After a few garbage dump trips and throwing away a bunch of stuff we don’t really need anymore...

We got the Nimitz (hehe farscythe) and the C-Class in the garage. There is enough room to get in and out of both cars and there is so me room to move them closer to the walls, once we get used parking them in there.

Totally worth it to piss off the neighbor if  it’s the one who whines about street parked cars.

Mine looks like that. In the sense that there is barely room to get in and out of the car.

Difference is that the reason it’s hard to get in and out is because mine is so packed with shit though...

I like how you parked them so the driver’s doors are on the inside. I see you like to live dangerously!

yep... thats the one..

one of them called the cops last week coz somebody partially blocked my driveway... apparently they cant get out of their driveway without cutting across mine (never mind that i live in a roundtrip street.... he/she coulda just turned the other direction and still have ended up on the mainstreet)

clearly... on top of being nimbys... they also cant drive

I think owning something like this in most of Europe would be silly, funny but silly. Now that I think about it, that could be a pretty Grand Tour or Top Gear challenge, here are these brand new American full-size trucks, drive through this village, best of luck.

Sidenote: I am pretty the Nimitz is shorter than my old Lincoln, it’s definitely wider but probably shorter .

I would never ever ever park next to my wife’s drivers door.

That’s how ours was, there were quite a few “do we really need this,” discussions taking place in the garage over the last few weeks.

Who would’ve thought giving into probably the worst example of American Consumerism would cause us to minimize our  possessions .

oh yeah.. it would be a nightmare here in most places

but me neighbours reaction would be priceless (maybe i should just rent something like it for a week or so just to wind them up)

God I’m spoiled. Our attached garage is something like 30ft deep and 22ft wide. I can park the Corvette and the Matrix two deep with enough space to walk between them.

I was debating the best way to park them, this seemed like it would work the best. W ith the mirrors folded in and both cars parked all the way to the walls, i t would be almost impossible to get in them any other way.

I actually saw a few 4 door rams in Rome. I couldn't imagine driving it around there plus the cost. Yikes

When we finally buy another house a huge garage is going to be 2nd on my want list, right after no HOA.

Yeah I’ve been working on the “ do we need this” on a couple of huge boxes in there already, and I’ve told her that I need to clean it out one of these weekends.

Ours is 3 cars, and between my two cars is a wall consisting of a 2 stage snowblower, lawn mower, wheelbarrow and miscellaneous boxes - so tight you can’t open doors to either car on that side. And now I’ve started putting a few things on the trunk of the BMW...

This is why we have his and her Garages. She gets the attached 1 car and a 250sqft “She Shed” for all her junk and I get the 25' x40' detached garage. This may seem skewed in my favor until it snows two feet overnight and her car is warm and dry and I have to shovel snow to get to my shop and my car is 0 degrees Fahrenheit ( freedom units ) inside...

It’s really nice...my only complaint, well more of an annoyance, about the house we bought is that there is no driveway to the detached garage and the only access is by driving through the backyard

I would love your set up, despite living just outside of Chicago!
