Here is the deal on my current garage status/priority. We have an Xterra and the 91 2+2 that are daily drivers. They stay outside. Now that we have the roadster, the 2+2 will be sold.
We also have the '86 Z that was my daughter's. It was wrecked xmas eve year before last and I can't even stomach lifting the cover off of it. Daughter was fine, the car was not. It is sitting in front of the garage where I moved xmas day. It has to go so I need to find someone that wants to put it back together. Front end damage...impact with a crepe myrtle. I would hate to see it parted out but that might happen too. Not by me, I don't have the time.
The TwinTurbo has always been garaged. That is, until we brought the roadster home a couple of weeks ago. My garage is a mess and although there is room to comfortably accommodate both, it has to be re-organized first. I also have to move the fridge and figure out how to best place the riding mower. The wife knows I want a place with more land and a lot more garage space. She is supportive of that but it will be at least a year before we are ready to move.

All the best.

Here is what I previously answered a similar question. For now it holds accurate but I am still easing into the roadster...
"You will have to give me a little time to get a real feel for the roadster. I only have about 20 minutes of seat time right now.
I have owned my TT for 9 years and just recently rebuilt the motor with lots of upgrades. Target was 450-475 rwhp on pump gas. Hasn't been on the dyno yet but I feel we got pretty close with the "safe tune". That being said, I have about 5 seasons of autocross and am very familiar with it. It just feels like home, if you know what I mean.
Initial impressions: The 370 is more of a sport luxury car with exceptional balance and handling and adequate hp. The TT is just an all business, no BS, bad a$$ sports car that is comfortable enough to cruise.
Hit me up in a few weeks and I may have an entierly different opinion. "

Actually, it is the Stormproof and it is probably not as soft as the Satin. I plan to use it mostly as a dust cover in the garage and outside when we travel. I was able to pick the colors and was pleasantly surprised that the "wine" is so close to the top color.

Thanks. She won't be outside unless we are out of town.
