No kidding, you guys are wimps. I've never had a garage to workon/store
my cars in and you don't see me complaining do you.

Yes, I have an idea. Why don't you widen your garage work pit a few feet
and fill it with a mixture of WD-40 and Castrol 20-50. Simply drive
Kermit into the pit for winter storage.
No really, I have an idea. I assume you have some type of car cover
fitted. Would it be possible to place a low wattage light bulb
underneath the car during the periods you expect to generate
condensation? This would radiate heat to the undercarriage and perhaps
by varying the wattage of the bulb you could eliminate this problem
without spending too much money. The car cover would act as an
insulator to the floor.
Of course, this is my first idea. Further refinements will be
charged to your bill.
