[pct-l] long term parking; was [PCT FORUM!]

[Jason Moores]

Last year I shopped around and found the least expensive storage unit in my
area and just parked it inside. I was able to negotiate 6 months for $240
with the owner of the lot.

It doesn't handle the desire to have the car started or moved but it could
be the least expensive. There must be thousands of storage unit lots in the
San Diego area.
