I now have a 3 car garage!
I have four cars at my house and I live alone. Is that nuts or what? I ,of course, have the S2 that isn't going to sit outside, The 92 Maxima daily driver I just bought, a 97 Golf that my son bought, and a 96 Dodge Stratus which is a company car that I use for work. So actually only two of the cars are mine.
The VW Golf needs a new tranny. It will be a month or two before I'll get around to fixing it and I was tired of having it sit in my driveway blocking the 944. I did some measuring and figured out that I could cram 3 cars in a 24' x 24' two car garage (The Dodge can stay outside).
I built some dollies for a total cost of around $50 and got the car sideways in the back corner. Plenty of room for the other cars. Each caster is supposed to hold 200 lbs. So 4 at each wheel should be plenty strong enough for a VW Golf.
I also proved a theory I have. I think Porsches get jealous of other cars. I haven't driven the 944 in a few weeks since I've been working on the Nissan. The 944 had an oil leak but no other problems. Today when I backed it out of the garage it vomited ALL of it's power steering fluid all over the driveway. It just isn't happy unless I pay attention to it.

Todamax, nice to see you!
Your Max looks a lot better than mine. How's the 944?

The p-car is doing well. Hatch back on, and for the moment water tight. Idling a bit low and I haven't looked into that yet, but all in all nothing has broken for a week or so.
