I wouldn't have shit for room to work if I did bring my car in there. Even after I cleaned all the shit out a few months ago. At least I have a driveway and don't have to try and sneak around working in an apartment complex parking lot.

One of my friend's parents have a house with a 4 car garage (could probably fit 6 cars) and it has a lift in it. They don't wrench at all, but why not get a lift? I would love that.

No room for me

I have been hunting for an apartment with a garage attached for a reasonable price. But fuck they don't seem to exist.

I'm not exactly thrilled to pay 1300-1500 a month for a place that is too damn big with a garage.

I just want a studio with a garage right under it. why is that so hard to find.

>>14456568

I've got an apartment with an unattached garage. It's not huge, but I don't get too many complaints for noise or fumes since it's about 100' from the nearest apartment. I pay a little over $1k for the 2 bedroom with garage. That's about $250-350 over the market price for a similar apartment without garage.

No garage right now but when I move into my next apartment I'll get one. New car is slowly gaining more and more scratches in the paint from inconsiderate assholes no watching their doors. Might just vinyl wrap it if it keeps getting worse.

East coast. Starter homes are $600k. I'll probably never save up enough for a down payment.

Are studio apartments with garages a thing?

Don't care at the moment since I have a commuting appliance but that'd be nice when I have a good car.

i live in a huge cheap rent controlled apartment and rent a huge cheap garage about a 10 minute walk away

it took me about 7 months to find the garage but i'm pretty happy with it.. i have 4 bikes in it now and i can finally buy a "nice" bike and not worry so much about not having somewhere to put it

Have garage, use it as playstation/hangout work on cars on my driveway, if its wet go to my in laws, they have an industrial building to store truck and trailers so work on my cars their

My roommates turned our garage into a hookah/PS2 lounge and server farm, but they'll help me move the couches out of the way for a day or two if I need to do some basic stuff. They ask that I don't change any fluids that could badly stain in case I spill any, which I think is fair. If I need to do bigger work my dad will usually let me use a space in his garage for a while, I just wish I could keep my cars out of the rain and sunlight. Someday, hopefully.

That's not my biggest problem though. Is anyone else /no tools/ here? Barely any spare money as a student so I've been saving up for more and better tools.

>>14459349
What do you do that allows you to live in the middle of nowhere?

>>14462015

Coral Springs is extremely white and smack dab in the middle of Miami and West Palm Beach.

Then again, it's extremely white....

>>14462015
Dude, father's day and Christmas Lowe's will have stupid sales on tools. Like $200 300 piece mechanics toolset for like $100. I bought one 5 years ago and I've only had to buy a few speciality tools since. I use them for everything. Regular maintenance and even more involved stuff.
Kobalt tools are decent, and they have a lifetime warranty on broken/lost/stolen tools. You just have to register your shit. And actually in the rare case you break a tool you can just take it back to the store and they'll swap it out pretty much no questions asked.

>>14462080
>Coral Springs
>White

I guess. It's just that the neighborhoods change so fast that anywhere in Coral Springs you are bound to have a few shitty apartment complexes somewhere close. Parkland and you are a little further from it. Or West Boca, or anywhere else in Boca if you have money.

Weston or Pembroke Pines as well. But it's still not going to be close to as whitewashed as most other suburban areas.

I would reccommend Wilton Manors for the buttplay.

>>14462080
>>14462093
But then again I live in Deerfield which is so fucked up. Nice middle class white neighborhood. If I go 4 blocks east, it's million dollar homes in Lighthouse Point. 4 blocks west and I'm in the hood.

>>14462091
Does Kobalt have different levels of hand tools? The time I had a shop change my oil, they over torqued the drain plug. I don't really know how to describe the ratchet, the socket just wobbled on it and I couldn't get a real grip. The wrenches just stretched open and slipped off. They were all from a Kobalt set my dad got me for Christmas years ago, but they might have been a cheaper option.

Not that I'm aware of? Maybe the smaller kits are lower quality?
I'd say their mechanics tools are on par or better than craftsman professional. Like I said in five years I haven't had a problem with them. And that's wrenching pretty frequently.

LOL. In trades, you'll probably make $100k at the highest. The only way you can pull in more is if you work for yourself, and even then most of that money goes into running your business.

No. I could use it straight from the ground, but it's hard on the plumbing. I use a filtration system. Monthly cost is one bag of salt plus the electric to run the pump.

Costs absolutely nothing. As long as there is gravity my tank cleans itself.
>electricity is more expensive in boonies
Not by much. The difference is less than $20 a month.
>I'd wager your utilities cost more than mine.
I pay less now than when I lived in town. There is a startup cost of course, but the longer I love there, the less it averages out.

The garage is for expensive junk, tools, my bicycle, and the big freezer. The driveway is for cars.
Besides, all the maintenance my car needs is a service every year and fluids/tires topping up. And I can do the tires, oil, and washer fluid myself. Any other fluids need a special mechanic's screwdriver to access or even check anyway.
