Southern owners that have kept their car outside

New Mexico USA is maybe about as bad as it gets--low latitude and high altitude--and UV damage is bad here. This is big time skin cancer country. I've just purchased my 2001 and it shows plenty of sun damage from its prior life in Denver. Granite grey upholstery and top pretty bad as is confusingly the third brake light lens. Rain forest green paint did well. Have garage, but my motorcycles are getting crowded.

Here in Phoenix we know what hot is. Parking a car in summer outside in full sun is brutal on the car and you when you get in it. When my S is not in the garage I seek any shade I can find for her. Shade is worth more then gold in summer. When I look for a job one of my considerations is if covered parking is offered. I am not kidding.
