Too many cars, not enough garage space - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ayau · 01-10-2014, 02:13 AM

Not a fan of parking cars outside. Haven't been able to figure out a remedy for this yet besides getting a bigger garage ($$$) or selling some cars.

I'm not married and have 3 cars, lol.

1. BRZ (daily summer)
2. ITR (weekend toy/IDGAF cheap track toy)
3. Civic Hybrid (daily driver/winter beater)

Anyone else have this issue?

I'll have to snap a pic for u whenever I do it next, probably will be a while with all the snow and the wrx pulled apart currently. But I pull 2 cars in straight as I normally would, and then parallel park the third car behind those 2(perpendicular opposed to them). Had 4 cars before getting married, now have 3 myself and she has her own. Her car only gets garage space when I feel like being nice lol

Wife hates me

Get one of these.

I'm not married. I have my Summer daily driver BRZ, my Summer weekend Miata, and my do-anything-go-anywhere 2WD base model Ranger. The Ranger sits outside, which is fine. But the main reason I don't get more cars is because I wouldn't want to kick either of my two sportscars out of the garage.

not married but all 3 rides is sitting at my parent's while i'm deployed in korea.

my 09 camry. 13 frs and my 06 r6 ... getting another ride next year if i get stationed in hawaii (hopefully)

The only thing we own is a Camry... fuck you.

Haha, kidding. But I understand. Our "two car" garage will likely barely just fit the Camry and a FRZ, and that's still really tight and I'll have to rearrange my toolboxes and everything.

I have so many cars that its easier to tell you what I don't have... They're all stored in my undervolcano garage on my secret island.

First world country problems...

I'm with @Shagaliscious on installing lift(s) in your current garage. It seems that $ isn't a problem, so have at it and post pics afterwards!

BRZ and M3 shared the garage. GS-R track car sits outside. Race car sits in a different garage.

For you, leave the Civic outside. BRZ has to stay clean to sell and ITR is a theft target.

Yeah my garage has shelving units all around for storage, one car backed in, one driven forward in so doors both open in the middle and there's still shit stored between the two cars lol I need to sell some shit.
