Driveway vs Garage Owners

I like working on my cars/bikes indoors so the house I bought had to have a double garage.

Although it was never a priority when house shopping last year, I bought a house with a garage and I am happy I did. I never did understand why people have garages and don't use them to park cars inside, most people in my neighborhood park in their driveways instead of the garage.

It is so nice to be able to get in the Z in the morning without having to de-ice the windshield and windows, worry about hail, a tree falling on it, etc. It's also very nice knowing that it is relatively safe from vandals and thieves (not that I live in a bad neighborhood, but a nice car parked out in the open is always a target). An added benefit is that my car stays cleaner longer by not being outside all the time.

I agree w/you 100%. It helps a lot when its raining too.

Two car integral garage at home was not enough. I had one built at my office, too. Now my Z is undercover 24/7, except for limited highway time (5000 mi./yr.). I sleep well and so does she...
