Question on storage for a garage queen mint 90
So, moving my shop to another shop here in Alabama. Old shop had enough room to store one of my two Corvettes in. New shop will not have the room (trying to lower my overhead) anyway, my home two car garage has my other car and my wife's Camry and she isn't giving up her space. My choices are limited but basically it's a 20x40 mini storage rental for $150 a month or a climate controlled mini-storage for 325 a month- which I have a hard time paying a car payment for storage. Rodents not withstanding, would my car be damaged (ie corrosion or tarnish) ect. from the non-climate controlled storage?

a 10x 20 will work for your car, sweat rain season were the floors will sweat isnt good, the cold temps are not too good but not a super harmful thing in my opinion

I'd put down something over the floor,rodent proof the place with cayenne pepper and mothballs and check once a month. I'm in the same spot but I've got a friend with a shop that's going to rent me space for 6 months.

I have a car capsule that I would put it in. I am just trying to avoid corrosion and tarnish. I would be in a 10x20 rental unit but I just hate doing that!

Re: Question on storage for a garage queen mint 90
I had mine in a 10'X20' for 10 years here in Florida. Never had a problem with moisture seeping in from concrete floor. Humidity lower then outside due to it heating up so much inside during daytime. Never had rodent problem. Car was under car cover inside. The facility slabs had good plastic vapor barrier under them and they did regular pest control. I just wish I had the $18,000 back. I now have my own detached 2 1/2 car garage that is climate controlled. P.S. the car did not deteriorate while stored there. I also drove it every 2 or 3 weeks.

Re: Question on storage for a garage queen mint 90
Are you sure about prioritizing the camry over a Z?
I love toyotas more than most and feel the camry will be fine outside LOL. Or, try to shove 3 cars into a 2 car garage like i do. Last edited by Supercoupe91; 10-28-2023 at 10:27 AM. |
