Yeah garage at home, but sometimes I leave it out on the driveway too. Rarely indoors at client offices. Hey why worry about the great outdoors?...you still have to drive them on "outdoor" roads, right?

Garage at home and at office, though sometimes (if husband has parked in garage -- only room for one car) I park in driveway at home -- but it has an awning over part of it.

Mostly I was curious as to whether the little beasts can get some protection overnight at home,--particularly during the winter months. I found when living in New England several years ago that the people who need a garage the most have maybe a single car garage!

You mean he's a sloppy parker, hogging up the whole garage when he parks? I don't blame you for not trying to squeeze your baby in there where he can ding it when he opens his door. Doesn't he understand what it means to be a car enthusiast? LOL j/k

Mine is covered during the week with a Dustop car cover....inside the garage. We have a parking garage at work so even my daily driver gets garaged during the day and during the night.

I'm sorry to say that there is too much crap occupying the other side of the garage (bowflex that is never used, bikes, multiple sets of golf clubs, etc).

I park under what was termed at the time it was added in 1924 as an "Auto Shelter" which is in front of the too small one car garage.

Primary house, p-car in garage. Beach house, p-car parked on driveway outside garage (too many beach chairs, bikes, etc. I don't drive p-car to the office, I get driven (car pool). If I have to leave for the beach house from work (saves an hour of driving), I park p-car in a covered self-park garage with wide spaces.

One response isn't clear: Garage/covered parking at office. I answered as if it was have a garage at home and covered at the office. Perhaps this is just at the office??
