I'm curious, where do people keep their MB overnight?
I have the option of an unheated garage with a little effort - a little drafty so hopefully not too humid. I say a little effort as it would mean tidying it a little and slight inconvenience of not always being able to access all the shelves in the garage with the car in place as it would be a bit of a tight squeeze, but I could live with that. The biggest problem would be not being able to get the lawn-mower to the front garden without moving the car during the mowing season. I'd also have to open and shut the garage twice a day - but hardly a big effort.
I live in a relatively safe area on a quiet semi-rural road, so crime risk should be low if I just leave it on the drive.
The car has a 30 year perforation warranty as best I recall, so is it even worth trying to garage it? What is the downside of leaving it in the open? (Aside one nutty small bird who took a dislike to his own reflection in the wing mirror of my old car for a few weeks last year.)
Do people leave the car to the elements or garage it overnight given the choice?
Thanks,
Jeddy
