Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
You are probably the only guy on Rennlist that won't have to do any pre-storage maintenance or preparation, because your car is already used to sitting in one spot, being neglected for week after week.
Leading evidence: 'only guy' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'only guy' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Disconnect speedometer cable' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Long story short - I have a 2 car garage, one bay reserved for the 4S. But, have a new S4 on the way and would like to garage it, too. Problem is that my wife won't give up her bay for her 3 series this winter (am I'm not suggesting she should). I'm looking for a secure place to store the P-car for a few months during the winter in Montgomery County, north of Philly. Anyone got a space to rent or suggest secure storage rental for my car? Worst case - S4 spends a cold Philly winter outside.
Phil - you can send it down to my place in NC. I'll "store" it for you!

Seriously, have you checked into any of those storage places like U-Store or what ever they are called? That might be a relatively low cost solution. Some even have heated & cooled storage facilities. I don't know if you can store a car in the heated & cooled storage area though.
Around here, you can often find underground parking spots in condo buildings, where a unit owner doesn't have a car. They'll rent them out for peanuts, and you get the added benefit of security. Might be worth looking into.
What's wrong with keeping one of the car's outside? It's hardly cold in Philly, anyway. It should be driven regularly and having it at home will allow you do so, easily.
I was in the same boat and bought a lift... is you garage high enough for it?... The lift is the best and eactually spend more time in the garage because of it.
Unfortunately, not high enough. Otherwise would definitely go that route. Going to take Tim's advice and look into one of those self-storage places near me. At worst, I'll just leave the poor Audi out in the Philly winter, which is usually pretty mild.
Phil, I'll boot my wife's car out of the garage so that your car can spend the winter with mine. I'll make sure to make it feel at home, wrap it in a warm blanket and only take it out for donuts occasionally.
I can hang on to it in Las Vegas. I think the dry heat would be better than storage. Plus, I can take it for a "gentle" ride once in a while. I might even do it for free just because I'm like that.
