    Garage is full of metal and welding equipment, therefore our trucks stay parked under the carport

    I'm glad I can keep mine in the garage - they're kinda expensive so I try to take care of it.

    Never leaves the garage while at home or at work. Perks of working for the FireDept.
    It's always inside unless I'm driving it.

    Wife's T4R gets the garage, Taco gets the driveway. They both will fit but I like to have room to move around in the garage.

    I doubt a DCLB would fit in my garage. With just 2' on one side dedicated to storage and a 2' deep workbench at the front of the garage I was hard pressed to fit my former MINI and a '93 Miata in it - to get them in they had to be squeezed so close together you couldn't get into one of them at all, and the other only by opening the driver's door part way.

    Stupid small garage... I have dreams where the crotchety old bastard behind me moves or gets put in a home, I buy his house, tear it down and build a nice big garage/workshop in its place.

    Hopefully keeping a good coat of wax on the Taco keeps the paint looking somewhat decent. Need to replace the window tint with ceramic to cut down on the interior heat and degradation.

    As to OP's dilemma... Keep whichever one you drive most frequently in the garage. Getting into a hot car sucks.

    Mine fits nicely in the garage (since day one) with less than a foot to spare. That's with the spare tire carrier.

    I never leave my truck outside if I don't have too.

    A little of this and a little of that.
    My truck is in the garage at home and there's a parking deck at work to keep it out of the weather.

    Carport in back yard next to my '70 Chevelle SS. Don't have a garage big enough to fit either. Might fit a Model T. House built in 1910, same as garage. :rolleyes:

    No.

    I park it at 1420 N. Claremont Blvd.

    I really need to get the door locks fixed... haven't been able to lock it for months.

    The Taco stays outside except during hurricanes and other such nonsense. The garage is for the G35 and the homebrew gear.
