well Im parking mine in my drive way, $40 for a car cover and the rent is free. What kind of situation you in?

Looking for professional storage units w/ security *some have it* or just people with garages that are empty?

I know my building has an underground storage for cars. There are a ton of cars down there right now. PM me for more information.

Mark, remember when we met at christians storage bays on the way to race city? they are large heated bays that hold 2 cars, and they are $90 a month. The unheated bays are ~$70/month.
Good and secure too. If you want more info just give Christian a shout:thumbsup:

Be careful with the car cover. I did that to my last car and over the winter it acted like sandpaper and bastardized the paint when the wind blew it around even though it was strapped tight. It doesnt take much I guess.

If you get the right cover then it won't scratch
Also it doesnt matter for me as much I guess, my paintjob isn't worth much.

$70 for unheated for 2 cars is a freakin good deal!
$90 for heated is even better if u ask me

When I looked last year I was looking at $60 for single car unheated.

Check the classifieds for some garages. Lots of rental properties will rent the garage out seperately. The going rate seems to be $100/month for a 2 car garage. It will likely be detached and not heated though...but lots of room to work on a project car over the winter.

well they really arent meant for 2 cars....when christian has 2 cars in there they are pretty much bumper to bumper to wall lol! They are 1 car wide, but fairly lengthy. You could throw your car in there and whatever else you want to store.....hell you could even live in one if you wanted to:rofl:

Deetz, Christians e-mail is [email protected]'d whoop me if i gave out his # haha:devil:

If i can get a beater here soon im gonna grab one of those bays myself, i really dont want to drive my car through winter this year:(

And actually if someone is looking to share a storage unit I may be interested in it, give me more room on the driveway for my other cars, or I can park one of my projects in the back.
