Where Do Your Cars Live?

aka WayTooFurious

Being the owner of three cars, I consider my rides’ accommodations to be an important part of their ongoing maintenance. Like most people who hold down a regular job, I can only ever dream of owning a garage that someone like Jay Leno has. However, the absence of fabulous wealth shouldn’t prevent you from building a nice home for that special member of your family. A couple of years ago I actually built a garage especially for my Dodge Charger and its restoration. Lacking the space to go sideways in my backyard, I opted to go up instead, building a two-story garage with room for the Charger, a small workshop downstairs, and a larger workshop upstairs. It worked out great, despite the death threats from my neighbours, ’til I actually surprised myself by running out of space! I have since moved onto greener pastures, and have now built a new two-car garage with workshop at my new housethough I’ve already decided to expand it into a three-car garage with a separate workshop. What’s your car quarters of choice? Are you as crazy about building homes for your cars as I am?

better have a great selection of cars to make a museum… would have to be Leno-esque to guarantee success.

My Spirit R/T has the garage and my daily driver TBI Spirit sleeps out on the gravel driveway(no, I didn’t punish it for being slow or leaking oil. I just don’t got the space in the garage.) As for getting more rides, I got it all figured out maybe. I think this is what Jay does. I’d start a car museum and have people pay to see the inside of my garage. I will have controlling interest in the museum, but will hire a qualified staff to take care of the day to day. All the cars will be registered and insured with my museum(it’s cheaper that way). If I wanna take a car out for a drive, who’s to stop me? I’ll still have ownership over my corporation, so technically even though the museum owns my entire collection, I own the museum, but if I were sued, the museum would be charged in court not me. Yep, that’s how I’d amass 100cars or more.

unfortunately… my 2-car driveway, but it could be worse. The driveway is lined with trees, but no branches directly above. The cars stay cool all day all summer long. It’s about as good as driveways get.

My car lives in my Two car garage attached to my garage.
