Do You Keep Your Car In A Garage?

[corkscrew]

Do you keep your car in a garage? How about when you are away?

[nidge]

I leave mine on my driveway. It's covered but not enclosed. When i am away i put a nylon cover over it to attempt to keep it clean.

Covered parking at the condo. Giant condom when away.

Crossy,

We do the same. We have covers for the cars when we are away and we have a friend start the engines once a week if we are gone for more that a month.

All the best,

Alf

We have covered parking at our condo, on the ground floor "void deck" (as Singaporeans call it). However, we cover the cars every night because pigeons like to sleep on the overhead water drain pipes, and walking out in the morning to a crap covered car is a thrice weekly event at minimum. We got the thicker rain-proof covers as opposed to the thin nylon "dust covers", and throw them in the public coin-op washing machine once in a while to clean them up.

Yup, garaged.

Why?

[Jareddiving]

Yes i do keep them in the garage.

Do i have to post a photo now as well?

Because i'm sure nobody has ever seen cars parked inside of a garage..

[torrenova]

Covered off road parking on the driveway. Get some gecko shit on the roof sometimes but just send it to the cleaners once or twice a week.

Hi Moonfruit

I'm glad its not just me then, that was thinking the same as you

Its a shame the engines have to be started every week to keep em working though, bet he would'nt need to do that if they were Jap motors

Hey Moonfriut we could have another pole to try to guess what make of car he owns, although he might want to keep that a secret

Only joking Corky

My old Nissan pickup stays in the garage. The car stays outside but it is under roof. My wife normally keeps a cover on HER car.

[initiala4]

Covered but not underground like that.

[sweetchariot]

Oh Dear........

Never seen such a sad attempt to brag about 'my 2 mercs'.

get a life you sad loser.

wife is applying the finishing touches on my garage

[Naam]

i bought my wife this elongated limousine. now she wants a garage. unfortunately i have no money left for additional expenses

[cm-happy]

Wish I had a fully enclosed garage! Just have a covered car park area next to the house.

I'm a bit of a cheap skate as I keep the McLaren F1 and Murcielago in the same climate controlled hanger as the old Learjet.

Sunseeker has it's own desalinated dock when not in use. Have you heard what salt water can do to fibreglass?

[asiaworld]

Hang around this forum long enough and you will see that corky gets a ribbing regularly.

He deserves it for being such a flash sod!

i hope you did not forget to hire three chaps who work in shifts and monitor the relative humidity? computerised gadgets are not reliable!

Why is that, by the way? I mean, a couple thousand baht for some bricks & mortar and you do have it enclosed, but, why? Snow storms aren't that common in these parts?

Actually, it is the batteries that need the 'start up' as there are so many drains on it when the car is sleeping.

You are right. I plead guilty. Hey, but you guys like cars too. Right?

20 baht switch to disconnect the battery when going away?

I agree chanchao- or a cheap spanner to undo the negative terminal on the battery while away. Starting the engine to charge the battery and replace the amount of electricity used by the clock and the stereo memories would be pointless unless the engine is run for a considerable amount of time afterward to replace the substantially larger amount of juice used by the starter to crank the engine over.

I have found that running the engine once a week for 10 minutes will keep the batteries fully charged.

[corkscrew]

With older cars that don't have deliberate battery drain fields disconnecting the negative pole on the battery will be enough...even over a relatively long period of time. But, the new cars...with their tool's thirst for juice...a weekly start or a battery trickle charge is necessary for even a month long garage stay.
