Is there a Car in your garage?

[SniperHF]

This isn't really a topic about cars per se but do you actually keep your car in a garage or is your garage filled with junk ?

I have 2 cars in my 2 car garage, but my neighbor has 2 cars in the driveway and a entertainment room setup in his garage.... I don't see the point of that myself, but it's his garage.

Only 2 houses on my court without a garage. Mine and my neighbors. The extra bedroom is handy, but when it gets cold, rainy/snowy I have nowhere to work

I rented my garage to a guy that did drywall and plaster for a living, then he went AWOL and left my garage full of trash and ancient equipment/materials. I spent many many hours getting it cleaned out earlier this year

Now my 64 Malibu sits safely inside. Just had a new door/motor put on the garage as well. The garage is detached and isn't heated, but it keeps the old gal safe from the weather

My wife & I have barely enough room in our garage space to park our two cars. Forces us to be prudent in junking it up. Also forces us to be diligent in sticking to our assigned footprints & alignments on the floor pad. Otherwise we can find ourselves stuck in our cars or unable to open the access door to the house or unable to close the overhead door. First-world problems all around.

no

the garage is for storage

I currently reside in an area with a high cost of living (median home in this town sells for approximately $1M US) and limited space. Homes without garages such as mine are extremely common. The newer homes all have them, but the newer homes all cost seven figures, so c'est la vie.

2 cars in the garage. Mine and the wife’s. I’ve got room in the driveway for about 5 more, so the collection may grow in a few years

I’ve got a side-loader garage in a track-home in a suburb near Phoenix. Not a big garage. My wife has an ‘18 Santa Fe and I have an ‘18 G80. Both fit in a squeeze just tight enough for us to load kids into car seats in both cars while in the garage (though not in both cars at once - haha) Storage has to be up to on racks and along the walls on shelves or we’d never fit the cars in.

I know that feel. 360 camera is essential. Lol.

We moved into our current suburban home in Sept. 2018, and I bought a new car in June 2019. It was the first time that "Overall Length" was the #1 criterion on my new vehicle shopping checklist.

My G80 is 196.5” long. Pretty darn long for a sedan. I can still just barely squeeze behind it to get to the beer fridge in the garage without opening the garage door.

Some people are "closet drinkers"; you're a "garage drinker." Keep that door closed, or the neighbors will talk.

Every time I just barely squeeze by to drink a beer it gets just that much harder to squeeze by. Lol.

There's shelves of bobbleheads in the garage that I don't want to display in the basement including many of the former Nats (Harper / Rendon / etc)

I only move the car in if someone is going to use the driveway (i.e. repairman van)

 

[triggrman]

We use it mainly if were doing something to the car like cleaning out the interior or polishing. Son works on his truck a lot in there too. If it's really cold the wife uses it. Rarely are both cars in there though.

This year I rode my bike more than the car so the garage belonges to the bike and stuff to clean and fix it, but it's about time to switch for the cold days.

One car, ~2000 sq ft of flooring, and various tools. The out building has a bunch of junk in it, building supplies, etc.

The previous owners of my house had a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado parked in the garage that took up the entire floor space front to back. But, they built a two-tier storage shelf that is quite deep and they stored all their stuff up there. I park my Corvette in the garage which isn't quite as long or wide and it enabled me to use the floor space under the shelving system they built. I was able to add a workbench and my tool chest. I am very weary about letting the junk pile up. If there wasn't a car in the garage she would have the garage packed with all her needless shit. I can park 3 cars in my driveway, and I just added a parking pad on my property just to have in case I get the urge to make another purchase.

I was toying with the idea of turning the garage into a home gym, but I realized that once the car was out of the garage I would lose control of the situation and decided to go a different route.

I'm silly enough to live in an apartment building, so no garage. I do have underground parking, though.

 

[SoupNazi]

No cars in my garage.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Garage? Do I look like I'm worth millions? [/LA]


****ing street parking. Dents, chipped paint, hard sprinkler water, tickets that cost half of what my rent was in Montana...

 

[Canes]

Our house was built before garages were popular so no car(s) in my nonexistent garage.

 

[pvr]

Three car garage at the main house. All spaces used.

Have slatwall covering the walls. Infinitely configurable. Everything gets a place. Gardening equipment and tools, tons of fishing gear, all manner of sports equipment, bins for pucks and balls, automotive stuff on shelving, bikes and gear hanging, etc... I’ll never have another garage without it. Also have cabinets/lockers and drawers with a desk area.

 

[John Price]

There will be tomorrow but there's a lot of boxes in it

Figure with the storm coming the car is best in the garage so I don't have to shovel anything off
