    I need to store a 575 in the Northern VA area while my garage is being constructed. My basic requirements include a locked garage with 24/7 access, a segregated area dedicated to access only for my car and a receptacle for a battery tender. A conditioned space is a plus and I'm willing to pay more for that feature but it's not absolutely necessary. I've been looking and looking and not having much luck. Would appreciate any feedback - many thanks!

    Not many choices here in Northern Virginia.

    I've heard of one warehouse type facility for nice cars down in Marshall, VA.
    I don't have any contact info on that one though.
    And it is a bit of a drive from most of the suburbs in No. VA.

    Other thought is one of the many self-storage units.
    Those are awful narrow - hard to get in & out of the door once you get it inside.

    Thanks, Toggie. You're right about the doors. Will probably hang some heavy duty furniture moving blankets on the walls to keep from banging the doors. There's a real dearth of storage facilities around this area. Heard about the one in Marshall - too far of a haul for me . . .

    1) If you put it in a "group" space,
    and cover it with a "plain" car cover,
    you will prevent 99% of the "identification."

    2) A storage unit for one car is very stealthy.

    3) With no outlet, you can feed a battery tender
    with an additional battery, so the car battery stays
    up, while the spare goes down.

    4) If needed, swap "spare" batteries.

    5) Use a hard-to-pick padlock.
