Default moving to coloardo in need of advice

im going to be moving to colorado springs in about 2 months and im searching high and low for a decent house with a garage so i can store my car during winter or bad weather. ive found only one really and im waiting to hear back from him. anywho if i dont get the house ill be getting an apartment or something but without a garage. those of you without a garage how/where do you store your car during winter? should i get an under carriage coat to protect my car from rust? and lastly any tips in general on storying my car. thanks

If you aren't driving your car in the winter you shouldn't need the under carriage coat. But it would be a nice thing to have. Over the winter I had my car stored in a storage unit. They are a bit cheaper over there. My 20x10 was $120/month.

We didnt get enough snow this year to justify a garage, so I just drove it and washed it up after every storm.
