For the vehicles that stay in the cold...a good way to help with the scraping issues is to fill a dollar store spray bottle with Optikleen (WSW fluid) and spray it all down before you start the car. It will start to melt it and help make it easier to come off. Same with headlights etc.

Happy wife = Happy life!!!

Either get a legit car cover, or find offsite storage for your Camaro.

What you need is one of these. I'll be renting space for two Camaro's this winter.

I'd keep her happy. Or hope she makes it worth your while to give up the garage space...

I'm taking my ws6 back home tomorrow where it will spend the winter next to the camaro in the farm shop.... tears.

Rent a storage unit to put the Camaro in for the winter. Let the girl have the garage for the winter with the understanding that the Camaro gets it back when you take it out of storage.

Camaro gets the garage. If she doesn't like parking outside,show her the door.

my thoughts exactly! a storage unit isn't much and it can make you both happy!

20 years from now which car will benefit i.e. be worth more from not being in the elements. The Camaro will take a large hit the first couple of years but will still be worth alot more than that Venza will be in 5 years. you'll be lucky if it is north of 10 grand in 5 years. Camaro will still be north of 15 at the same point,if not 20.
