a garage or something like that?

 

I agree with saleen-- I would store it for winter only because of what salt on the roads would do to the underbody. Being from Wisconsin I know exactly what winters do to cars. My F150 that I drive in winter is a rust bucket but it runs and it's 4-wheel drive. In Wisconsin you can store your car at a storage garage for about $50 a month. It's covered of coarse but it isn't heated. I don't know what the prices in your state would be but thats what I would do if I didn't have a garage

Check around for a storage place that rents garages deep enough to put the pony in it. (like the ones where you store furniture). Usually about thirty to fifty bucks a month. Cheap enough for about three to four months. Then you can get it out anytime the weather is good.

 

Yeah, I say look for a place to rent. Shouldn't cost to much to find a nice place that will fit a hours.
