Recently moved into a townhouse with a relatively small 2 car garage. This was a key factor in choosing the Supercab Raptor, which is about 1 foot shorter than the Supercrew F150. Storage cabinets on the right side were strategically located to allow access to the driver's door.

Eventually, future storage shelving will eliminate the clutter along the left side wall by the Z06.

Someday, have a new house built and spec a garage that fits two f350 super crew, 8ft bed trucks in it. Then, you will have a good size garage!

It's making me nervous just seeing your pic. I want to send over a POD to decompress the junk by the Vette

My garage is tight also. We pull in one backwards and one forward so the driver sides are in the middle and push the cars out to the sides as much as possible. It's the best way I've found to get access to both vehicles.

There is never enough space.

A good friend of mine had the right idea.

He went 60 x 40 main garage ( 20 is mechanical, 20 is for bodywork, 20 is motorcycle and tools, 25 x 20 paint booth connected to the main garage by a 30 x 40 parking area.

2 acres set aside for his private junk yard.

I'm envious of what is rotting away in his junkyard. 3 early 70s F series extended cab trucks, 2 early 70s crew cab trucks. A bunch of 50s cars and pickups, just as much 60s stuff and even a few 70s buicks.

That and he has the most amazing all original Norton commandos that I've ever seen ( its a 73 that he bought brand new ).

He's 86 and still rides it around town sometimes.

Hopefully one day I'll get to move to the country and build a sweet shop for myself.

maybe try to leverage some overhead, ceiling mounted shelving to get things off the floor?
