As a classic car owner<\/a>, you’ve sunk anywhere from $15,000 to $250,000 into your vintage vehicle. For this reason, you may be reluctant to entrust a third-party storage facility with your several-thousand-dollar investment. After all, vehicle storage—without the proper precautions taken—poses risks like battery drainage, accumulated moisture in the gas tank, engine oil contamination, and even cosmetic damage<\/em>.
