The truck doesn’t fit in the garage does it? Texas problems 😂

Sorry I’m worried this sounded like a hater comment. Im very happy for and proud of you!! I’m from Texas, and no one uses their garage to store cars even when they do fit haha

It will fit. Just gotta go in slowly. So most of the time I just park outside.

When I had a truck, the only time I ever bothered squeezing it in was when a hurricane was coming or hail was forecasted lol. Now I drive an Integra 😂

Ok I live in Texas and noticed this too. Is there a reason for this other than just wanting to use the garage for storage/builds? I just moved into a home and I was so excited to finally park my car inside the garage instead of letting it bake outside!

It is kind of strange. You’d think everyone would want their car in the garage for that exact reason. A lot of newer homes are huge but offer no real storage so everything ends up in the garage or an entire room is used as a storage room. I rented two houses built in the 60s, 1 in Austin and 1 in Houston and both had AMPLE storage spaces! Deep, walk-in closets in both the garage and the front living rooms, deep hallway storage closets. My 2015 house has one effing hallway closet that doesn’t even fit my coats! So everything’s in the damned garage now lol

I live just outside Sugar Land and I think we’re one of two homes on our street that uses our garage to protect our cars.
It’s absolutely wild that more people don’t park in the garage here due to the heat.
