So for the first time, I won't be able to keep my MR2 in the garage this winter, just not enough space with the GTO taking up most of the room.
I have two options,
A) Store it in our "RV parking" beside the garage, which is currently our dog pen, as we don't have a RV. Benefits to this is that it's right in my backyard, and it's somewhat covered (though does get full of snow when it blows at an angle). Negatives is that it's not protected from wind, so a car cover would shift a lot and possibly scratch clearcoat.
or
B) Keep it at my parents house on Van.Island, where it's not going to get to -30 (they're "unlucky" if it gets to -2*, lol), and is sheltered from the wind, BUT would be parked on grass, with no overhead shelter at all. If it were there though, I could take it for drives when I visit them in the middle of winter, so that's kind of a big +.
I'm really on the fence, so opinions?
edit: I fly free, so it's not like it will cost me anything except gas/ferry getting there now, and gas/ferry getting back in late spring.
