Hi Danny,
I live in Frankenmuth, probably not too far from you. What I do with my
"summer" cars is store them in local farmers equipment sheds. There are a
number of farmers around here that rent storage space for cars, boats, RV's
etc. The sheds have concrete floors, are totally closed, and reasonably
secure. The best part is the price - the two guys I have used charge $1 per
foot. So for a spridget the price would be $12 per month - cheap! I throw
a cheap car cover over my cars to keep the dust off. I also do the regular
storage prep such as fresh oil change, full gas tank, tires inflated
properly, and I pull the battery and store it in my basement. No problems
whatsoever.
