My garage is full!

I think I need a bigger garage, what do you think?

My garage is 19'6" x 19'6", and will only hold 4 Honda vehicles!!




My white CRX is actually against the "front" wall.

Options on answer:
1. Very carefully
2. With a good coat of Vaseline
3. Lots of wiggling

Take your pick!!


Seriously - I just backed it in, and got it in the spot with only pulling forward once. I guess I hit it just right! FWIW - I'll be putting a new head on it, when I get time, because I had a timing belt snap on it a while back. It has 249K miles on it. The belt only had 18K miles on it. I guess I just got a "dud", huh?

Any rust on the CRX's? They were known to rust. I love CRX's so much.
I noticed one of them is an Si. Rare little car, rare color also.

White one is an '89 DX, it has some of the rear wheel well rust. When I get it running again, it'll be my winter vehicle. I'll park my Fit when there is salt on the road.

Yellow one is a '90 Si. No rust. It only has 65K miles on it. Never been exposed to salt!! It "sleeps" during the winter!! I've got a couple of minor door ding places to touch-up on it, and then it'll be going up for sale.

My Fit is my "new CRX" as it is my practical hatchback vehicle !!!

Yeah, I know. Some people have different hobbies. I have too many cars!! My insurance agent is on speed-dial, and I don't even have to tell him who it is, he knows my voice!!

That being said - I'm selling my truck this Friday to my ex's husband (does that make him my husband-in-law???) and I'm going to be selling my yellow CRX in the next 6 months or so - depending on how lazy/busy I am!!

Then I'll be down to my Fit, my '89 CRX, and my '94 Honda Helix. Oh, and I'm getting a 4' x 8' utility trailer this weekend for when I need to haul those things which I used to haul in my truck. My '89 CRX and my Fit both have trailer hitches attached to them (see a separate post today about that...)

I have a friend. He is crazier than I am. He's married, but he and his wife never had kids. They had cars instead.

He is currently constructing a new garage to hold his "fleet" of vehicles. I don't remember exactly what he has but it is somewhere around 10 or so...

If you're bored, you can check it out. The garage he is building is my DREAM garage. It is 50' x 56' (2800 sq ft of garage!!!)

HAHA!!

Thats great! I love the pic.

I wish I could score more than one Honda. A friend of mine recently let me sit in his Honda *project* car, I'll take some pics when I can. All I know is that it is an earlier model convertable. Black, & the *roof* is stored in the trunk, whithout interfearing with storage space. The seats have a red pinstripe on them.

????

Make sure to post it up here when it finally does go on sale. Also, if it's just door ding i wouldn't worry much about it. Sell it as is.
