I added this a while back. It's my goal this year to clear out all of my excess shit and finish the 30x40 three car "garage" area.
There is a whole lot of excess though...a bit overwhelming when it comes to sorting.

ALWAYS get a garage with walk-up attic access. Totally worth the sightly higher roofline and the 2-3K the builder will ding you for it.

Both SUV's are parked inside. Years ago at a previous house when I didn't care as much both of our cars got bad hail damage from a surprise overnight storm. Ever since then I have made it a point to be able to park both vehicles in the garage. Plus it's nice to be able to get in/out of them during inclement weather as well as them being more secure during the night. Over the years I have grown to hate clutter too so I don't like having my garage filled with crap anyway. http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h117/CDBNTX/Misc/garage_zps69ec8bda.jpg How often do you use your bikes? I have thought about hanging my children's bikes but then I would be lifting them up / taking them down once a day I haven't gotten them down since I hung them up.   If my kids needed to use them often then I would just let them park them in front by my workbench. I would then just have to move them when I need to use the workbench. It would be a bit of a PITA but I want my vehicles in the garage no matter what and I am willing to put up with some hassle to do so.

Storage and motorcycle graveyard. Just built a 20x20 two story shed, so working on getting at least one car in the garage. 6 motorcycles (4 are "projects") take up a lot of room.

I have a 3 car garage (2+1). Wife and I fit two cars in it. The third was supposed to be my man cave, but it's basically turned into storage. Bikes, charcoal grill, holiday decorations...

I have a two car garage that is 1/3 man cave, 1/3 weight room, and 1/3 storage (maybe less). The only way a cars being parked in there is if I build a bigger one in the backyard.

Two cars and man cave with mig welder, oxy/acetylene torch, compressor, parts washer, tool storage shelves, drill press, sink and workbench with work area and reloading area. It's a tight fit, but keeping the cars in the garage was a requirement of mine.

Had a 2 car 22x20 garage where after work bench, 180 gallon fish tank, and fridge was put out there I only have room for 1 car.
Shit got better though. Just finished a 25x35ft shop with 10 1/2 foot ceiling. Once lift is in I will be able to park my truck to one side of the lift, one car between the posts of the lift, one car in front of the lift, still have room for a work area. And I will finally reclaim my 2 car garage as a 2 car garage. 4 car garage got wired for 7.1 surround and has HDMI routed to ceiling for a projector. Garage is gonna serve as multimedia room with a 120 inch diagonal. Probably will set up a new reloading station on one of 3 or 4 work benches that I am putting in. I cannot stand a cluttered garage. Quickly gets out of control if you do not stay on top of it. |

Wife keeps her car in the garage on one side, the other has my 64 Corvair. Also have the lawn tools, snowblower, work bench, and freezer out there. I wish the garage was a 3 car instead of a two car. 2 of my 4 cars have to stay outside. |

It comes from having about 8 large industrial shelves in my garage full of stuff I have collected over the years. And a bunch more shit scattered all around in various piles. Physics says the only way a car is going into my garage is with a 100mph entry method. |

Half and half. 3 car garage, 1 car, 1 project truck, storage (or at the moment, filled with the tiling materials for the inside of the house). A lot of my neighbors use it for disorganized junk storage, even people with 3 car garages and only 2 cars.

There is a reason, the things have big assed doors that a car can fit through.
Both can be accommodated within reason though. Ours has a vehicle in two bays, and the Motorcycles in the other, and plenty of other stuff. Keeping cars and trucks outside around here, is not real Schmaart this time of year. People get away with it, but they seem to enjoy having their Garage piled up with Garbage, more than they hate standing in knee deep snow, and scraping windshields. |
