This is a VERY important point. The moisture you trap in there can rust your car just as quickly as rain that falls from the sky. Most people don't realize that dew forms everywhere that air can reach. The best outdoor storage is probably a carport, with a big enough roof that rain never falls on the car, and good drainage so that water never stands under it. Actually, my favorite idea for car storage would be what's called a "dead" cave. That's one that no longer has water running thru it. So, low humidity, constant temp, 40-45F. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
