The Garage: Not Just For Cars Anymore

There was probably a time when the garage was simply a place to park your car. However for many the only thing that doesn’t spend any time in the garage is a car because it’s become a place to store things, hang out in and work on projects. The subject of this month’s “The Average Guy” in Men’s Health magazine is Garage logic….which probably is not very logical to begin with. Anyway here are some of the findings:

• 1 in 6 men say the garage is their favorite home hangout.
• About 40% say they’ve had sex in their garage which might
explain why some many says it’s their favorite place.
• 1 in 3 men still hang pinups of models or celebrities in their
garage….I have hats of some of my favorite sports teams.
• 1 in 5 men who played in garage bands when they were teen-
agers still rock the house even though they are past the age of
25.
• 31% of men say their garage is very organized while 68% say
there is no way they could fit a car inside even if they tried.
By the way, 44% have tried to get the car inside and failed.
• 40% of men keep beer in their garage and about 2 in 7 say they
could survive a marital spat for a few days and live in theirs
because they have a TV, fridge and other amenities.
• Their were more than 2,800 men who were injured by garage
doors in 2007 which is pretty scary when you think about it.
• 20% of us have had to battle a squirrel who wanted to make the
garage their home.
• 21% of home buyers will have a three-car garage in their next
home.

And you thought the garage was simply a place for your car.
