Unattended for two months? Leave it naked in the snow. Detail in the spring.
Wind, sand, snow load, you'll need a baby cam running all the time.

I'd do a good cover, unless you feel bold and drop a 20' sea can in the driveway .....

Many communities don't allow those garages. Could detail it then use the Porsche outdoor cover. Friends garage?

Kind of defeats the purpose of keeping stuff off it. If its really windy then its probably snowing

Even good covers get moved around in the wind. Can flap around and abrade the paint. And although they can be waterproof (although some really arent that waterproof) they can trap moisture under the cover especially when we get thaws (as we always seem to do) and thats not good

Have no idea if they are allowed in the beaches but not that concerned. Any friends with garages use them and wont park out side in favour of my car - bastards!

Container ? I see that as win win. Mumbles is brilliant
Store your car for the winter?
A place for the inlaws, in the off season.
You're in the beaches? BnB?
You'll pay for that really quickly

Drive it to LA. Fly from here. Pick it up in the spring and drive it home. You can even have a spot in my garage

Do you want me to put you in touch with the woman in the Triangle whose garage I used to rent?

One year I put just our 40s pickup and the next year I put that and my 911. I think I paid her $100 or $150 per month per car.
