Quoted: Is this something rednecks imported to Arizona....the practice of sitting in lawnchairs just inside or just barley outside the threshold of the garage door; they're not really doing anything, some may be smoking, some drinking a brew...but many more just seem to be waiting for the thrill of a car to pass by. Is this indicative of a redneck, a section-eighter, mushroom smoker or what? They sit out there and talk about morons that don't know that barley and barely have two very different meanings. |

I was doing this just last night. Wife does not like the cigars in the house. Also got to chat with a few neighbors. Helped next door neighbor by lending a impact wrench to remove his harmonic balancer. Then helped another neighbor hook up his trailer. Good conversations, and there to help others when needed. I enjoy the open garage time, especially right before race season (I live in a neighborhood with a lot of gear heads).

Is this indicative of a redneck, a section-eighter, mushroom smoker or what? I don't have a porch and my KEGERATOR IS IN THE GARAGE. So its a good way to relax and have a beer. Sometimes the neighbors will come up and chat with me, have a beer with me, and we talk beer. ETA: I always have a spare chair and a small table for the beers in case someone wants to sit down chat and have a beer with me. I also always have spare glass beer steins in the garage freezer I also have spare Growlers that I fill with free beer for my neighbors who stop by. Of course it helps being part owner of a Micro-Brewery (I get a fantastic deal on World Class Beer). Best Hefeweizen bar none including Europe, and some of the finest Ales, and IPAs, double IPAs, along with a fantastic Mexican Lager, a Great Scottish Ale, a good Trappist Ale, and a decent Pilsner. All there, available in the Garage. All free, only cost is coming by, saying hi and chatting a bit. Now...isn't that rather neighborly of me? 
I like watching what is going on in my neighborhood, waving at people as they walk or drive by. And sometimes I get lucky and a very hot chick walks by with her dog. |

It's like porch sitting for those without porches. Garage provides shade. Porch Honkies? I'm sorry, the proper terminology is "porch cracker" Lots of people sit out like this in the south. Befor the days of AC it was cooler outside then inside. Have dinner, go out side with a cool beverage, relax in the breeze and have an actual conversation. Some times A neighbor will stop by and exchange news of the day. We always did it in the evening listening to the radio when I was growing up. |

I have 2 TVs (48" & 32") along with a computer in the garage. I start around noon and usually shut down the last game around 2am. Some weekends it involves a cigar or 2. Other weekends it's a pipe. Neighbors stop by to talk football ofrcheck on the latest scores since they know I ill know all of them. I may or may not wrench on a car while doing this but I am always doing something. |

lol I've done that a few times instead of going into the backyard. No idea why.
I'm totally "that guy" in the neighborhood. No one else has tools or is very, um, redneck (like with fireworks or provoking wasp nests or any of that shit) like me. When some neighbors walk past my house and my garage is open, I get looked at like I'm an axe murderer for having a welder and a table saw. Many of them gawk at it, like they fully expect a swat raid for meth cooking any day now. A few years ago, someone moved in down the street and one night I saw two of them rolling a fuckin car axle (solid axle rear) down the street. "Kindred spirits!", I thought to myself. They'd do the occasional late-night burnout, and it warmed my heart. Really, it did. None of the other neighbors had the aesthetic appreciation for such things that I did 
They moved away, and now I'm the only one left.

Grandfather had an original Levitt house on LI with a carport. Every summer he would roll out a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet. He would place the heavy duty metal spring chairs out that had mattress like cushions along with a lounger also with a mattress like cushion. Out came the TV (days before cable) and the Mets would be while you sipped on ice tea. Best days and he was from Scotland, so not sure relaxing where the car is supposed to go is a redneck thing.

Why does it matter where they sit and relax? Because its frowned upon by the HOA in a gated community prison. They would hate me with a passion. I roll up the garage door on a nice sunny day with a little breeze, set up a folding work-bench in the shade, and begin cleaning firearms. An open garage-door is a clear indication among friends to stop by and socialize. Quoted:

Not just a Southern thing, it's a Midwest thing as well. Both neighborhoods I have owned homes in had or have one or two...usually retired guys just relaxing and watching the world go by. Nothing wrong with that, I hope to get there myself some day.
My next door neighbor is better than any alarm system...he sees everything that goes on in the neighborhood while I'm at work. I always stop by on the weekends and visit a bit, get caught up on the goings on I missed. |

In my old neighborhood, we did this all the time, darn near every weekend. I was restoring a car at the time and I had a lot of "help" and "advice".
There were five of us that got together often, either Steve across the street or I would drag a grill out to the driveway, fill a cooler full of beer and invite anyone who walked by a cold one or a brat, hotdog, piece of wild hog ham, whatever was on the grill and a seat to sit with us a while. We made friends with many in our neighborhood and it seemed over time, we had a lot of folks stopping by to shoot the shit. Many of us stay in touch to this day. We've all moved away except one guy. He really misses all of us! I miss doing it too. My new neighborhood is full of stuck-up Yankees. I tried to get something like this going here but I got the look so I stopped.

Pretty much. Californians are an oddly secretive group of people. There are some guys down the block from me that do the garage party thing during football season. But for the most part, we never do get to know or socialize with our neighbors. Where I grew up it was all about block parties during the summer or sitting on the front stoop, having a cocktail, watching the kids play and interacting with the neighbors. Observation: The poorer and heavily Hispanic neighborhoods seem to interact with one another a lot more then the wealthier and whiter areas. Dunno what to make of this. Quote HistoryQuoted:
