Good thing I wasn't home or else my Mini would've gotten a new hood ornament.

Kickstand failed :/

Failed kickstand? I'd have all three boys in separate rooms...I'd find the truth I tell you what...

Lucky break, but hope the bike is ok!

I used to have a 2005 RX-8 but fell in love with my wife's 2005 R53 so much that I got myself a 2005 R52.

Shares the garage with a QX56. If we park just right, it eclipses the Mini so that you can't see it when you walk out from the house. The Mini pushed my company-issued Prius out to the driveway. I have another garage I could clean up and make enough space for the Prius, but it really doesn't deserve to be parked inside anyway.

Right now Wife's 11 Clubman is in there by it's self Have to bring some stuff to the storage unit then it will move over and the 04 Expedition will move back to it's former spot in garage. If the garage was bigger there would be a 02 Tacoma, 66 mustang and 47 V8/60 midget. Now the mustang and midget are kept in a storage unit and before mini the Tacoma and Expedition were in the garage. Storage cabinets were added so now the mini will be on that side and the Big Green thing will be in it's former area. We figured if there was no junk in there we could fit 4 mini's.

I might try to get it inside just so the neighbors don't have to look at it. Don't want them getting the wrong idea about me.

Just sold my '83 GTI of 15 years in 2012...man I wish I could have kept 'er, even just for the fun conversations it would start, 'I used to have one of those!'.

In this case the title should say: What lives in your garage with all those old VW's?

06 STi that looks stock but is secretly an evil monster.
12 Nissan Frontier
And enough tools to scare all three vehicles into compliance.

Right now we have a 04 R50 chili red with black interior and white top which perfectly matches our 1965 Corvair Monza regal red with black interior and white convertible top. They look like they belong together!
