RE:garage spot to fiancee

["Rodney Moore" <m6bigdog@xxxxxxxx>]

Stephen,
Time to invest in another garage stall.  A car port at a minimum.
The new standard for a single family home is a three car garage.
That provides enough room for the garage queens and it will keep the piece!!
There is no substitute for shelter from the elements.
When I added on an oversized single car garage, I insulated the walls,
ceiling and installed a vapor barrier under the concrete.
Best investment for the comfort, maintaining the appearance and value of
your car.

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

Well, the fiancee moved into my home 3 weeks ago, and has asked me to make
good on my offer to give her half the garage.  I currently park my 88 911
Carrera (mint) in the one spot, and the other spot has the 95 740i (mint!).
 She has a 1995 540i (nearly mint -60k miles)  So, I have to park the 740i
in the - gulp - driveway now - arghhhhhhh.  I live with the woods in my
backyard and while they don't hang over the car, the leaves trickle down
and lay on the car while it's parked.  I'm bumming.  No more snow free
winters, no more protection from the weather, no more protection from the
crows that abound in my neighborhood (crowcrap!).  Should I get a car cover
for this car, or just leave it out there????  It seems like a royal pain to
cover it every time I get home, and if I need to go back out, to uncover it
and then cover it all over again.  Yuck...   Or, do I just wash it once a
week and not worry about it - it IS just a car, right?  Or, do I park the
Porsche in the - gulp - elements, with a car cover on it... wait a minute,
the porsche - in the elements? I can't do that.  Right?

Confused again in Silver Spring Md
