I thought about storage places, but I think they require it to be dead storage (i.e. no working on a car). Bummer. Not sure how much heat has to do with it but I guess some people think its really bad for the car. My realtor mentioned that there were some garages in Somerville - I will look into that. I do agree about the salt though - there is a huge pile of it right across the bay in Chelsea for use in the city - yuck!
We'll see - I may just try to convince my cousin in Westchester county to let me use his garage - he's got 4 spots!
