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:

From engine pulls, head rebuilding, tranny swapping, and everything else automotive related, to painting, to storage for my AWD Laser, to airbrushing, to general fix-it projects!:buffer::artist1::sawzall:

Park cars in, store stuff, hang out in, work on stuff in, etc. I also have a 2 story shed but it's getting kind of ****** so not sure what I am going to about that.

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... :)
