Not at all and it's been 2 1/2 years. I'm not close to any body of water which lessens the risk, so when it rains it's a lot cleaner then if you were closer to any Ocean (salt water speeds the corrosion process).

I have to park outside at our new place since I don't have a garage. Can't wait to buy the house here soon so I can get the G inside. Biggest problem are the birds in the big tree that covers our dway. Just had the tree trimmed and no more! I have been washing my like 3 times a week and it def has a nice coat of wax on it for protection.

Garage parking is very good for the life of your paint. Plus trees, birds, hail, baddass neighborhood kids, etc... can really do you in.

I park my car in the garage at home and at work.

Would not buy the car until I had a garage to put it in. Garaged anytime it's at the house (wife drives it to work and parks outside).

Unfortunately my dad hogs the 3 car garage. I'm in a pretty decent neighborhood so I'm not too worried about vanadlism. California doesn't cause my car to get too dirty, however I'm thinking of investing in a cover for the hot CA sunshine.

So hot on a hot day & so cold on a cold day, so no, I don't park it outside. I hate the idea of waiting a few minutes before I can get in because the seats are too hot, or getting in on a freezing day when the seats are so cold.

Mine is always in the garage at home and outside at work. I have on more than one occasion driven it to shelter when storms move through, though. We can get some killer hail in Texas sometimes...

parked outside always and exposed to the desert sand and right now the extreme heat

will atleast try to get a some kind of sheet up to give the car some shade, though it wont protect it from the dust.

We only put one car in the garage at a time so it is first come, first serve - which means if my wife gets there first, I have to move her car to put mine in the garage

IDK if washing 3x a week is a good idea you are gonna dull the paint out quicker and gonna need to polish even if you do good practices. BTW r u using ONR

My family has 9 cars, and 6 garage spaces...

Thankfully my G is one of them, but before I had this car i had a real old pickup which never ever saw the inside of the garage. Gotta set some priorities though!
