Speaking of storage, isn't this just the biggest headache of all? Arrrrgh.
I mean, I would much rather spend hours solving a nasty intermittent
engine problem than months juggling cars around among my garage, my mother's
garage, my airplane hangar, friend's houses, the garage at work (at one time
I had 5 cars under different buildings) and other creative hideaways.
The hands-down cheapest, secure solution I have found is hangars.
I can get it down to average around $50 per month per car by really packing
them in (forget driving the ones in the back). Of course it's not heated,
and things get pretty dusty when the wind blows.
What I'd like to know is: does anyone else on the list have a better idea
for storage in a semi-urban area? I've even been pencilling out what the
costs would be to build my own small warehouse. Maybe some of the expense
could be abated by building more than I need and renting out the rest?
I've also been shopping warehouse space to rent, but they're all basically
set up for businesses (office space, power, bathrooms, high ceilings, etc),
so they're really too feature-rich for simple car storage. Oh, and the
Public Storage kinda places (Shurgard, etc.) are way too expensive (around
$200 per month for a 10 x 20 unit).
Until I come up with something better, hangars are my strategy.
Any better ideas out there...?

Somewhere between 30 and 40 cars. My fear is that when I left work, I forgot
one under a building and it's long gone now. Could'a happened, actually.
