Re: Keeping an Atom outside under a Cover

I you echo the insurance comments, and add that i dehumidify my garage to keep it dry. I don't think Atoms are better than other cars at handling water or a damp environment. If you really want keep one outside buy an older well used car and expect it to suffer a little. It would be madness IMO to h...
