Do You Use Your Garage...

[FOJMO]

for your CAR(s)???

Or is it just a catchall for your junk collection?

Hey, have you seen my garage! No peeking!

Ha! cleaning my garage so I could actually park in it has been my goals since I was born! (well it seems that long!)
I have a goal to be able to get one car in there before hurrican season starts!

I asked this cause our subdivision looks like a parking lot sometimes! Almost no one uses their garage for their car(s) and everyone is parked in their driveway and on the street. It's very hard to see children playing because of the parked cars and they dart out from in between them and it's very scary!

We always park our two in the garage (back them in) and our DD has her small car in our driveway.

My good size 2 car garage is full of stuff -- mostly daycare/toys. We tried to clear it in the fall to get at least my van in there, but it didn't happen.

Although, when we drove down to WDW in December, we were able to move things around enough to get DH's civic in there. The neighbors were stumped -- didn't know where it went because it's always a fixture on the driveway. Kept them guessing.

Someday, when my own children are older and don't play with toys anymore, we will have less for my daycare. Then the cars will be in the garage. At least that's the plan.

We get one car in!! The other side has all that other "stuff" and it seems to keep growing. Ugh, gotta straighten it up a bunch. I know on our street I don't think anyone has BOTH cars in their garage. Most seem to have NO cars in their garage! :O

My car goes into the garage. DH's truck is in the driveway because it's too long for our garage. We don't have junk in the garage just outdoor stuff, tools, car stuff, things like that.

We use our garage for one of our cars (and assorted "stuff" ). It's technically a two-car garage, but it would require a shoe horn to get two cars in it, even without any junk in it, so my car sits on the driveway.

We have a 2 1/2 car garage which currently houses two cars, two motorcycles and outside tools, i.e. lawn mower, fertlizer spreader, etc. It also has lawn chairs, Christmas decorations (on a shelf built above the motorcycles) and various other tools. Stephen is very particular about parking the cars (and motorcycles) inside, and having a clean garage. It's never clean enough for him. So, yes, we use our garage to park cars.

Not a chance!!

We only have a one car garage and DH uses it for his pride & joy--his boat! Also, we have an extra fridge, our washer & dryer and assorted other junk in there.

Our garage is storage for the moment. It also houses our extra refridgerator. Some day I hope to have my car in it.

We have a two car garage that houses my van and our trailer with my DH's truck in the driveway. Luckily during our major snowstorm our popup was at the dealers for repairs so my DH's truck was in the garage. Of course we do have a lot of other junk in there which we are always planning to get rid of.

We have a 1 car garage. We have had the car in there, mostly during the winter. Once the warm weather comes and we need to get out all the outside toys, and we start doing work in the yard again, theres too much junk in there for a car.

SOmetimes I think I am the only one on our block who uses the garage for the car!

Our 2-car garage holds my car and tons of junk. DH's car sits in the driveway.

I've noticed around here that people with driveways that go down around the back of the house NEVER use their garages - they always keep one car at the top of the driveway and one in the street.

Both cars are always in the garage. My husband is the king of storage and organization. You would be amazed at the stuff he is able to fit into the garage along with the cars.

DW's Honda Accord & my Chevy Silverado sit snugly in our two-car garage every night. We also have yard tools, etc. hung on the wall & the lawnmower parked next to the car. Our neighborhood is about half & half. We have some friends we make fun of(nicely) whose garage doubles as a "haunted mansion" at Halloween.

It is a two car garage, but there is only room for one, because of the junk in it.

 

[Wishydoo]

We use the new garage for car, and there is the old original garage behind the house that we call "the shed"...that's where the junk is.

We have an oversized 2-car garage that houses none of our three cars (hubby has a "toy"). But it houses all of my husband's wordworking tools beautifully. And in a pinch (major hurricane bearing down) we can rearrange to fit 2 of the three cars.

We have a one car garage. We do store a lot of yard stuff in there, but we make sure there is enough for one of our cars as well. Most of our stuff is stored is in our basement though.
