Bringing the Hellcat home on Monday, who else is keeping their Hellcat outside in the driveway. Not in a garage when it's not in use?
NO Garage for Hellcat!

Kept mine outside for a month until I installed floor to ceiling protective curtains in the garage to keep particulates away from the Hellcat. For that month, it was cleaner being outside in the elements than if it had been under roof.
Your car, you can do what you want...
Personally, I'd never leave a $60k+ vehicle outside in the elements. Sun, rain, snow, bird shit, vandals, etc...
I'd park my beaters in the elements (or the wife's car), but never the Hellcat.

Yeah, that ain't happening!
MzKitty stays outside because I travel all of the U.S. Working. We live in our 44 foot toy hauler more than I do my home and I ain't leaving her home. Unfortunately my toy hauler won't house MzKitty other wise she would be in there with the motorcycle and golf cart. I have purchased a car cover for her hopefully that will help keep the elements off her.
Yeah, I wanted to wait to buy my four-post lift until me my car comes...it now actually looks like it will be here in a week or so (only 2 months late, lol)...so now I'm scrambling to get a hoist installed...
Maybe, but since you've had the Hellcat you've probably parked in the garage more than in the last 10 years (not counting when I would be out of town on travel).
No way in hell mine will be outside.all our srt"s go inside and I store the 300srt in the winter so my lovely wife doesn't have to brave the canadian winter she parks her jeep in the garage and my truck sits outside freezing in -40 weather but the two chargers never!! Lol
Mine will be a daily driver and will have to live outside. No room in my one car garage.
I can see Hellcat as a daily driver, that would work. But leaving my Cat out in the night living around Philly Pa. area, oooonoo strange things happen in the night.
From many years of experience I came to the realization that leaving a vehicle set outside in our climate destroys them. The nightly "dew cycle" really weathers the car. I would never buy a new vehicle again without having a garage for it. I would spend the $ to build a garage first - and you can build a pretty nice garage for 1/2 the cost of a Hellcat.
I live in FL and daily drove my '12 SRT and it lived outside a garage....thing still looked brand new with 20k miles when I traded her in. Mind you I washed it weekly even if it needed it or not. And in the middle of the week I would hit it with a pressure washer to keep it somewhat clean if needed.
I am daily driving my Hellcat but I leave it in the garage at night now. The roads around my area are in great shape. A little flooding here and there but for my regular commute to and from work (5 miles) there is never any flooding. I avoid the places that do flood.
I can understand where different parts of the county and different weather conditions (or questionable neighborhoods) can effect this decision though.

Fiona has her own end spot in the garage. I spent many hours nesting for her. Just have to paint the floor and maybe an insulated garage curtain to separate her.
