You aren’t thinking it through; you are leaving your $40,000 car out in the sun and rain, open to thieves and vandals while your garage protects all of your holiday decorations, boxes from the past, and cases of your book nobody wants to buy. It may be nice to have all of your stored belongings nearby, but you use your car everyday. You pay good money to wash it every week and every now and then, you may have it detailed.
