Sharing a garage

[opensesame]

How is that a troll comment? I park my Mustang outside every day and every night. What's remotely trollish about that?

EDITED TO ADD: And when I do park it in a garage, that doesn't really keep it any cleaner...

This dude is the biggest troll on this board. Why do you guys even answer him?

it's fun to troll him back and aggravate him

seriously though, those wheels look like they came off an old lady's car.

Yeah, salt trucks in the wintertime are not helpful in keeping a car clean.

We have not seen snow in 2 weeks, but the salt is still lingering. i drive an already ugly Chevy Truck in the winter. I gotta take Elvira out and play before i go crazy.

Yep, park on the right as has been suggested several times. That's what I do as well. OP hasn't commented in the thread at all. I'm curious why switching sides wasn't an obvious solution.

Stay in your exact same spots... and you start backing into the garage... it will make it so your right side of your car can get as close to the wall as possible and leaves so much room in the middle.

Also... so much easier to leave the next time you get in ;)

This is what I've been doing for the past 24 years.

Our 1st 2-car garage was a simple 2 car detached (guessing 20 x 20) so it really helped parking this way. Knocked that down in 2001 and put up a 24 x 48 attached garage but we stayed with a single 16' door which is offset to the right and entrance to the house on the right.

Anyway, having both drivers doors open to the center makes life so much easier.

Of course, no one else in my family (wife or any of our 3 sons) is comfortable backing their vehicle into the garage on the left and if for some reason my wife and I switched cars for the day she will leave my car in the driveway for me to back in the garage which is always fine by me !!

I even back my '69 Mustang in behind my DD Mustang which makes it easy to get out and back in without moving the DD. Even if there is a car in the back right spot, I can still get my '69 out & back in without moving anything.

I kicked my wife out of the garage. She was not happy about it but i need room for my two Mustangs and my motorcycle. She claims we just need a bigger house with a 4 car garage. I am liking this idea.

Trust me, I don't get aggravated.

And if you mean the wheels on my car, they were literally the very cheapest wheels I could get from Tirerack that would fit over the non-PP GT brakes. Those snow tires were $209 each and the wheels were $132 each.

ah didnt even realize those were non oem wheels. they dont look too bad for a winter set

Otherwise you could back in, which would allow you to get even closer to the wall because you don't have to open the passenger door in the garage.

What I do. Then it doesn't matter how far either of the doors in the middle are opened, they're no where near close to touching the other car. Also easier to get in and out of mine that way as well.

Yeah, they're not bad, although I like the OEM wheels better:

Sounds like divorce is the best solution.

+1 :first:

Or just switch sides. If she won't switch sides and can't be trusted to not ding up your car, well...stuff like that just makes me happy all over again to be a divorcee.

That's a pretty standard Ferrari combination. You can see the Ferrari logo reflected in the other car.
