Portable Garage?
I was wondering if anyone here owned a portable garage. I live in Kansas and am looking for options for around $500 to store my car in. There is a small parking lot behind my house that I could put some sort of portable garage. I was just wondering what people do when they don't have a garage and want some sort of daily protection for their S2000. I figure it's a small car, so I won't need anything too large.

I might do that, I was just hoping someone in here who doesn't have a garage could give me advice. I was also wondering how well a car cover would work vs. a portable garage. Do car covers tend to scratch a car if you take them off and on... on a daily basis?

I've found taking on/off a cover very tedious after a month. Plus in CA, you never know what the elements will give ya... heck just last week it was raining on a hot/humid afternoon! I was going to buy this portable garage this http://whiskey-rock.com/product/CP42211 for $299.

You'd want at least a carport to protect it from the sun.
I don't think there is a cheap solution. You just need to build a carport, and that won't be too cheap. Better than a hashed up S, though. Mine's been garaged (at home and work) all its life, and you can definately tell that it has.

I did this before I bought the house with a garage.
