Thought about it. we bought this one http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/nav...=5&item=102443 at work and its pretty nice and the price isnt too bad, but I am afraid of what the wind will do to it. I cant peg it down in my driveway. no way will they let me put anchors in the pavement and they would never let me park in the grass for more than a day so that is kind of out of the question also

You might be able to pick up some 25lb weights at the local sporting goods store (or anything heavy, really) and tie the thing down to those.

You know, you might just be onto something. I can probably just set the feet right up on concrete blocks and drill anchors right into them, or put plywood down on the whole bottom so when I park in it the car holds it down.

This will be next years project. this years bee season is almost over and I am planning on repainting the car in the spring so then I dont want any of this crap on there. !

My god, look at all that crap in there. A garage is not a place where you throw your crap in, it's a place to park and work on your car.

You could always erect...hehehe.....a 20x10 car tent and park it in there.

Trust me, this I know. But at the same time I am 22 and not paying a dime to live at home. So I guess living for free means having a garage to work in, but not keep my car in!

Dude I would build a car port extension from the front of the garage and park under there.... nothing like bad paint or a dirty black car. Or get a beater and a really good car cover.

Yeah, I hate black. I mean it looks great clean. but I miss my aspen white STi like no other!! I have to do something for next summer. I would just build a garage for myself, but the whole college thing is taking all my money. I work 40 hours a week and go to Penn State Online courses after work and I am paying for college as I go so I dont have a ton extra money to spare.

Also, sorry for the OT, but nice house and land

Havent had time yet. I work 40 hours a week and have college after work. I wanted to try to talk to him this weekend, but I am going to Budds Creek for the Motocross of Nations because my buddies father got us free tickets and a sweet motor home to stay in up there

and Thanks for the comments on my house..
