Re: have to give up garage spot to fiancee - ouch!- parking a 740i with or without a cover?!

["Gary Derian" <gderian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Park the daily driver in the garage and put the Porsche on the side
somewhere under cover.  If you try to cover the daily driver, you will end
up getting the cover very dirty and scratch the paint.  Get one of those
tent things for the Porsche and pour a concrete pad for it or better yet,
move to a house with a 3 car garage, or add a garage if possible.  That is
what I did.
