   Nope, it sits outside 24/7.  Passenger side is shaded.  No idea what the   
   former owner did with it.

   I don't actually think about it being 9 years old.  It's the newest car    
   (age, not birth-year) I've ever owned.  Other cars have had 'issues' but   
   this tire thing is the only one the Corolla seems to have.  The interior   
   could be designed better (like TURN THE GODDAM SPEEDOMETER ETC. LIGHTS    
   ON ALL THE TIME, not just when the headlights are on, and make the seat    
   rise higher -- not everyone is six feet tall!) but I can live with it.
