Car in garage = no brushing off snow

I rest my case

My garage houses my hobby.

Which is my car.

While EVs are perfectly happy keeping their batteries conditioned when plugged in outside, having them in a garage may reduce the energy cost somewhat in particularly hot/cold weather.

Where you primarily store your car affects your car insurance rates. It's why they ask you when getting a quote.

Hoarding is, too;)

Capitalism is a trauma machine.

When you grow up in poverty, you keep something because it will most likely be the only one of those things you will ever get. You may not need it now, but if you do later, youre fucked. So you keep it. Best case? You share "the things" with people you can trust and build a mutual aid network of friends that help each other, but by god you make sure you can get to "the things."

It's no wonder people being exposed to constant trauma do protective things. You could even say it's a reasonable response.

Hoarding can be a trauma behavior. Their can be many more reasons for becoming a hoarder. There is also more than one way of hoarding. It is more a spectrum than a set standard behavior.

I do, but uh ... it's in my username. If I weren't running multiple hobbies and a business out my barely-one-car garage, maybe my car could have a house. The one time I parked in my current garage, without stuff on either side, there still wasn't room to open the doors all the way.

Anyways, weather-proof chargers exist. Blows my mind that enough people supposedly don't know this to have any real impact. Well, it would, if I believed it.
