That's funny cause it looks like my house. Only the difference is that my dad's Ferrari is right next to my FD and the FC is in another garage.

seriously though,
I'm doing this right now. But my car is in the side yard. And its been there like 2 months. Only reason is I am waiting for a jspec to come in. But now im actually in the process of repainting the engine bay, so it may be even longer. My parents don't seem to have a problem with it.

Ditto. I do work on my moms car, so she cant say ****, unless she wants to pay people to change her oil and her plugs. Ive got a carport/garage. I dont know what the **** it is. Basically a garage without a door, but a carport with 3 sides. Anyway My FC has been in there the past 15 months. She hasnt said a thing. Before that it was my Mustang. We only have 3 spots, so she said if I get another car it goes in the street. I doubt I have the patience for another car, the two I have drive me nuts.

I've done the swap in a house that I'm staying at with some alumni (3 1/2 car garage).. actually swapped it twice. Also did a swap in my '80 race car at a shop I get to use because of my job.

I have done a lot of work at my house and my mom never cared. Now that I have an apartment, I have to go elsewhere to work on my car, but I have a pretty good deal as far as that's concerned. We need vosko to reply to this thread and post some of his garage pics, with parts all over the place.
