Then consider getting yourself something that won’t bother you to park outside like a small pickup. Everybody knows they come in handy around the house. I had to move my 2013 Tundra outdoors after building a garage to accommodate him and the LS. I know he was pissed after being spoiled for 5 years. Didn’t have a choice tho, because I had to make room for the the LC.

so... either swap vehicles with her when you want to go jetski, or you know

any land for a shed / out building? i have an old golf cart i use to maintain my place (pick up branches that fall of trees mostly!), and that was taking up my 3rd spot in the garage until recently i bought an 8x16' custom shed. now the golf cart's in there, and i keep 3 vehicles in the garage. works out great.
No shed.....no additional parking for a trailer, etc. Also, no interest in having any vehicle left outside in the AZ sun. I can count one vehicle on my entire street that is parked in the driveway.....this is the kind of neighborhood where people don't like looking at cars in driveways, I guess. haha

Was originally just gonna add something like a Ferrari 458 to the garage with my old Lexus DD.....decided to just get one car total....hence why I started looking for a California T......ended up in an LC.....simplifying things.

Take the suv, no brainer. So what if she works 5 days a week. That’s still 2 days you can tow a jet ski. Or else go rent a storage shed/garage to park all this stuff. I’m pretty sure this whole group of lc owners are all ball’in so I doubt the solution here is to tow a jet ski with an LC.
I looked into this last week.....Marina wet slips and dry storage AT the marina have 3-year wait here.....and are $400-600/month.

Boat storage here.....enclosed, 20 miles from the lake and a few mins from my house is also $600/month.

GF is not driving my LC....she refuses as she hasn't driven a car since high school--only SUVs. and one of her hospitals is 40 mins each way.....no interest in that mileage on my LC.

3-year waitlist on wet slip/dry stack here......

We rented a little Yamaha boat 2 weeks ago....hence why I wanna buy one. It was only $600 for an 8-hour day.....used about $70 in fuel. It was a helluva deal, to be honest. We might just have to do this.

She will not drive my LC.....see above.

I'm not going to tow with my LC....period.

Also, if I went the singe WaveRunner option it would be me by myself during the week in the mornings heading out....which is the only reason I asked about towing capacity for my LC.

Dude just rent the storage shed close to your house so you can throw in a truck / jet ski / trailer

marnia slip rentals are usually insane. In Vancouver we are paying > 2k a month for some of these prime slips downtown on a less than 40foot yacht.
