Tight garage spaces...

WOW! tight spot, is a storage shed an option? looks like mostly lawn care EQ.

 

Mmm, third garage bay. You should consider yourself lucky! My next house will have at leatst 3 and hopefully have a large workshop that will fit 5 or more, but for now one daily drive got th bump to the driveway...

Looks like a nice car!

 

I'll be scared to hang anything over my car or park next to something that can fall and damage the car specially here in CA. where earthquakes are prone to happen without warning.

 

I know that drill! One in the driveway, one at my folk's house, one in a barn, one in a tent. Ah well, back to dreaming the hours away looking at the Real Estate section of the latest Hemmings...

 

I didn't know Hemmings had a real estate section. I will have to take a peek at that! Oh, for the days when my wife is done school and gainfully employed!

 

+1. I have a two-bay garage and my overarching goal in life is to get a house with a bigger garage.

One side of my garage is a bit shorter, so I use those plastic parking stops and just roll the car to a stop. Always works, no drama.

No kids, no pets, so I'm the only one in that part of the garage.

One solution is to buy shorter cars so they all fit in any bay.

 

Way ahead of ya...

This pic makes it look like there's plenty of room, but I still have trouble getting out once I've parked it inside.

At least you have a 3rd garage spot! I gave that up when I moved from my condo (3 car tandem garage) to my current home (2 car garage.) My goal is to move into a house with a 3 car garage at some point. But finances don't support that anytime soon.

What I'd suggest that you purchase a car cover from California Car Cover or Big Sky Car Covers made from DuPont's NOAH fabric. That seems to absorb minor bumps without damage to paint and bodywork.

Now, if I could only put a lift in my garage, I could squeeze in a 3rd car. But I only have a 99.5" tall garage, and I have to squeeze the Mondial under a Mustang SVO. Somehow that just doesn't seem like it would work...

With the addtion of the 308, our 2 car garage is now 1 car-short... so, my poor truck is left outside (since the wife won't give up her spot - geez, can you imagine that?)

I'm working on the wife to put build a separate 3 car garage now... I have to pull the cars out anytime I want to do any wood working... or pretty much anything...

How could "Mr. Nice Guy" force his wife to build a garage? Pouring concrete, cutting studs, drywalling -- she'll be exhausted.

 

hope this helps..

Just for piece of mind I would invest in a heavily padded car cover.

 

LOL! I'm lucky if I can get her to make a microwave dinner...

 

No, you're killing me! j/k I have a super high garage (12ft+), but the garage doors aren't as high (around 9 ft). The estimate on space I'd need for a lift on the net suggested I'd never get one in. I think I could but don't want to order the thing and then not be able to fit it! Anyone have a good source to talk to about such things?

 

Wow! That IS tight! I don't think you can top that one.

 

Need help on this one

ooooo, look at that beautiful blue TR3 back there

 

Boy, a few beers and a buddy that wants to see your car.... Dont you know those little bicycles are extremely dangerous? They barely are able to stand on thier own, even a babies breath of wind, or a wrong look will knock them over. And thier like rattlesnakes, only they can reach out beyond thier own length and wreak havok. I wouldnt want those lil bastards within 20 feet! And you have shovels and rakes near the car? Man, you are brave.

I think you need a 4 post lift, that would solve 90% of your trouble. The other 10% could be solved with a for sale sign on the house and a move to a place with enough room to swing a cat.

 

Also adoption agencies are good.
