Garaging your vehicle
Hot Rod Hootenanny:
I never keep the trunk open, unless I'm loading or unloading from the trunk. Be it in a garage or elsewhere.
As for windows open, I normally keep them close, unless I'm changing the oil, or tinkering with the gauges.
Though I can forget and leave the windows open after driving.
zzcarp:
I actually had my vehicle battery partially die when I left my rear tailgate open in the garage overnight. I had to have a neighbor jump me, so I try not to do that anymore.
Henry:
Common sense should tell you to keep the windows up and the trunk closed, even when the garage door is down.
As for the car fire thing, I've heard stories about electric vehicles catching fire while being charged overnight. Because of that, I've held off on buying one, and the possibility of our current cars being the last internal-combustion powered vehicles we ever own has my back to the wall. While a Tesla would be cool to own, the high cost and unproven technology have turned me against that prospect, so I intend to keep my Equinox for as long as I can.

Here in the Boston area, in many areas not only do people *not* garage their cars, instead they're used for storage (raises hand). Some of my neighbors have even turned their one-time garages into basement living areas or additional parking spaces.

That said, if I had the $$$, I would garage my vehicle.
