Most neighborhoods I go to people have their cars in the driveway. Why not use the garage for the car?

  1. I don’t have one. In most cases I see people have too much stuff in their garage that they’d rather keep covered over their car. Personally, growing up without one, I’d certainly keep my car in a garage if given the option.

  2. This is anecdotal, because I don’t even have a garage right now, but my mom used to park in the driveway because every time she pulled into the garage she’d put a little dent in the wall. We tried to hang a tennis ball and even that didn’t help.

  3. I live in a small townhouse. I use my car for work, and it *barely* fits in my garage. It’s honestly not worth the hassle to pull it in every time, and squeeze past my recycling bins and other crap I have in there.

  4. We have 5 people of driving age living here (3 adult children living with parents). Each with their own car. Garage only fits 2, so the rest just have to park wherever

  5. Because it’s full with the wife’s vehicle, the kid’s stuff, and my father in laws boat….

  6. Don’t have a garage but my mum does. Her car sits in the drive because the grage is absolutely packed full of all the crap that needs to be there so her house doesn’t look cluttered.

    If I had a garage, it would 100% be a home gym / warehouse / man cave.

  7. Haven’t built it yet. I have to take down several things and move 7 tons of stones… Yeah.. I will build it this year. Im just procrastinating.

    Edit : + I don’t own a car of my own yet.

  8. The garage is usually extra storage or a workshop of some kind for most people that don’t use it for the car, assuming they don’t have the extra space elsewhere for that kind of thing (like a basement or shed).

  9. My garage is my personal gym. My two sons and there friends use as well. The trade off does not compare in the slightest. Healthy living vs covered car that will depreciate in value no matter in or out of the garage.

  10. When I had a garage, I purposely got a house with a bigger garage than I needed because I knew I’d be putting all kinds of stuff in it. I had my washer, dryer, garage heater, workout equipment, tools, all kinds of stuff. A 2.5 car garage and I barely had room for my car (well SUV).

  11. I’m in a 1942 single story ranch. My standard sized pickup would barely fit assuming there was nothing inside of the garage.

    That being said, currently, half my garage is storage. I have a boxing bag, treadmill that never gets used, four tool cabinets and a little work area set up. Also, my motorcycle is in there.

  12. Garage is for storage and I use my car everyday. Where else am I gonna put all the christmas decorations?
