Default Anyone put their "beater car" in storage over the summer?

I've been using my S as a daily driver for the past year without any difficulty, but I keep telling myself, "It sure would be nice to have a second car."

The problem is, I don't think I would have much use or need for a second car during the summer months.

Anyone put their "beater" or second car in storage during the summer? Any ideas?

I don't. The S2000 is a fun car only. For grocery shopping, commuting to work/school, going to the gym, post office, just your basic daily grind things I use my Chevy.

The beater still comes in handy during the rainy spells.

I wouldn't put it in storage. It's better IMO to drive a car every week to keep everything working.

Here's what I do. I have a S2000 and a Passat (V6). during the spring/summer I drive the S2000 80% of the time, but I drive the Passat on rainy days or at least once a week. In the fall/winter I do the reverse and put snow tires on the Passat. The net result is I drive both around 8000 miles a year.
