Just thought I'd share pics of my crazy garage situation.



I thought I had it bad with the old roommate.
Look at the new one!!!

lol...I have to share my garage space with a minivan and 2 arcade machines. There were 3 but I got one working and moved it to the basement. Had I purchased any other car I couldn't have garaged it. When performing pre-delivery cleaning for my new MINI I measured exactly where I needed to clean to

I'd make them park outside.

 

I can't! I rent that garage!

 

Says it all.
I bet you pay an arm and a leg for crap!
Jerry Seinfield has a nice place their, to bad you don't know him .
You would have to park by his porsches.

Arm and a leg is right! $165 clams man (just raised it 10% godd*** it)

 

$165 per what?

Can't you just swap sides instead of you both being crammed against a wall?

 

I will be in NYC in end of july or Aug.
I pay around 40-50 bucks per night to park my HO MCC. If you live near where I am staying I would rather have it in good hands then those stupid parking garages. The last car I took (rental) got crap on it and they beat it up. I parked the MINI long term at JFK's new parking lot and it was ok. But I fear those parking places... no matter what the hotel they park at another seperate owned garage.
Do you think your MINI need a friend?

$165 per month!

If I drive to work it cost me $20 to park per 12 hours + $7 in tolls.

Plus it's better if we both open up to the wall since there's that pink padding that protects the doors - if we opened up to each other my door would be dinged in no time!

Too bad I can't rid of the roommate...But in all fairness, she has done a very good job maneuvering that hunk o' crap in and out of that tight space (did that come out wrong?) and so far so good - so knock on wood!

 

you two could have split the cash,
I should get the MINI parked in front of the hotel Valet, like in vegas
But thats an extra 20 bucks in the hand shake

Parking is the worst in NYC
I think maybe in the world!

i have a similar situation here. it's not so much that it's smallish shared garage it's the fact the guy i share with is one of them rich type people and neglects his cars. when i first moved in he had a beautiful porsche 911 convertible. never drove it. the first day i seem him get in the car in 18 months he pulls out of the driveway and some sort of engine fluid spills all over the driveway. that car disappears and a few days later a champagne colored mercedes 500sl appears. couple of months later that gets replaced with a brand new amg55 that's been sitting there unused for probably a year. :(
