So, Revstriker, what does your neighbor do during "Hail" season?
They just leave them out. Surprising that they don't have more damage.

A neat trick I picked up from my dad:
Park your car where you ideally want it, with enough room to walk around the front and sides. Then suspend a tennis ball from a string attached to your ceiling/rafters so it strikes the center of the windshield. This way you wont ding your Benz or your lawnmower when you come home after Superbowl parties.
(they have electronic devices, but this method is much cheaper, and I'm saving for an SL)
You can buy a Yellow ball that is made for this from Genie. I got mine at the home depot (I think for under $5). It attaches to the top of the door, and then runs string through eye bolts so that the ball hangs down where you want. Easy to install. Good thing about it is when you put the door down, the ball retracts up to the ceiling.

same here - can't reply where I wanna...

4:3, but only two get to park inside (the CLK55 & the E320S, of course).

Ours is a two car + one car garage - the one car garage being attached to the other end of the house, and providing a home for my son's band o'the week (being the parent of the kid who plays the drums does have it's drawbacks!).

The good side is that junk storage is limited to the "his" garage - so the bass player gets to trip over stuff, not me & the wife!

3 cars, 2 motorcycles, 3 car garage. All fits but my wife's car. I can get all cars in there but my daughter's drum set takes up too much space and 3 cars would make for more door dings.

I had a 2 car garage and had it torn down and rebuilt from scratch as a 3 car garage last year. It's pretty cool with recessed lights, completely drywalled in, 3 outlets per wall, kitchen quality cabinets, epoxied terazo floor and a pull down ladder for a walk in attic for the junk most people put in their garage. The rule is nothing goes in the garage unless it has wheels. The neighbors are all jealous.
