I read this morning that the majority of amercian home owners wonders only use their garages for storage (not cars).
Foofie, this thread has nothing to do with ethnic easterners, jews, euro-centristis, Israel or kosher pickles.
@dyslexia,
what's a garge?
(and i love kosher pickles dammit)
I don't park in mine unless there is hail.
it is a workspace.
yes dickhead, I don't proofread. anyway, in addition, I was watching the telly last night (one of those Buying my first house shows) and the buyers were looking at a house they liked EXCEPT the garage was too small and would need to be replaced, the realtor explained that the house was built in the 1950's when garages were just used for parking cars, not like modern houses.
I'm thinking modern america is based of the premise that success means having so much stuff that one needs a over-sized garage as proof of their success in life.
If a garage denotes success, I am an abject failure. I park beneath the trees (and pay for it in globs of resin).
@dyslexia,
(know a guy used to wear penis nose glasses, does that count?)
we don't much do success where i live, that's over closer to town.
know what you are sayin' though.
I like the big tall single next to a double, so the RV has a comfy spot.
My dad's garage is the neighbourhood workshop. He's got table saws, a welder, wood, some of it's even new. Cabinets filled with SORTED nails, screws, bolts, thingamajigs, used parts for washer'n'dryers, lawn mowers and tap handles. There are cans of paint, hacksaws, ramps, ropes, and right in the middle, is where he parks his car, but unless you hit the hanging tennis ball just right, you can't open the doors. He's even partitioned the attic space into different work areas, one for plumbing, one for lighting, bicycle repair, camping storage... it goes on. I pity the fool who has to clean it out one day.
Both my car and my husbands' car remain in the driveway. Our garage is the storage, workshop and exercise room.
I am looking forward to a garage. Not for my car. But for my extra room. Padding, carpet and a little insulation. Voila. Spare 'living' room

With such attire, shouldn't it be
does that ****?
@Francis,
you better hope lady diane don't see this thread...
(gals find that word dyscomforting)
'course garge could pass for slang...
@Rockhead,
The girls will pardon my French..
@Francis,
prolly so.
it's that sexy ear thing you got going on, most likely...
I have a 2 car garage..but only one car in it. The other has some old couches that ex didn't take with him. I'm finding it's a good extra play space for the kitties. Of course I don't discourage them from sharpening their claws on them.
@mm25075,
Car........ in garage........
nah
never ever ever ever ever...
@dyslexia,
The porpoise is in the use.

Sounds great. Throw a pool/ping pong table down there and a frig and it's Party Central.
@eoe,
I gotta ping pong table in mine
and a fridge!
now........ for the party...
No garages here in our townhouse complex. Not even a carport. Just open air parking.
I would agree though that most do use their garage for something other than the parking of a car. I guess folks always like / need a little extra room.
