You'd think a Canadian city would know how much room hockey equipment takes up.

If you live somewhere that gets regular snow you should keep your car in your garage if you can.  Morning scraping in sub-zero weather looks quite lame.

I have a garage that was built in 1952 and I drive a pickup truck. Ain't no way in hell my truck is fitting through my garage door.

I rent my garage out to a Mexican family. The lease says I can only park one car in there at a time.

WhippingBoy: The 'garage'? Hey fellas, the 'garage'! Well ooh la-de-da Mr French man!

Well, what do you call it?

3+ car households?

Garage is full:

It isn't that bad. I have a 2 car garage. I also have 2 kids and the girlfriend has two kids. After tools, lawn care stuff, bikes, scooters, outside toys, sports equipment etc. we park in the driveway. But we don't get snow here all that often or all that bad.

How tragic to live where they allow overnight parking on streets.

A car hole!

Oh no, a counterfeit jean operation running out of my car hole!

I would love to park in the garage but my truck doesn't fit.  So I store my gas grill in there so I can pull it out easy and grill in the driveway.  When there is snow on the ground, it takes some getting used to at first.

I think that would be numbnuts here in the states.

Only if the snow is deep enough to frost your testes

Wiser words have never been said.  The only person I know with a garage clean enough to actually park a car in there is my dad, who lives in San Diego, so I'm not so sure why his house has a garage in the first

place.ZAZ: If you own a curb cut you should be forbidden from parking on or near your street.

That actually wouldn't be too hard to enforce if you issued street parking permits.  You'd just have to authorize your parking authority to map which households had spaces.  You could go one step short of that and just have fairly high fees for residential parking permits, which would encourage people to use their driveways or garages if they had them.  One of the big problems with curb cuts is they take away public parking spaces to create private ones.  If you have one AND you park on the street you are really taking up two spaces.

They weren't wrong.

we had this discussion, my wife and i, where i talked about my plans for the garage when we finally purchase.

she was astonished that i wasn't going to let her just take over the garage with storage, that i was, in fact, going to allow her very limited storage space in it.

-_-

City of Vaughn asks a very reasonable question.

If you have to leave your automobiles outside in severe weather because you have too much stuff in your garage, you have too f*ckin' much stuff.

Sounds like this guy lives in a town full of slobs

Garage?  You mean Birthplace of Innovation?  Cars just waste too much valuable space!

Everything about this article is boring.

That sounds like a healthy relationship....

The tweeter is an idiot.

I have such a garage and a four-car driveway.  There's a nice four-car driveway in front of it.  There are 3 bikes slumbering in the garage, the 3 cars stay outside... in the driveway... so, you know, not in the way of municipal snowplows.

Has the city of Vaughan called in the army yet ?

/No such idiots where I live.
//In fact, there are many idiots here, just in a different way.

TFW Americans call a garage a "Car Pantry"

Cant these people park in their driveways, or do their car holes just dump right out into the street?

This is what happens when we start letting cities tweet.

A walk-in closet is Satan's way of making you regret getting married.

FTFY.

Make roads narrower, save major $$$. No reason taxpayers should subsidize parking.

Did I mention I just finished my shift at the department of redundancies department ?

Obviously, one of the idiots around here is capt.hollister...

SurfaceTension: people with a garage full of junk that they're never going to do anything with but can't bear to get rid of because "I might need that some day."

I remember listening to somebody say that America is the only country in the world were people will store useless junk in their garage and leave a $30,000 piece of equipment outside. Guess he was wrong, Canadians do it also.

They wouldn't call in the army as the majority of plow trucks are just sitting in people's driveways there waiting for a storm like this.

I mean honestly I just came back in from the garage where I was cutting metal for my multi-rocket launcher.   No, cars can get by just fine in the driveway.

All School Buses are canceled, but school is open? WTF? Why wouldn't they close school today.

People that park their cars...blocking the sidewalk...are farking self-centered aholes. My neighborhood is full of aswipes that have a 3 bedroom home, a garage, and 5 cars and park none of those cars in their garage. Instead they park their cars on the sidewalk so when I walk my dog we have to detour into the street. Some cars gonna be getting keyed!!!!
