Do you garage your car?
It took me 6 1/2 hours strait to organize/clean my dads garage good enough to fit a car into.
A couple of weeks ago i moved back to my fathers for certain reasons.. he has a garage, but it was filled with work benches, shelvs, junk.. just crap he has been collecting and storing in there for the past 5 years
Well, my car hasnt seen a garage for about a year or so, i think i saw her smile at me when i washed and parked her inside..
Finally a nice clean garage to keep my baby out of the weather and nice and clean..
Who else here puts their car in a garage every night? i'm just curious

**ALWAYS** garaged my car. Especially since it's red, it will oxidize really quick. The harsh climates will shorten the life of the paint no matter what paint is used.
For an '88, my car is still showroom condition.
Monthly waxing and polishing using quality products like Zaino Brothers helps too.
If it has to sit outside, always use a car cover. It's better getting it dusty than the sun oxidizing the paint.
Mazda used the most cheapest paint IMO so extra care should be taken.

Hmm...when I had my NA FC, I would garage it inside or outside sometimes during the night. Of course when I'm off to college, it stays in the garage. FC is my weekend cruiser.
Now my TII will stay in the garage every night for peace of mind (not that my neighborhood is bad or anything but more of a paranoid thing.)
It's also more of a hassle because my garage is on an incline + no automatic open door garage + no power steering + backs out into a street with heavy traffic during the day.

Damn, the only reason my cars been garaged is because it hates me and never runs, if it runs, it gets to stay outside, but it's scared of others I guess.

Mine's garaged, actually I take up the only available spot in the garage kicking out my mom's 03 Mercedes, my old man's 02 BMW and our 97 Grand Cherokee, I guess I really love that car lol.
