Garage G500 4x4

A local dealer has a black G500 4x4 squared and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger. The only problem is it won't fit in my garage. Am I a lunatic to park it outside? In Seattle on top of that.....???

Do you guys garage yours? I'm thinking about adding on to my garage just to fit this thing in as well.

Seriously, how can anyone but you answer this question? It's your truck and you made the money to pay for it - do with it what you want. I wouldn't leave mine outside, but I wouldn't leave my old FJ80 outside either.

Pretty cheap, all things considering, so long as you have room for it.

I'm in Kirkland and mine has lived outside ever since I've had it 10 years. I use spray wax on the roof and don't rub it in because it's hard to get to and I can't see it. Other than that Mercedes paint will hold its shine. I just waxed mine today and it's soft as a baby. It does need a pressure washer every once in a while to blow the green growth out of the crevices.

I was at a dealer yesterday that had one of the 4x4sq's. Impressive truck, I'm surprised I'd ever see one. At the same time, they were asking $240k. Yea I'm not parking a $240k car outside, on a public street nonetheless.
