Where do you park your baby?

It all started because my wife was out of town and I was bored. After washing "Mickey" I looked at my empty garage and got an idea. The result was very amusing (see attached photo).

So since we all drive one of the most fun convertibles on the planet, I was interested if anyone else had found any other "unique" parking opportunities.

Stories are great, and pictures are better. I am always looking for some interesting ways to photograph Mickey.

Great pic Larry!

Carlos and I always tease about how many Mini's we can fit into our garage. We figured with all the nooks, crannies and angles we can probably get about 8 in there.

Wouldnt that be GRAND! It would be like being in a playroom of puppies <G>

I park my Mini in the garage and Gus goes camping everynite, or so thats what I refer to it as. He gets a nice soft cover even though he stays in the garage..

When I park & before I close the top, I always look up. If there is anything above me & Butters, I try to find somewhere else to park.

(((Darn Birds!)))

That pic is too funny and even funnier cause I did the EXACT SAME THING one day when my wife was out running errands. It did give me a lot of room to get around the car while waxing!

Astro is either in the garage or "FAR FAR AWAY" from anything.

'Dixie' spends most nights in the garage. However she was evicted recently because my wifes 05' Jetta has been leaking major oil and I am panning it in the garage to measure just how much.

Hey Mordecai... Is it "Great Minds Think Alike" or "Sick Minds Think Alike"?

I thought this was a flash of mad [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']genius[/FONT], but now I see there are two of us

I don't know which it is but I did just show my wife this and then had to explain that I did the same thing (I never told her before). She just slaped her forehead walked away shaking her head at me.

Either way there's comfort in knowing there's more than one of us!
