Storage & Other - First One - Help!

[snoword]

I am thinking about purchasing a Boxster ('00 or '01) as a second car for the summer months. I live in the north east and will not be driving it in the winter. I have a two car garage but not room for a 3rd car (wife’s x3 takes the other bay). I am curious to what others do for storage. I do not want to keep one of our other cars outside in the winter (328 & X3).

Park in a corner of the yard w/ a cover? Not sure. What is everyone else doing?

Also, all I read about is engine failures. Is it really that bad and happen as often as I read about it. I am not sure what to expect but I am having real reservations at this point. Maybe turning to a Z4. Please help me pull this into perspective.

Thanks for your feedback.
