The garage I have now (for the past 36 or so years) is the only one I remember that had a car in it for an extended length of time. For the past few years it's held my project bits and pieces. When I was growing up in SoCal the garage (built when I was 4) held a car for very little time. I remember my dad rebuilding the transmission in the 48 GMC shop truck in there, but otherwise it was basically a storage building/workshop. And I built 2 Model A's working out of that garage (mostly out). A few years back, my sisters and I rented a 30' long dumpster and cleaned out the multiple years of stuff that was stored in there. That and the couple of storage sheds my dad had built filled that dumpster to the top. Did I mention that I come from a long line of packrats?
My mom cried when some of those old memories went in the dumpster.
But I've been one of those "Little Guys" for all my life.
