I'm also up in cottage country. But my Mustang came with me. Its going to live outside for a couple weeks, but gets regular washes. 
My sister and her family are in from Vancouver and using my other car while here so it was Mustang or walk, and I didn't want to be away from her for so long hahaha.

Not everybody owns a home/condo that has a garage. The lack of a garage shouldn't prevent someone from owning a great car. It just takes a lot more effort to care for it while it's outside. And I'm sure it's worth the effort.
I've lived in my house for 18 years, and the garage never, ever saw a car. Storage, shelving, an 8' X 2' workbench, all sorts of things in a very small space. It was a dirty, cluttered and disorganized mess.
Right after I retired in April I knew I was getting a '14 GT 'vert....didn't know when, where, or what color. But it was going to happen.
I spent a week and a half, 7 hours a day measuring, reconfiguring, stealing inches, and cleaning so that my as my yet-to-be determined Mustang could be shoe-horned into my tiny garage.
The biggest obstacle was my workbench that rested on 2 cabinets on casters. I still needed it, so I just downsized and hinged it to the passenger side wall. It folds down, and when in use it's supported by 2 heavy chains secured to the wall studs. You can see it in the picture.
My garage is hardly a thing of beauty, but when the Mustang is in it, it looks like a palace.

If I planned on staying in NJ, I'd have the garage floor acid etched and epoxied, new door and other cosmetic changes. Structurally I'm stuck with the small area though. I drive the car only in nice weather and prefer to leave the boot on and my garage allows me to leave the Mustang top-down and with a cover over it when it's not driven.
My game plan is to sell the house by April of next year and buy a condo in the Stroudsburg Pa area....with a garage, and if I'm lucky, a two car garage. Detailing a car is so much nicer when you're indoors.
