My garage is very old and detatched from my house. It is somewhat damp, and being part of military housing, is not something I can alter, even if there was a way to better seal it from the weather. While it is just large enough to fit my Firebird, I am concerned that the garage may not be a great place to keep the car. My only other options are uncovered areas, which to me seems like an obvious second choice when compared to even a damp garage. In this ever-humid environment of N Louisiana, what are some good techniques for keeping my car from rusting when it is parked overnight or when it is being worked on?
I do drive the car often, when it is working. I have power in the garage and was planning on setting up two dehumidifiers in the garage. What else can be done?
I have a Firebird that has to be parked outdoors due to space constraints. I keep it up on a set of ramps to provide free airflow underneath (and coincidentally enough room to go under and work on it too). It also wears an inexpensive car cover.
It's nowhere near as good as my garage. My garage is high and dry and has excellent ventilation with a continuous ridge vent.

I have to keep my cammer out in the weather. Like Vikki's, mine is under an inexpensive generic cover. If I get extra funds, I'd like to get a custom fit cover. If you have a nice paint job you may want to get a custom fit cover so the paint wont get as scuffed with a generic cover.
