So how many of us are lucky enough...

So how many of us are lucky enough to have a garage to park in at home and a garage to park in at work?

Well not me.

My condo has no garage, my workplace doesn't and neither does my wife's work place. Our vehicles are outside basically 24/7. It can be a real job keeping them clean.

I hope to one day be at a point in my career where I can accept or decline a job offer based on if the company has covered parking.

I am not there yet though!

Im also a condo dweller! No garage, well its 3 sided and shared with 3 other cars......So the cleanest gets priority parking.

No garage here, heck not even a paved driveway to work on. Anytime I want to do any "real" detailing I have to move some cars and pull it into the back yard, just to have some shade! When I get to the point where we start looking at a house, a garage is the only priority for me (not really, but what I look forward to the most).

Well, I'm an apartment dweller but fortunate enough to have a decent garage to park (and detail) in. Here's a quick shot of "my side" of the garage--two tenants share one garage, each side with decent parking / working room and then the common area behind the cars moving back towards a single-car overhead door. (The door next to the car is a separate locked storage area).

The down side is that I'm the "Fallout King" at work--outside, under the flight path for Charlotte-Douglas International, near major rail lines, and nestled in-between two interstates and a major US highway!

Hey, at least I do have the garage to come back to at home--and a wash area down by one of the apartment buildings!

Apartment dweller here but my garage is $90 a month extra. Yikes. However, at work, no garage.

I'm one of 'em. Car is garaged at home and at work.

I'm one of them too. I have a double garage which is long enough for the cars with my HD is parked at right angles to the shorter car, space for workbench and walkway. It is squeezy widthwise though.

At work I park in a multistory parking complex which is open to Public parking. there are no allocated spots and I alway seek out a spot which is super wide or has no other spot alongside to avoid the potential for door dings.

I have a 7 bay garage/workshop at home, with hoist and every tool and air tool known to man it seems.

Basically if you can't find the tool your looking for in my Dad's shedding, it doesn't exist

I would give my left one for a set-up like that

Its a pretty cool setup, it cost my parent $80K on top of our house to build, once it was concreted, and had air-lines ran everywhere.

I unfortunately am without a garage also. I have a townhouse with two spaces out front that I must fight my neighbors for. Its horrible, and I look in disgust at those who have garages yet use them to only store things in while their car is outside, its a shame.

I built an attached 1135 sq ft garage on my new house, but park outside at work.
