My answer: probably my same four cars now, because this house costs $679,000! So I’d be foreclosed on within 5 years and wouldn’t have much funds for new vehicles during the downward spiral into financial ruin anyway.

:D

Yeah but if you could afford a house with a 4 car garage you would garage your current 4 cars and have 4 more parked in the driveway. If I were to guess; a corolla wagon, a paseo, a t100 and a Lexus SC400

The bicycles get one spot. Then, the wife’s minivan, a little convertible like a Miata or a Fiata, and then a sweet luxury GT car. That would cover most of my moods.

Anyway.

That thing is only $679,000?! In the Bay Area, it would easily be a few million, at first estimate, probably three to four on today’s market.

This is a $660,000 Bay Area home:

Probably why my parents really don’t want to leave here considering that trying to come back would be astronomically expensive.

Yes you could. You might not be able to have four cars to fill the garage with, however.

You might be able to fit two deep in the RV spot, or put a lift in there and stack ‘em.

What I am saying is that you don’t have enough cars.

Assuming I have the kind of income that allows me to afford that house, I think I’d get a single-cab 4WD manual RAM 2500, a Challenger V8 (but probably not a Hellcat because I don’t want to immediately wrap it around a tree), a Ford Flex for my partner (he likes them), and probably keep the 4th spot open for a succession of random project cars/toys.

My ex had a house on a corner lot that started out as a 3 bed, with a detached two car garage. A previous owner knocked down some walls and made it a more spacious 2 bed. Then they added a second two car garage, and then filled in the space between the house and the garages to make a large family room. I would have liked to keep that place, but it was in such a crime-ridden area I would probably hated living there. My PowerBook was stolen, and if I had more electronics there I assume that they would have been ripped off as well.

What a horrible choice in materials.. The way the siding creeps up into each gable end where it transitions to the cedar shingles is very odd.
