Parking in the garage is overrated anyways!

Well, I was kicked out of the garage today. My dad got another car, so now the garage is occupied by that and his Taco. I get to park in front of the house, in the #1 driveway. [sarcasm]WooHoo![/sarcasm] My Computer money went from $5500 to now $2000, and now I have to get a new alarm since mines been ghey for a while. $600. Im thinking of lifting this MoFo. I want to do like 4" lift front, 4.5" rear. And I want Trac-Bars in the back. Does anyone make such a lift? I dont like the idea of using spacers (dont know why, just dont).

I have a friend who can hook you up on the alarm. He sells everything DEI.

E-mail (alan@newhorizonsccu.org), PM, or call me (800-525-9570)

Time to move out and get a home of your own, that way no one can kick you out.

wow there is like 4 different topics in that one post!


I have never had a garage, so I don't know what it would be like to park in one. Hopefully we will be getting a house in the next couple months to remedy that problem.

Do a 2-2.5" suspension and a 2" Roger Brown Body Lift. Search for the suspension lift FAQ page.

Don't count on it, I haven't been able to park in my garage for years. Junk has this amazing ability to expand and fill all available space

the garage does a couple things that i love:
-keeps the newly washed truck cleaner longer
-keeps the snow, dust, rocks, pine cones, leaves, rain and acorns off your paint and body panels

besides that... who cares!

Well acoording to the car talk guys Garaging your car actually increases RUST if you are in a cold wet climate as the warm, dry air in the garage just lets the rust go to town!

Everyone knows garages are not for cars. They are for car parts, tools, lawn implements, and beer!

My '91 MR2 turbo also resides in my garage. Of course I have another empty bay. Problem is, the garage is 100 yards from the house, has swing-up doors that I have to prop, has no power, and isn't even on the same street.

Don't forget the kids toys, bikes, and the putting green when raining. I haven't been able to park in my garage since we moved in 3 years ago. Someday......Someday
