If one car in the garage is good, two cars are even better.


These are the two smallest cars in my fleet.

This is the third and final update on my garage situation. At least for now.

Hey! I can actually fit a car in my garage! (Again) A "Real Life" adventure.


The XJS is not as small as a Smart Car
but not as big as the '56 Cadillac that once sat in this spot.

Note the car's position relative to the center floor seam.
That empty space between the locker and the metal shelf has been eliminated.



It has taken two sheds to empty out the garage but it's almost done.

A "She Shed" she said, Part Two.


Here's where w decided the second shed will go.

Right now I'm sitting on the couch writing this post while I'm waiting for the contractor to arrive to construct our second shed. Yes, there is a lot of stuff that still has to be moved out of the garage.

A "She Shed" she said?



There is still work to do, but at least it is fully painted.

If you've seen that insurance commercial that shows a "she shed" on fire after being struck by lightening, then you've got an idea what the ultimate shed would look like. That one has big windows, french doors, a small deck out front, and of course a chandelier.

Why can't I be satisfied by a new car? Or at least a "normal" car?

So many choices!

Like almost everybody, our consumer actions face the harsh realities of our financial resources. We can only buy the car that we can afford, or at least get financing for!

We can have champagne tastes with a beer budget.

"Real car guys" versus "Tourists."

There really is no division.

I'll admit that I never measured the back spacing of the original Jaguar wheels. Oops My bad!



As you can see the backspacing is pretty deep.

I measured the original wheel's backspacing at approx. 4 inches.
