This article does not do a good job of explaining what the attack vectors are.

Among other things, this is why I wanted a house with a garage. I just keep my car in the garage.

I'm very much in the minority in my neighborhood though. Everyone seems to use their garage for other things then park in the driveway or on the street. It annoys me to no end.

Odd thing to be that annoyed by. I don't understand people who obsess over the way other people's houses look. Unless you have an expensive car or a project car it seems like a waste of good space to store a car in the garage. But hey, to each their own.

If I had a garage it would totally be used for shop space and storage. Most people here seem to use their garages as additional space. My car can survive the rain just fine outside. The tools and equipment I wish I had space for, not so much.

Shame you let other people's reasonable decisions bother you. Not everyone wants to obsess over opening a car.

A car sitting outside all the time will absolutely wear much faster than one that's in a garage. I mean people can do what they want, I don't care, but it's not just a cosmetic thing to keep your car indoors when you're not using it.
