Where is the best place to let the car during the winter?

Hey I have 2 choice of location to put my car during the winter......the 2 places are ventilated, and there is one with some cement and the other with those little rocks if I can call it gravel in english....!
Where to let it during the hole winter? And why?

I found the location with gravel less wet then the cement location...but maybe it is my mind!!!
Let me know what you guys think!!

I dunno if this will mean anything, but a gravel surface will be warmer than a cement surface because of heat from the ground.

if ur going to drive a beater during the winter. u wanna take off the ur aftermarket rims because it might i said might dent ur rims because its been in one position for awhile. so putting on ur oem rims is safer.

I'll put my car on 4 blocks so I'll let the aftermarket rims on...! Just to be sure that the suspension won't be too low when I'll take it next summer [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
