How is your Fit kept?

I figured this would be a fun poll to see how our Fits are cared for on a day to day basis. Mine is parked in my driveway and covered I'd say 75% of the time, especially in the summer on hot days. Really helps protect my black paint.

It's in the driveway for now, but I'll have it in the garage by winter.

Before I bought my fit, I had a 1995 Subaru wagon which I kept outside- the garage was filled with 3 bikes and two scooters. Once I bought my Fit- I organized & cleaned the garage to make room for the Fit and it fit nicely

I keep mine in my garage. Not so much for the sake of the Fit, but rather for the sake of DrewE who got more than enough practice clearing snow and ice off of his car before he had a house with a usable garage.

(I say "usable garage" because for several years I rented a neat old farmhouse that had a garage with a fatally flawed design. It had doors that swung out, like a traditional carriage house, and a fairly steep metal roof that sloped to dump its snow right in front of said doors. I very quickly realized that it was more shoveling to keep the doors opening widely enough to drive in and out than it was to just keep the car outside.)

Fit is too low to get into my garage so she stays covered under a NOAH all-weather waterproof cover in my driveway instead

Garaged since I bought a house with a garage. The day I have to park it on the driveway is the day I have too much crap I need to get rid of in the garage to make room for my Fit. And voted.

When I moved into my Fiancee's house, we had to clean a ton of stuff out of the garage just to walk into it. There's still too much but we've been selling stuff off over time and making space. I can't wait for the day at least one side of the garage is completely clear so I can park and work on my car inside.

In the driveway beside the house.

Parked at home isn't the issue for me. It's driving through all the dust, trying to avoid all the horse and cow poop on the roads, and all the bugs! LOL.

It spent its first 4 years of its life parked in the driveway. Now it gets a garage spot
