that isn't too bad for space.  Try not being hardly able to open up your car doors once inside the garage to get out of the vehicles and not being able to walk in front or behind the vehicles without opening up the garage door first.  My full sized 2010 Double Cab tundra and mid sized SUV with cycle/lawnmower/snowblower/ATV in front has less than 1 foot in front and 1 foot in back and the truck side has 6" on the passenger side before the passenger mirror hits our standard 20x24' garage.   My wife will NEVER try to drive the tundra out of the garage since I miss the right side of the garage door by merely 3-4" and her SUV by less than 10" everytime I pull out of the garage.  I knew I should have opted for the 5 car garage to put my other 2 ATV's with trailer and fishing boats inside for the winter.

That's why I have 2 garages.    The standard one on the house that holds the wifes Highlander and my Dakota Quad Cab.   Had my Hemi Ram in there  till I couldn't get in it anymore and had to downsize to the Dakota.

Back garage is almost full, but not quite.   Got the Chevy Trike, MGM, 44 Harley ServiCar, Tool Box, air compressor, 2 John Deer tractors, one snowblower other grass mower with huge grass catcher, wife had to have it, and after she rode it a couple of times she admitted it was a waste of $$$ and a pain in the butt to maneuver and also to park.    Got 33 storage boxes from my mom's apartment when she passed in 1992, was going to have a garage sale and said no way Jose, too much work for peanuts, also got some of my freshly divorced last daughters boxes she doesn't have room for at the Town House she rented, my work table, and 15 spare tires and wheels.   Son is selling them off of Craig's List slowly but surely.    Just unloaded a set of wheels and tires for $300 last week.   Got some ladders, and old powder coated antique bed, was wife's dad's bed when he was a kid, so it has to be close to 100 years old, all my Trophies from, Drag Racing, also from Power Tour, and a few trinkets from Key west, FL.  A old console TV of mom's and believe it or not, it still works.    Lots of times in the summer, I'll go out there, turn on the circulating fan and the TV and just relax.   Got the last daughters 3 bikes, 3 speed, single speed and a 20 speed I think it is.   All I know it is more  than a 10 speed.  When she rode it all over God's 1/2 acre, she was slim, trim and muscular as hell.    Wouldn't care to of met her in a dark alley and her in a pissed off mood.   When she spent 1 year in California doing internship, she took a shortcut through an alley headed to the dorm.     Some joker tried to molest her.    By the time the LEO's got there, the poor guy had a broken nose and a broken arm.    So ya see, she can take care of herself.

It's amazing what and how much we accumalate over the years.  15 years ago my basement was neat and tiddy, now I have trouble walking in a single lane without tripping over stuff. 

My mom's house full living quarters upstairs is like a jungle with bags piled up all over with stuff my parents have gotten over the past 20+ years since we moved out.  Hard to believe my brother use to live up there 25 years ago looking at what is up there now not being able to hardly take a step.  Can you say 'hoarders'??

Don't you for just hate it when that happens.  Same here, the cars are back in the garage making extricating the Valk much more difficult for a quick ride during the winter.
