Even my truck gets its own spot in the garage.

I've never understood why people use their garages to store boxes of worthless crap they will never use, and leave their expensive cars out in the elements.

Even in an apartment as I am now, both cars and bikes have a space in the garage! Saves them from the horrors of apartment lot parking!
Now if only I could get them to allow the installation of a AC unit, I could actually work on them in this lovely Houston heat!

huge diff when a car is in the garage vs outside... mine is always in, though space is running out quickly.

Overnight it's in the garage. However, when I bought it in 2007 my other home only had a 1 car garage, filled with skateboards, bicycles, and motorcycles. So....I usually parked it in the driveway. The first winter we had a huge snow storm and the pcar was buried in the driveway under snow and a thick blanket of ice. That day my wife called me at work and told me that the police were at the house and wanted to know who owned the Porsche (so my mind starts running with what the hell???) then she tells me that she said it was her husbands and the cop asks if I am home, (now my head is really spinning) when she says no, he is at work, the cop points to the Porsche and says, "well, when he gets home tell him THAT's a crime". Great sense of humor.

Affirmative. Initially my old garage was fllled with interior doors, fireplace mantels, molding, sinks etc. while we were renovating our 1890 home in 2008. Now my Porsche is living in the garage.

My first 3 years I didn't have a garage however during the last 4 years she's been fortunate to have a garage life at home and at work.

Yes in the garage. I would keep it in my bedroom if I could!
