Going to hopefully be in the luxurious position of retiring the DC5 to a weekend toy. I want your experience and views on storage of the teg when it only gets used a couple of times a month. I know that a garage would be ideal, but I don't have one, and don't own the house so can't build one...

What advice do you guys have to keep the teg sparkly and out of sight?

Can't you rent a garage near to your home, a garage is the best way to keep your teg safe from the weather and local scum bags your only other alternative would seem to be a car cover which can end up scratching your paint if the car isn't spot less when putting the cover on.

My advice would be, sell the Teg and buy a proper weekend toy. It's a practical Honda.
Thats blasphemy, everyone knows that if you drive a Teg or leave it out to the elements itll rust away....

Alternatively, youll find alot of motors in the big yellow storage places, you could get a race car transporter trailer and disable the ability to toe or jusy buy a cover

It sits outside in the elements all day every day at the moment and doesn't rust.. Don't think daily or weekly use will affect that... I want to keep it clean once it is clean... Basically protect it as well as I can but I want to keep it at my house because if it's not there I might as well not have it if it's in a garage that I don't own...

There Are no race tracks or anything near me here so I can't justify anything more crazy, nor do I want it... I love the car and know I'll want another if I sell it... Can't use it for my commute because it's too stiff, and noisy... Need something more refined...

I heard this guy telling me he went to prison...prior to that he had his car foamed or something so it stays air tight or something...does anyone know about this? I thinks it's like a liquid that dried into styrofoam or something.....????
