How big of a unit do you use? I measured my formula (98) and I got it being about 15'4". also what are you guys paying per month.

when I was in indiana I payed 10 a month to a guy that had a nice barn. most places will charge about 60-150 pre month. make sure you tell your insurance company as it will save you some money.

put the car under storage with your insurance (80 bucks a year ~), then get a 15x10x10 unit. should be around 100 bucks, so either keeping the car insured fully or stored u will be paying the same (unless u are one of these teen boners that pay 300 bucks a month for insurance lol)

haha i'm only 17. but I do pay about 160 a month and my parents won't let me drive it in the winter (I really don't want to either.) I was just wondering since I was quoted 100/month for a 10x15 and 130/month for a 10x20.

Those prices seem pretty reasonable.

Before I had a garage (prior to '00) I used to rent a 10X30 year round. I kept a lot more than just the car in there though, I had lots of stuff I needed to store at that time. It cost me quite a bit, about $240 per month from what I can remember and that was over 5 years ago. Guess the location also plays a role in price. Storage might be more expensive around Chicago.
