My '05 Mini Cooper is joined by our '99 Passat wagon, 5 sp. turbo(anti-minivan). Our '01 Odyssey sits outside during the warm months. When winter comes the Mini gets covered, turned sideways and stored in the corner, then the van can be pulled in 3/4 of the way. This keeps the snow scraping to a minimum. The Mini comes back out in Feb. for a little trip down to Daytona!!!
And a buttload of weight lifting stuff.

Stacks of Hardy Plank siding, for the 1/2 of the house my husband has not finished, pella windows for the back of the house, IPE (pronounce ee-payh) wood decking for the remainder of my front porch, a 40-some inch walk-behind mower that doesn't get used since some nice fella named Rojelio drops by weekly to cut the grass, a power washer, 3 bikes, 2 scooters, lacrosse and badminton equipment, camping stuff, multiple ladders, boogie boards, beach tents...you know, normal stuff for a garage.
But we get the MINI in there, no problem.
The 2006 Subaru Outback and 1998 Volvo V70 tough it out in the driveway. They have lots of leaf poop on them right now.

Not many cars, that's for sure.
The metal working stuff - big mill and lathe, the three welding set-ups.
The big air compressor.
The wood working stuff - the big planer, the little planer, the table saw, the radial arm saw, the finishing benches. The small spray booth.
The 6' Snap-On box, filled with tools. The engine cherry picker.
Two very expensive bicycles (his). The Mini (mine) in the one stall with an opener - the one that used to belong to the race cars. The other 2.5 stalls don't have an opener because they are for tools. The other cars live in the driveway or the sideyard.

Our 2006 MINI Cooper is joined by our 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Believe it or not the Santa Fe is the commuter at this point and the MINI is in the front of our garage for now while I am working out of state!

Hey thanks, we are looking to get more power out of it somehow. Maybe some new rims...and lower it a bit.

We finally got 3 cars in the garage, with the bikes, BMW R1200RT, R1100S, and my personal favorite Honda NT650 Hawk, of course what takes up most of the garage is the tools, two tool boxes, a 80 gallon 8hp Big Red/Snapon compressor a motorcyle lift and a welder to tinker with the toys.
no garage but my driveway has my 06 MCS and either a 2003 VW Passat wagon or a 2001 VW Golf with the 1.8L turbocharged engine, but thats getting replaced with a MazdaSpeed3 in the next couple months

Well, I converted my garage into a music studio with a grand piano. Just outside the garage is our 2005 Town and Country (Cool fold down seats) and my 74' 914 2.0L. Still waiting for my MINI (mid November).
one of those was my second choice
i actually should have said 'will sit'.
My beetle is at the body shop, will be home from paint in the next 2-3 weeks, and the gti is scheduled for delivery in the same time frame, replacing my wifes TDI Jetta
