I tend to agree—mandatory rules often create more headaches than solutions, especially for something as niche as classic car storage. Incentives like tax breaks or discounts might be a smarter route. Still, from my experience, not every owner is equally knowledgeable about humidity and corrosion issues. Optional workshops could bridge that gap nicely without imposing strict regulations. After all, nobody wants their prized Mustang or Camaro rusting quietly away in storage...
Good points overall, but honestly, optional workshops might not cut it. I've seen plenty of classic car owners who think tossing a tarp over their ride is enough protection—until they find rust creeping in months later. Incentives are great, sure, but maybe some basic minimum standards wouldn't hurt? Nothing crazy strict, just enough to keep the clueless from accidentally destroying their own investments. After all, nobody wants to see a beautiful vintage Corvette turn into a sad pile of rust flakes...
"Nothing crazy strict, just enough to keep the clueless from accidentally destroying their own investments."
I get where you're coming from, but I'm not fully convinced city rules are the best answer here. I mean, do we really want officials deciding what's "good enough" storage? I've known folks who kept their cars pristine on a tight budget in simple garages, and others who spent a fortune but still got rust creeping in. Maybe education and incentives could be more effective than regulations—just thinking aloud...
Yeah, good point—rules can get messy fast. I've seen garages pass city inspections but still leak moisture like crazy. Maybe a simple guideline or checklist paired with some community workshops would do the trick better...
Yeah, you're onto something there. I've had garages pass inspection too, only to find puddles under my Mustang after a heavy rain. Guidelines or workshops could be a good middle ground—gives folks practical knowledge without burying everyone in red tape. Plus, community workshops might actually be fun... swap some stories, maybe pick up a trick or two from the old-timers who've seen it all.
