5mins? Dayum! That's close! If I walk, it'll take me 35mins to get there (13mins drive).

Maybe I should park in your place lol

Unless your job requires you to drive a 53 footer Mack truck, then yea it'll fit just fine.

Now you made me curious so I did some math. If we park em in a perfect grid, and elevate one on the lift, then in theory we could fit around 18 frs/brz in my empty shop.

Yep, K's garage is filled with "boxes" so he can't take a picture.

And there is not a hope that I actually read all of it and noticed that it was 3 years old and already proven to be crap.

My least favorite thing is that it's obviously an attempt at a content aggregator site with top 10 listicles. Buzzfeed and all of the other content "aggregators" do this all of the time. Since these articles are really just marketing exercises, there's no element of timeliness or a standard editorial point of view - they could just as easily republish the list in a different order in a couple of weeks as "Top 9 reasons," or "5 Things," etc...

They choose their content based on marketing parameters - so for instance, we have a listicle on Toyota. It's then easy to sell advertising for Toyota ads, or car parts, because people who are inclined to read an article about Toyota are either Toyota owners, or interested in Toyota.

Top it all off with the most pandering article titles, and you'll understand why I never use Facebook. "You won't believe these 10 things about Toyota!"
"She Bought a Toyota. You won't believe what happens next."

tl;dr: baiters gonna bait.
