Default For cars or storage?

What do you use your garage for? I personally think I would like to have both our cars in there as well as some of our stuff. I love garages that have enough room for everything

I only use a garage for cars. If I used it for storage, it would get messy very fast and the cars wouldn't fit.

We use our garage for a little bit of both. We keep one car in the garage, and the other one in the driveway. The other half of the garage is used for storage. I admire people who are organized enough to keep all of their cars in their garage, but I don't see myself getting to that point.

If I lived in a climate still that had snow, I'd use the garage for the car so I don't have to scrape the windows so much. But here in the heat, I just use it for storage. It makes for less clutter in my place.

I always put my car in my garage. The best way to make it last forever is to keep it in there. As for storage, I have a shed, and if it starts to over flow I know it is time to get rid of some stuff.

Back home the only vehicle that we kept in the garage was my dads precious Harley. My old piece of junk car didn't even get a spot in the driveway. I had to park in the yard. Where I am living now (on a military base) I don't have the luxury of a garage (or a car for that matter). When I get out of here in 2 months I might get a car at my next duty station, but a garage is pretty much out of the picture.

Neither, it's used to fix tractors and to build wood crafts right now. OK the second level of the garage (which is a 2 story barn) is for storage and it's where the game room is (pool table, card table, etc.) We are in the process of building a new garage that will house the cars.

If I had one, it would be converted to living space. Our house just isn't really big enough for the quantity of people in it. Part of it would probably be storage, also, but mostly it would be more room.

That is a good idea Maximum speed, I've seen people convert their garages into bedrooms. I've even seen some "man caves" - you know card tables, TVs, mini fridges.

I agree with others in this topic. I used to leave it for storage but it just became a mess. When I had new items, it was just throw it in the garage. Became a total mess.
