How many of you guy's & girls use your garage
« on: November 25, 2013, 09:47:32 am »
As post say's how many of you have garages and don't put your car away. I am amazed where I live how many nice cars sit on the drive whilst there is a garage.
I personally use mine all the time, if its not being washed or used its in my garage.
Do you like to leave your pride and joy on show for it to viewed and appreciated ?.
With the amount of thefts and damages by lowlifes reported on this site it does surprise me that garages that could be used don't seem to be.
Just interested in your thoughts on this subject.

I ALWAYS use my garage. It's best for the car, so a no-brainer!

How's this for a garage?....

Don't use mine for the car as it currently contains summer garden furniture, bbq, power hose, summer tyres.... would love to have the car in there but just don't have the room for everything

I wish i could use my garage! It would be an awesome place to work on my car. Unfortunately its just FULL of junk. You can't even enter the garage through the actual door as theres so much in there. Offered to clean it out for my parents in turn for letting my have the car in there but they didn't accept.

My Corrado has the garage and my Golf the driveway. Seems the logical way of doing it.

Always try and put both cars away - especially this weather, I'm fortunate to have a double garage :ashamed:

Since fitting the old kitchen in there, the car will no longer fit (well it would but I wouldn't be able to get out, lol) --- use a car port to keep most of the weather off.

My car has never been garaged and neither was my TDI.

I never use my garage as it's far too much effort getting the car in and out.

My garage is for my motorbikes. The car is perfectly ok out in the rain and snow.

If my garage was full size - which it isn't because the previous owners built a utility room into the end of it, I still wouldn't use it as its just too small to be useful.  Its a standard size and I wouldn't want to put anything much bigger than my Pug in it, I'd never get out of the car if I tried to put my 330d coupe in it!!!
