Heya, everybody.
As some of you know, I'm pretty young, and I'll be going back to grad school soon. Currently, my coupe is residing in my folk's garage, causing much consternation and aggravation for all involved.
4 people + 6 vehicles + 3 garage spots = somebody is not happy.
So, to alleviate this, I'd like to move the coupe somewhere for long-term storage. The body is nice and stable, so it isn't like it will rust out from under me. (if it does, my body guy and I are going to have a long talk) I've been looking at various storage places, they seem to charge ~150-200$ per month. To me, that seems like throwing money away. I was thinking of buying a small plot of land in the boonies, building a small building, and keeping the coupe there.
Trouble is, being out in the boonies, I'd be worried about something happeneing to my coupe. So, I'd probably build some crazy hardened structure to shelter the car. Hook up a webcam to let me check it periodically, some power to keep the temp pretty stable, a few other amenities. The total cost to do this would likely be in the 10k range.
Since most of you are more experienced with finances and life in genral, I'd like to hear your opinions as to the better choice in this instance: build a shed, or put it in a self-storage place?
