Driftwood Theater
That would be the Driftwood Home Theater.
From the outside looking in
The screen wall with all the panels open
The seating
85" Screen, 7.1 channel surround, 6 amps, 15" Tempest Subwoofer (tuned to 17Hz.), Sanyo Z3 front projector, HD-DVD player, 3 captains chairs up front and a futon on a 14" deck in the back, 2 dedicated 20 amp lines directly off the main house breaker panel to power her and 100% DIY.

My roomate's Nissan Sentra and his motorcycle. I'm just trying to keep the fight for the garage alive, competing with 4 roomates who all have cars can make it a challenge but there's no way I'm giving up the door opener! Not to sound rude or stuck up but their cars all suck, ie. Tercel, Saturn, and a Civic. Definitely not worthy of garage status...

Our two MINIs sleep together. Sometimes we peek out into the garage and, at times, it seems they are inching closer together.
We're keeping our fingers crossed that someday we'll be blessed with a healthy litter of baby MINIs.
Hmmmmmmm... CR and PW... hope we can sell some of the little pink MINIs.

BTW - Jacob wins for best floor, not to mention cleanest garage too. Nice job
I'm getting there, slowly, but getting there

You should really have that looked at!
My wife and I don't have a garage yet, but under our attached carport is my 2005 MCS, my 2006 Honda CBR-600F4i, and part of my wife's 2005 Mazda 3S 5-door(a fun car itself). Out back is a 1992 Caravan, strictly for the 100 miles of commuting to school and work that I do every day, and a 1992 Civic project car that's at my dad's 24'x30' shop about 10 minutes away from my house. He only uses it for his lawnmower, which works out great for me! I also use his shop for work on my other vehicles, if I don't use my employer's shop.

I haven't told them that but I think they just know. I've lived there almost three months and nobody has said a word yet, I just saw the garage door controller sitting on the kitchen counter one day so I took it. It might get more difficult in the winter though when they don't want to scrape ice off their cars in the morning. I commute via public transportation so its not an issue for me, but I definitely don't want my car outside in the winter
I guess if that happens I'll have to start using the cover

My MINI lives next to my Dad's car most of the time:
But, occasionally sleeps next to my Mom's car (whose car is usually kept outside...how I managed that one, I don't know)
Outside also lives my Dad's daily driver:

Wife's 2004 Toyota Tacoma, and my daily driver, a 2006 Impreza Sport Wagon. The MINI gets the primo spot in the 3 car garage, it's bay is 23 foot deep, so plenty of room in front of it for my work shop 
It is sooooo nice having somewhere to keep all our cars, we moved in here in February and could not be happier.

Here's a current pic of my garage, El Kabong and the Icewolf, DH's 2005 Nissan Titan Crew Cab. Between these 2, we have pretty much all contigencies covered.
Outside is my 2001 PT Cruiser, I know many here hate the PT, but it has been an awesome car. Very reliable, extremely roomy and it will be a great car for my son, who will be 16 in very short order.

P.S. Also in the garage is my 1972 Schwinn L'il Chic. Completely restored by my brother as a surprise Christmas gift last year. He found it in a dumpster when he was helping a friend move and brought it back to it's former glory using his drum supplies! It is almost exactly the bike I had as a child, right down to the banana seat! I've told him he needs to go into business.

Damn, you need to get the parent's to spring for a 4-car garage with that collection of rides
