Garages, cars and other stuff

You keep your cats in a garage?!?
:eek: :stuck_out_tongue:

We have a one car garage that no car of ours has ever entered. (We have two cars.) It’s all storage: lawn mower, three bicycles, wagon, lawn and garden tools, plant pots, bags of peat moss and manure, outdoor chairs, the young one’s toys, and other random crap.

Where I used to live, a number of people have 2-car garages that they don’t use for their cars as the house is on the side of a hill and the driveway is at something like a 30% angle.

One long garage, some storage racks and a workbench take up the back 10 feet or so.

Only one car in it - probably would be none except it’s a 1966 MG Midget Mk 11 in BRG with wires. Dry weather only. In Scotland. Hence only did around 500 miles last summer. :frowning:

Two cars in a two car garage but the sides and rear are packed pretty tight with assorted crap.

Two car garage, but just one car fits. The other space is taken up by 4 motorcycles and an ATV.

Mark II, represent! Roll up fucking windows, I tells ya!
Mine is Navy Blue with wires. Had it since 1976!

4-car garage on the house, 4 cars. Detached 4 car garage out back with 2 cars, 4 bikes, and 1 lift and room for tools. The rest of my toys are in my BIL’s warehouse, 2 hours away.

Stuff goes in your basement or attic. Yard tools and equipment goes in the shed.

Cars - and motorcycles - go in the garage!

Four cars, four spaces.

2 spaces, 9 vehicles (1 car, 8 bicycles).

Three car garage holds a Subaru Forrester and a Prius. Third space holds my John Deere tractor.

The “garage”? Hey fellas, the “garage”! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man. [/Moe Szyslak]

Two car garage. Neither of us park in the garage. I think if we shuffled some stuff around, we could get one car in.

I wasn’t sure but voted 2/1. There are 3 cars, truck, RV and boat, but only one car fits in the garage. It’s big enough for two, but is in back and only one vehicle can make the right-angle turn to enter it. Boat and RV go in storage barns, and the other cars just park on the pad beyond the garage. As the queen-of-household, mizPullin gets the garage. The kids and I make do with whatever unoccupied concrete we can find.

One car in one garage, I think I’m the only person on my street who actually uses their garage for the car. Garages full of junk, Mercs, Audis, Lexus(es?) all out in the weather. I don’t get it.

The cat spends most of her day sleeping on the bonnet* I don’t drive to work so the car’s main usage is as a cat bed. I wish the insurance reflected that.

We have a 2-car garage and 2 cars, but neither of them will fit in the garage without a major reshuffling of stuff. We have a basement, an attic and a shed, but there’s still lots of stuff in the garage. One side (my side) is my workshop, with a table saw and workbench right in the middle of the floor. The other side has bikes, recycling bins, kids’ toys, and is the pedestrian access from the house to the cars in the driveway. We’re talking about adding a 3rd bay so I can expand my shop, and maybe use one of the bays for my wife’s car.

The was no option for my annoying set-up: two cars and a boat and a two-car garage. The boat gets to live in the garage and we have one car outside. Plus tons of stuff. Our stupid neighborhood association won’t let us have a shed, so all the lawnmower stuff has to got out there too.

I want a three-car garage. Our dream house would have a two-car garage in the normal position, and then a one- or two-car garage around back that you access from the basement. We saw houses like this when we were looking, but the stars didn’t align as far as availability and location, so we have this. My poor car has several bike and lawnmower dents. :mad:

Car-hole.

Two car garage, one for a car, the other for yard stuff, and other ‘storage’.

What if the Cowsills had called their song “Garages, Cars and Other Stuff”?

I saw it sitting in my garage
Oil dripping on the floor
No one seemed to care
It sat there and rusted away

No #1 hit, I’m telling you.

I use my garage for storage. I could put my car in there if I wanted to, I just feel like it’s a huge waste of space. Even in a snow storm, it’s just that much more driveway that needs to be shoveled. Cars are built to withstand the weather.

In my neighborhood there are about 5% of the households whose garages are so stuffed they can’t even walk into them, and surely don’t really know what’s in there. Another 40% are like me, using it for storage purposefully and in an organized fashion (i.e. the Summer clothes live out there during the Winter time, etc.) then theres the 40% who have a mix of car and storage, and the 5% on the other end who consider it a matter of character that nothing other than an automobile enters the garage, and move the cars out once a week to clean the floor.

Then there’s crazy guy. Crazy guy spends weeks at a time overseas for his job, and his wife and two children live here. When he comes home for a few days, he spends at least two days pulling everything out of the garage and reorganizing it. His car, the jet skis, the motorcycles, the boxes, everything comes out and he sweeps and mops the floor before wiping it all down, waxing all the vehicles and returning it to the garage in yet another new configuration.

We’ll often see his kids on folding lawn chairs watching him; presumably his wife has sent them out there so they get some time with Dad while he’s in town. Then he heads out of town again and the garage doesn’t open until his return.

That guy’s crazy.
