    Anyone had recommendations on a spot to store my new (to me) 03' 360. My driveway is steep as hell at home and I don't want to be tearing up the underbelly of the car for no reason.

    I have a hangar at fullerton airport for one of my planes but I don't want to drive all the way to Fullerton to drive my car.

    My business is located at SNA John Wayne Airport so Ideally it will be near there or between Huntington Beach and John Wayne. I know about crevier, but even if they had space I wouldn't want to keep my car there simply because they rent the place out to the public.

    I am not opposed to leasing out a building for parking as well if there are others who are interested in parking/sharing costs. I've got a couple buddy's with gt3's & race cars and whatnot that are interested if I go that route.

    Thanks in advance, Hope to meet some of you soon!

    I am also looking for storage space for my exotics and race cars, and I have a buddy who is also looking. However, we are more towards South OC... I have looked for suitable building for lease or purchase for some time without much success...

    Buildings are hard to come by here in OC. I currently have 3 in the area and have been looking to expand one of my business but it seems building owners are getting very picky about what they want in their buildings. Buying is a whole different story. One of my clients at my flight school is a commercial RE agent, he is currently looking for potential lease possibilities.

    It's too bad you guys are so far south. This is the same issue I'm having. I dont want to drive 30 minutes to get to my car. (It's all street driving which is my issue. If I could hop on the 405 i'd be okay with it.)

    I was looking for the same thing. I have my office on Airway Ave. There is a place I heard of called Private Car Storage in Irvine 17811 gillete ave 949-346-2277. I Have a 488 spider arriving and looking for a place to store my Scud. They charge $250 per month for indoor storage and have a service where they will start your car and move it for long term storage. Its a valet service so you can call ahead, they will have your car washed and ready for pick up when you want. That is what I was thinking of doing. I am also open to getting a Hanger or building to start my car collection with. Feel free to PM me your number and we can talk.

    Take care,

    Patrick

    I work near SNA so something around there could work, but ideally not north of Spectrum in Irvine...

    Regular storage space, 10X20 is what I have used before.
    $150-200, sometimes deals on first month. I never had a issue.
    Something to get you by until a perm place is found.....

    I've considered that, but most of the ones locally to me are not 24 hour access and / or dont provide an outlet for a battery tender. Also id rather not have the fuss of a coded gate plus roll up door to pull my car out. The. Coded gate to get out again

    Guys, if you are closer to Laguna Beach, I just found a larger space than what I would need and maybe able to spare three spaces. Cost $400 per car. This is strictly secured parking for 6 cars total.

    +1000 for Hopalong Auto Storage.

    First class facility. Mike has a "can do" attitude, and he's very accommodating.

    I'm having my driveway modified so I can park the F-Car at home. Contractor is only charging me $1300. I'll be taking a couple of my other cars I never drive and parking them in my Airplane Hangar which I already pay for anyways. Thanks for all the suggestions! :D

    Check out my old driveway in Laguna Beach. LOL. I somehow managed to get my Stradales up and down that driveway a thousand times without scraping anything :)

    Check out these driveways. LOL

    I know. LOL. I'll never complain about my driveway again :) That really steep one is insane! I think a tank would even struggle with that one!

    dude, my neighbor's driveway is that, but twice as long and always covered in leaves. I hear their Lexus SUV spin the tires every night when they get home. One day they will get enough traction to launch over the side and into my master bedroom.

    You're in luck because there's a great place in Costa Mesa (near John Wayne Airport). Contact Mike Andrews. I go back and forth between Utah and Laguna Beach, and when I need to store my cars (I have a Speciale and a Stradale) I use Hopalong. Mike owns and operates Hopalong, and he definitely takes very good care of his clients and their cars.
