That you need to drive to downtown suggests you might not have much garage space after all?

No one parks in the garage in the suburbs :) They either park in the driveway or on the street, both of which have ample room to store vehicles.

I tried parking in my garage for a while, but the car took up too much valuable space.

This is it. My garage is full of kid's stuff. I don't have a backyard for a shed, plus my landlords installed shelving on all three sides, some not above car roof level.

If we want to park a car in there, it's about an hour of moving stuff out of the way. I stand at the back as a spotter while my wife drives at me. Once she hit me, she turns the car off and climbs out through the back seat. I then climb over the roof of the car.

I wish I was making this up. Glad it's 12 years old with no sun roof. I don't have to feel bad about sliding over it.
