Remember When Garages Were For Cars?

Something I've noticed more and more as I drive around the neighborhood is that everybody is turning into a frickin packrat. We're not talking about middle income here, we're talking $300,000 plus homes and $30,000 vehicles. You think the dumps are full? Just think of how full they would be if people started throwing stuff in their garages away and started pulling in their cars?




You need to borrow 2000 ft of extension cord, a sledgehammer, a stroller, an oil funnel, 23 half used cans of Krylon spray on paint, and two pick axes? Then maybe you'd be happy to live next door to this guy


I have no idea why they list them as two car garages anymore. They should list it as "An extra 1000 square foot room to hold all of your worthless junk" because as the garages sit full, the homeowners'


$30,000 cars sit in the snowy drive


And they have to go out 30 minutes early to start their car and de-ice it. Meanwhilethe 20 boxes full of ESPN magazines from 2003 are completely protected from harm. As much as we'd like to believe our garages look like the pic below


The reality is they look like this inside

But I completely understand because broken drywall needs to be kept dry otherwise it will turn into wetwall and then it will be no good.


You see your wealthy neighbors cars in the drive every night and you want give them the benefit of the doubt and think that their kids are starting the next Apple



But in reality........



Your neighbor is the world's greatest damn "Whack a Mole" player the world has ever seen and he needs to house his winnings.


Or Judy is addicted to the BOGO specials at Payless and the Subaru Outback is just going to have to wait outside




But you have to give credit to those that try...



We are all not blessed with large garage and we're forced
to work with what we have



Garage a little small? Nothing a $6 blue tarp and a bungie cord hooked to the license plate can't fix.




So to all my neighbors I would like to give you this little Christmas present. You've probably never heard of this but it's called a dumpster. Your car will thank me later

Alarmingly true. Thank God these people don't have car ports.

What the hell? "No Babies" People need to be told not to put babies in dumpsters?

Great blog. The hillbillies around me all have garages packed full of worthless crap. Being an engineer, I probably have more shit in my garage - but I also have two cars, a motorcycle, nine bikes and a small workshop - in 20x20 feet. Use the space efficiently...

So what? It's their car, it's their garage... it doesn't affect you at all. Why do you care what they use their space for? Why bother writing this?

You could've used the time you spent writing this to clean your neighbor's garage.
