I had a 71 years ago I kept in a storage unit. The guy next to me had a mobile oil change business. He had two 300 gallon tanks of oil. He made me nervous. I left and brought the car home and a month later the building burnt down. Keeping a car in one of those places is a risk IMO

$20K damage? Better hope that the Corvette is insured.
