Need to store my car in Southern Calif?

[Dtrigg]

The wife and I are going to sell the house and do some around-the-world travling for about six months or so. I need to find a place that I can store the car.

Does anyone have any idea where I can store it?

Thanks.

Doug

Public Storage

Vroom...

uhh, err, hmm... Ask MrWolf

p.s. make sure to get insights from your insurer of the coverage, etc while it is in storage at a locale that you do not own.

How about Phoenix? Free storage in my garage, if you let me drive it once in a while.

Hay Phoen$x --

Are you serious or is that just a joke? I posted on the general board regarding a "regular" storage versus having a place where I could keep the car and have it started, moved around, etc.

NO REPLY versus the pros and cons on the general board. I have a place here in Santa Barbara that does lots of exotics. When I spoke with the owner, he said he would store it and run it, and in fact take it around the block a few times. I've known him for years and he has done work on my previous vehicles. (When I stopped by to see him there were a few Lambos, several open wheeled cars, etc.)

Anyway, are you serious? I think I would want the car started and moved versus a cold storage.

I went to grad school in Phoenix. Where are you?

Hi Doug, I live in N/W Phoenix, Arrowhead specifially. My post was made partly in jest (because I didn't think anyone would ever take me up on it!), but yes--I would be glad to offer my garage space to a fellow NSX Prime owner in need, as long as the insurance issues are worked out. It would be a dream come true for me as well, since I've always wanted two NSXs in my garage.

Here are some pros & cons, in case you want to further entertain my offer:

Pros
+ AZ has no earthquakes or other natural disasters to speak of, and very mild weather.
+ Very low price (can't beat free!)
+ Your NSX will be babied, and exercised (gently!) regularly by an anal retentive car freak.
+ I have a car cover, extra trickle battery charger, water softner, and detailing supplies to keep your NSX in pristine condition.
+ Basch Acura, as well as several respected Acura dealerships, are nearby should you need any service done.
+ You car will be cared for by an avid car enthusiast with a squeaky clean driving record (no tickets and one not-at-fault accident in 14+ years).
+ Your NSX will be stored in a clean and clutter-free enclosed garage.

Cons
- AZ has one of the highest car theft rates in the nation, although your NSX would always be parked in an enclosed garage, or under constant supervision while out & about--it would never be left unattended.
- You would have to place your trust with someone you don't know very well.
- I am not a business, so insurance would be an issue (hmm...maybe I should go into the carsitting business professionally! ).

Hay Danny, good to here from you and glad to hear your car is running again. I kept reading your thread about the problems you were having. I also saw your brother not too long ago. That black and tan car of his is looks brand new.

I was asking about you when I was a Gold Coast Acura for a service the other day.

I'll give you a call.

Doug, in case you were wondering about what kind of facilities I've got, here's a pic of my attached single car garage that is completely separated from the two-car garage. I would be glad to keep your NSX in it. The house is set back a good distance from the street, so it would be well protected.

We may have room in San Diego, private me if this location works better for you.
