    No, because it gets dirty and damaged more often meaning you need to clean and repair it more often.

      My car lives outside and I literally don’t do anything to it besides oil changes and occasional tire replacements. If all you have is a daily driver you really don’t need a garage.

        Do you live in a place that gets lots of snow? I hear a car is practically immortal in California; unlike Ohio where the salt/brine destroying the car slowly every winter.

          But the brine comes from de-iced roads, so it’s irrelevant to whether the car is parked in a garage. Maybe roadside parking could expose it to more brine due to passing traffic.

          Yes but why would my car accumulate road salt while sitting in my driveway and how would storing it in a garage make this less of a problem?
