Why not rent a garage near your house. You could put in a lift and have a place to work on the car. For the cost of the cars under discussion, the rent on a place like this is probably trivial.
So true. Good point. I should just be happy with what I have and I am but somehow, that California seems so attractive. I only have one wife and I have stayed with her for 35 years but cars, they are made for changing and having more than one, if you are able.
Married 38 wonderful years and always say: "It's way cheaper to have 1 wife & many cars."
WRS I am in a similar situation. I am more concerned about the elements than crime but there is some petty theft with people stealing purses etc here or there out of the cars. The HP police do a good job patrolling though. I am looking at a 4 post lift. I saw you say its too low but they make them for a sub 10ft ceiling. Have you considered one? I am looking at one similar to the one my cousin has below.

If you guys just wrap the entire car in clear bra, you can leave it outside or do whatever else you want to it. Besides nothing is going to happen from it sitting outside. My only exception is like a hurricane or really really big snow storm. I would not want all that ice cold snow on the car, and if it's raining and really windy, branches and other stuff will hit the car.

You forget vandals, thieves, etc. I have three very active young boys next door, and they are always out doing something often involving *****, sticks, branches. While I don't think they would intentionally do anything, you never know about an errant baseball or other projectile.
I also have a heavily wooded lot with trees up to 100 foot tall or so, and sometimes large branches beak off. There is more to the risks than just weather.
I only have a two car garage and the RR stays in the driveway while the Porsches are in the garage. I have enough room to add another car and park the 991tts outside but I am loathe to do that even though I would like to get a Ferrari California without getting rid of the 991tts. How many here park their car outside? I see a lot of people parking cars outside but not really high end cars like this one.
ETA: Actually my neighbor parks his Cayenne outside on the street under a tree and it's a 2014 Hybrid S. There is another neighbor that parks an RS5 and an older Cayenne out on the street under a tree. Seems dumb to me because I know trees can damage paint.
dude you live in Texas, one hail storm and the car parked outside is covered in dents.

I know. Just too many risks. Actually we already had a hail storm in May and it was a big one but the hail was pea sized and didn't harm the RR at all. Not all hail is golf ball size which is what makes the big dents usually. Dime size can do it sometimes.
The rented garage solution would seem to be the most likely but I would be concerned about security in that situation.
