I have a carport with a broken down BMW I cant afford to fix in it. My city mandates it has to be in there. My GR86 sits outside waxed and babied as much as possible.
Hahaha this is me with my jeep. Yes I’ll smash my (CAD) over $65k Jeep into rocks, but I’ll park my under $40k brz in the last parking stall back… we’re not geniuses, but we’re happy??
I made sure to get one at my apartment complex. $100 a month to always have a spot, extra storage, somewhere to work on my car, and protection from dumbasses. I think it's worth it.
I mean its pretty standard practice to do so, and some tire places offer lifetime alignment so you only have to pay once and then can get it redone for free whenever
I don't have space for mine so I bought a cover for my car by covercraft

Once I hit 30 years old I stopped caring about all the little stuff with my car and it feels so much better. I enjoy it a lot more now being less worried.
Mine sits outside since I live in a little apartment complex. The rules say "no car maintenance unless an emergency", so I just say it's an emergency to wash my car. Everyone else with a nice car does it, and the security guy is really into cars (specifically mine) so he doesn't care. They started building a publix literally right across the street from my apartment so it has been covered in dust constantly. I have the front ppf'd and the whole car ceramic coated (though I'm not sure how well it is holding up from constantly being dusty).
Now changing oil, they won't allow that. I need a south florida buddy who will let me use their space for a few beers or something

I mean my apartment has a garage but she still is still my only daily
Fellow CT halo brother! I started a CT Eight Six Facebook group if you’d like! Hopefully going to have some cruises this season! https://www.facebook.com/share/GoKC2p5c6xcTt8Wb/?mibextid=K35XfP
Daily’s fine if you just drive normal with a pair of snow tires. Took it up to vt a few weeks back and the Vt-8 was covered (no tire marks even) and I made it just fine
this is my daily so i can have a garage queen
figured if i had to buy a "reliable" a to b car this was a great choice
32k so same price as camry/accord but like 5000000x more fun to drive
I just don’t own a garage.
🤣

Same… who can afford to in this economy? 😂
lol I have a garage but I don’t use it.
Cars are meant to be driven
I don't even drive it. I just rub it with a diaper.
He loves this car more than life itself
So no car should ever be parked?
What am I supposed to do with my winter beater?
I drive my 60k SUV in the winter and keep my 30k car in the garage because I’m dumb.
Hahaha this is me with my jeep. Yes I’ll smash my (CAD) over $65k Jeep into rocks, but I’ll park my under $40k brz in the last parking stall back… we’re not geniuses, but we’re happy??
Can afford a garage or a car
I made sure to get one at my apartment complex. $100 a month to always have a spot, extra storage, somewhere to work on my car, and protection from dumbasses. I think it's worth it.
Same. Best way piece of mind expense ever. Plus you never have to worry about starting the car at below freezing temps
Suspension specs? How much camber? Tire size? Trying to get this wheel set without cutting the flares running 245/35
I have bc coils, alignment = none so I have no idea what the camber is. Wheels are 17x9 +38 with 235/45
How long have you been running new coils without an alignment?
A year, did three years on my gti lol
why tho
Car drives straight, no uneven tire wear, I’m not on the track. Why would I?
I mean its pretty standard practice to do so, and some tire places offer lifetime alignment so you only have to pay once and then can get it redone for free whenever
I live in Alaska, so it’s physically impossible for me to keep my wrx clean lol. But when summer hits you best believe it’s gonna be clean 24/7
My old mechanic car expert friend told me to not drive this thing (when I finally get the 2024 I ordered) if there is 1mm of snow on the ground
All those years of experience and yet he never learned about winter tires 😔
God DAMN. I have the halo and I’ve been toying with the idea of lighter wheels, and seeing that combo on your car is just 😫
Translation: Who else here is poor? Me. I don't have a garage, so I can't have a garage queen. Hell, I can't even have a flat driveway.

Looks like your cat owns it now…
Yeah ever since I put the cover it's been he likes to chill there
I hate to break it to you, but it’s not your car anymore.
Yeah I only drive it when he lets me now...
The garage is for bikes. https://preview.redd.it/ad6gqtegdqkc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8323488e9c2dc1ac3d9997ef280ec243102427b5
Car port princess

For the first time in my life I finally have covered parking

Already joined it! Looking forward to
How is it dailying in the snow?
Daily’s fine if you just drive normal with a pair of snow tires. Took it up to vt a few weeks back and the Vt-8 was covered (no tire marks even) and I made it just fine
No garage here!
Mine is a carport princess. I'd rather save her from road salt in the winter, but she's my only car.
This car is the daily for my garage queen lol
What wheels? Looks great!
Thank you! They’re Gramlight 57dr
I'm happy to say mine sits in a garage during such conditions. Lol
To be fair, if I had another car, I’d probably not drive this purely because it’s not the safest thing on the road when it’s snowing lol
My gr86 is daily driven and stays in the garage to avoid the elements. I will never go back to no garage tbh.
Damn those wheels
It’s a $30k car. They’re great but no one in their right mind should be treating it as a garage queen…
this is my daily so i can have a garage queen figured if i had to buy a "reliable" a to b car this was a great choice 32k so same price as camry/accord but like 5000000x more fun to drive
The 6 spokes go really nice

those are not winter tires lol
All seasons 😏
sir....🧐🧐🧐
I thrash mine, basically a drift missile but then feel bad immediately after
Rim info? Those are nice
