Property vs Cars
Discussion
On a road near me (houses built when car ownership was rare) several people have added short driveways and bought short cars to suit. I like them.
Others have short driveways and bought cars that don't fit and block the pavement. I don't like them.
The world would be a better place if more people measured up for things properly, including cars!
Now, parking tight under something can cause problems if you have air suspension...

I thought it was for opening the door and putting things from the house just inside. That's what my wife uses it for and she's always right.
Mine too! It just piles up inside the door until I get triggered and do something with it. IOur current house is the first I've ever owned with a garage big enough to fit a car (or two) in and actually get out of and walk around, or work on with a bit of space to move around. And I still don't put the cars in it unless I need to do something on them and the weather's lousy.
I built a new garage / office that was very tight for space and it was split in half roughly with the garage part being 2" longer than a Caterham 7.
The planners responded "I am not sure if you are aware, but you won't fit a car in that garage".
I responded with a photo of a Caterham and told them it will be fine :-)
"ah, fair enough" was the response.

In the winter a garaged car is an amazing thing. Just open the garage door and drive off. No faffing with squeegees or ice or wipers and they stay cleaner for longer as well.
This is the way! We were lucky enough to have a double garage that 11yrs ago we could fit the car (3 series bmw) and wife’s van (Renault traffic) in. Then the rot set in and it became storage for her business (florist). Closed the business about 3 yrs back, so I cleared it out, replaced floor with Duramat and up until a week ago when it became storage for us moving this week both 911 and Macan fitted just fine!
As you say, keeps them clean and also keeps eyes/itchy fingers away at night, no messing on cold days, no green stuff around window rubbers.
New house (an old house) out in the sticks, one triple cart lodge, one double…. 3/5 bays in total full of wood. Might be a blessing with the cost of heating going through the roof.
