Do you use it strictly to park your vehicles, storage, vehicle maintenance, an area for your hobby, etc?

Right now it's being used as storage for all the new stuff for it. After I get done remodeling it I'll be able to park the car in it again. I haven't had a chance to see if the Denali fits yet. That'll be a fun day.

I keep the corvette and mercedes in most of the time. But if im working on one I usually take the corvette out and park what ever im working on in the garage since my tool chest is right there. I loose alot less tools and when I get pissed and throw tools they dont go as far, and when its freezing or hot as the hinges of hell out. I have a window heater/Ac unit I keep cranked.

keep my Yukon and wifes car in there, some tools and cleaning supplies. If I need to work on it, mechanical, my father-in-law has a huge building with a lift and if any other mod, our install bay.

I use it for both. I have a 3 car garage. The walls have built in storage cabinets on the main garage side and I have other storage cabinets on the 3rd car garage side. My main side holds the tahoe, the 3rd side holds my ATV and other crap, so that side is storage. Once I get my camaro, that 3rd car side will hold it and everything in there now will be moved, somewhere :think:
Also, lets get some pics of these garages!!!

Mom has a silver acadia, dad as a silver enclave. :emotions122: THe other garage has a pool table and air hocky table in the garage, and upstairs is the train room. I wish I had a space to do that with. lol. I wanted to build a seperate garage, but stupid easement laws.

Everything and anything. We don't have a attached garage. We have a huge pole barn like 30 feet from the house. Use it for storing my parents cars (Suburban, Silverado and the Cuda) Also store the boat (23ft) and camper (30 ft) in there. It also has a work shop in the back with all the tools, welders, and etc. When we have to work on a car, just pull it in and do the work. Just store all the crap we have in there. We also use it to host partys. It has 5 doors, 4 bays, and is fully heated.
We also have another pole barn that stores the snowmobiles, tractor, and other stuff that doesn't get used year round.

i use ever square inch or my 30X40 for blood, tears, oil, dirt and grime. i think if there is a single piece of clean concert in my shop it would have to be under my workbench or something.... i cant seem to ever keep it clean... as all my friends tell me a clean shop is a slow shop.. lol i like to think that is true but i guess since there isn't a day that goes by that i don't step foot in it i guess they are right...

Currently my garage is home to a friends truck that we put a new motor into. Been there for 4 months, been in this house for 4 1/2 months. None of my vehicles have even been in the garage. Luckily I got it to fire up the other night and just have to finish wiring up the fans and get the body bolted back together.
Once its out of the garage and he cleans up his mess and finds all my tools it will more than likely be housing the g/f's 01 Type S Acura. Few months past that it will be home to my next project.

I've got a three car garage with attic storage. I've got the compressor plumbed to a reel hanging from the ceiling along with water and extension cord. The floor is roughed in travertine. Walls and ceilings sheetrocked and painted. One wall holds all my beer signs and other interesting signs. Another wall has the wakeboards, bike, waterski, and other boat stuff. Also have a work bench, which currently is holding my third row seats. My 08 Yuk, wifey's Lexus, and my FJ62 all sleep inside. The boat is in the RV parking spot on the side of the house. I need one more spot still.

right now mine houses the 86 IROC, a whole bunch of crap for the house remodel, 16 foot work bench, both rolling tool chests, ton of storage, atleast 2 sets of rims and tires, grill, all the yard tools, and random crap that hasn't been put up/gotten rid of.
its 800sq. ft. right now, this spring it's growing (hopefully double) and getting a 10'x10' door for the tahoe. (finally)
almost done putting together all the tool storage cabinets for above the bench that match the rolling chests... 11 all together, 40 bolts ea... all day project...

some antique furniture, a bunch of stuff that belongs to my wife's friend (ugly divorce), and right now tools everywhere... i'm reorganizing my tool box. once that is done I'll put one of the cars there... maybe both. I don't think the Tahoe will fit Height wise.
My Tahoe sits in it when I'm home.
It's also used for lawnmower and ammunition storage.
I need to set up a small work bench, for my gunsmithing.
If I need to work on my truck, I take it to work: A 24,000 sq.ft aircraft hangar with all my (normal) tools in it.

I use it primarily to store my 2 cars with a few shelves in it for storage. I don't have the largest 2 car garage so storage is minimal. Bikes hang from the ceiling to save space and the "beer fridge" that gets someone borrowed by the wife is all the way in the corner.

Mine is a wood working shop until I build a shop out back. Any working on the truck and car is done at my Body Shop which is 5 minutes from my house. I would really like to park my cars in the garage though.

I have a two car garage. It houses the wife's car, the yard stuff and my beer fridge. The kids bikes are in there and my tools. My truck is way to tall to fit right now.

2 car garage...
I finally got the garage door adjusted so the Hoe's roof rack will clear the door, so it gets parked in Stall #2 right in front of the Garage TV.
Stall #1 has bicycles, the rocking and folding chairs, but as it sits right in front of the washer and dryer and would be a PITA if the Hoe were there.
When We have Saturday/Sunday Football I pull the Hoe out and we move the chairs etc infront of the TV so we can all kick back and watch TV.

25x25 two car, beer fridge, work benches, toolboxes, storage cabinets, kids bikes in the summer, '85 t-top Mustang in put back together mode, and the Yukon, it all fits because it's fairly well organized. I even have a TV to keep up with sports while I'm pullin' wrenches.
Most important since i live in Canada it's heated so i can hang out in the winter as well!!!!:rocking:

Right now mine is home to my K5 and the other half is a work shop for house projects currently underway. I also have a large cabinet in there for storage. Usually though the garage is simply for my cars: the K5 and the Tahoe, and some storage. Once the projects are done it will go back to that.

My two car garage is basically my shop. I built my current racecar, including bending/welding up the 10 point rollcage, built the forged LS engine, ported my cylinder heads, assembled the ford 9" thirdmembers, and a part-time business rebuilding 6speed T56 transmssions.
The only thing I won't touch is body/paint work. Everything else is gravy... :)

Anything and everything that comes with owning a home and 2 cars, including extensive maintenance on both. Oh, and lots of very organized storage. The Tahoe is not allowed in the garage. It's too big length wise.
