florida drivers:
ok so i live in naples, Fl. now and my 944 is in indianapolis. i want to bring it down but am afraid of.... A) salt air messing stuff up.. B) the sun wrecking my paint. the car is an 86 na and has been garaged all its life but im sick of leaving it to rot and want to drive it! how bad is the sun and salt to a car in south florida? i cant garage the car because i live in a condo, and only plan to stay about a year, will a year in south florida sun f@#$ my paint?

If you have to park outside at least keep a dash shield on it with the windows cracked. I realize that So. Florida is hard on cars, my dad lives there, and always puts up a shade if he parks outside. It's the climate there that kills me. It always smells like a Continental Trailways bus and canned air wherever you go. A full car cover would pay for itself quickly.

The salt air isn't that bad, but the sun sucks! Tint your windows and put up a sunshield. Not much you can do about the paint other than take care of it with a good wax. I'm not a big fan of outdoor car covers, because I've seen too many cars get the paint ruined by them (sand, wind, and car covers don't mix well)
