The Corvette story really hits home—I had a similar experience with my dad's old Camaro. Thought the garage was safe enough, but mice decided otherwise... chewed wires everywhere. I'm skeptical city-run workshops would reach the right crowd too. Enthusiasts tend to trust their own circles more, like clubs or meet-ups. Maybe cities could support those groups instead of running things directly? Feels less intrusive and probably more effective overall.
I get your point about enthusiasts trusting their own circles, but honestly, I've seen city-run workshops surprise people. A few years back, my neighbor—who swore he'd never trust anything "official"—went to a city-sponsored classic car storage seminar out of sheer boredom. Came back genuinely impressed by the practical tips and even made a couple of new contacts. Sometimes, an outside perspective can offer fresh insights that tight-knit groups might overlook... just something to consider.
I get the skepticism, honestly felt the same way. But last summer I wandered into one of those city-run tire maintenance workshops—mostly for the free coffee—and ended up learning a trick or two. Guess sometimes official sources aren't all bad...
I mean, fair enough about the workshops—I’ve stumbled into a few city-run things myself and been pleasantly surprised. But honestly, these new storage rules feel like they're missing the point. Classic cars aren't daily drivers, right? Seems like they're lumping everyone together without considering how differently we use our vehicles. Maybe the city should spend less time micromanaging storage and more on practical stuff... potholes, anyone?
Totally get your frustration on this one. A few thoughts:
- You're spot-on about classic cars being treated differently. They're more hobby than transportation, and lumping them in with daily drivers doesn't make sense.
- Cities often roll out blanket rules because it's easier administratively, but it rarely fits everyone's needs.
- And yeah, potholes... priorities seem a bit off sometimes.
Hopefully they'll reconsider once enough people point out the practical issues. Good call bringing this up.
