Any suburban guy will tell you that a garage is much too valuable to waste on just a car. If a man's home is his castle, his garage is his keep. It is there, after all, that he keeps all his important stuff, like used motor oil and primitive implements such as bent snow shovels. Women just don't get it when it comes to garages.
Garages are definitely a guy thing, like spitting when there's no reason to spit.
Speaking of which, the garage is the only place in the home where spitting is not only allowed but required. That alone ought to spare it from being turned into a vegetable garden. I would give you a prose tour of my garage, but it would take all of this publication and more. It traces my use of tools from simple trowels to a snowblower that is roughly the size of a Ford Bronco. And it epitomizes one of the first rules of guydom, namely that you can never have too many dirty rags.
