Default Photo Thread - Where does your 993 sleep at night?

I couldn't find anything like this in my searches and I thought it would be interesting.

I'm sure we've got quite a range in this group, from massive beautiful garages to the need to park on the street each night. What does it share its home with? Is it covered each night? Is it on a battery tender? Is it dusty? Are the windows down? Really, what does it look like before you get it ready for a picture on Rennlist? POST A PHOTO to show us! I'll be posting a picture of mine here shortly.

I've always been curious about this and I hope you're all willing to share a photo. If this is a duplicate thread, my apologies.

In my recently added 3rd garage bay. It shares time on or under the lift with my Benz and BMW 2002.

Windows and top usually down, covered sometimes. Always dusty to me.

Looks like Opo's cars rest well at night. Are the ones kept in the garage the ones you drive more often?

What difference does leaving windows up or down make?

And that looks more like a hanger than a garage Opo!

Garaged with windows down. Still combating odor from the previous owner's idiot use of moth ***** with off season storage.

Garaged with windows up and battery tender. No cover, I like to see it every time I go in the garage.

For me it's a matter of keeping dust out! Makes interior detailing so much easier!

Here is my tandem, intercity garage! The 4S shares the garage with a BMW 328i Touring xDrive wagon.

Inside in Winter under cover with charger and outside during driving season as my primary home does not have a garage. A good car cover and fairly regular wash in season is all it needs.

It's not a hanger, it's the warehouse where the rest of my cars sleep at night

Half the time in a two car garage with my wife's BMW, half the time in the vending warehouse shoehorned between cases of snack and soda, vending machines, and one of the delivery trucks. (If it's there when we get an earthquake or magnitude.........well, let's just say that it would be easy to consider a cab conversion in the aftermath.)

Here's mine not long after I got it. It gets the end spot to keep it out of the day to day action. Currently sharing the garage with our X3 and TL. Hoping to swap the TL out for a Golf TDI soon to commute with. Oh and excuse the mess, its a work in progress.
