When I was typing that, I thought to myself, someone is going to raise
the definition of abuse. I guess I cannot argue but sometimes it is
difficult to prevent. We leave my mother's car in the garage at the lake
in the fall and it stays inside until mid May. Unfortunately, the spring
tends to be damp when the snow melts etc. My shop tools in the same
garage - table saw and jointer etc - will need to have the rust removed
before I start to use them. I have tried different sorts of treatments
to the tops but it is just damp in there.
I would like to find a way to prevent the dampness but about the only
thing I can think of that would work, would be to heat it. I don't think
that ventilating would help much. The problem is that the air outside is
warmer and moist and the cold concrete floor inside sweats as a result
of that. We get some of that in the summer when it is humid. I had the
same problem in my garage at home in the city for a few days this
spring. It looked like someone had sprayed the floor with a hose. There
were literally puddles. Essentially because it was very damp out and the
inside of the garage was much colder than the outdoor temperature. All
was well until we opened the big door and let the warmer moist air into
the garage.
If anyone has a solution, I sure would like to hear it. My only thought
is that one would need to warm up the concrete floor and that woudl be
difficult when there is frost in the ground. If I had the heated floor
setup it would be great but I cannot see myself installing that in the
garage anytime soon.

True but improper storage is a kind of abuse as is not washing the salt off your car.
It's also "abusive" to treat your low mileage survivor to a below average paint
job!
