Default Car storage for rent?

Hi,

I might be moving temporarily to a location with limited parking. I also might need to buy another car for commuting to Vegas for business as my S2000 has already been modified beyond the point where I can physically drive it longer than 3 hours without extreme suffering. And for sure, even if I could drive it, no sane person would ride with me (especially of the female pursuation).

So, I'm just researching now--anyone know if there is such a thing as car storage for a reasonable cost in the LA area? I'm sure there are out there for rich people... but I don't think I can justify buying a new car only to pay 50% of the price to simply store the other car.

Thanks.

You can look into the storage units, they are usually well priced. As for a garage, people are massive idiots with that. They usually pack rat useless shit into them to where they can not fit a car in. With my old house out in LBC, I rented both garage spaces out and made over 1k a month doing it. The 3rd bay was for my S!

Garage space is serious money to be made, best to throw clutter out and not be a pack rat!

Good luck on your search BTW!

Thats pretty reasonable, that a storage facility or private garage?

wow... saw one for $200/month for a 2 car garage. that's not bad.

my only reservation is that i don't know these people. they could f my car and it would be a pain to sue. i think i'd be more comfortable with a professional service.

storage... the only problem with renting space is that you cannot access your car 24 hrs a day...
