Default Parking in Driveway or Garage

Jad was taking the piss the otherday, pointing out that you can spot a British expat by the fact that they park a Prado in the driveway.

I think she also might have meant that Aussies are more likely to use their garage than Brits. Is this true - I think it might be......(!)

Now renth has had his car broken into in his driveway.

I can't fit my car in my garage, my workbench is too big And I leave it unlocked too, and Chief's too.

I do lock the garage since I started buying tools..

So driveway or garage, now, and going forward..

My double garage is too full of crap for cars although at a push, if there were a severe weather warning I could squeeze the Magna in.

We dont have a garage... a couple of sheds full of crap and a boat yes, but no garage.

Our 2 cars live on the front lawn/dirt.

Remembering being surprised that my best man always, always, parked in the garage when he had stacks of driveway.

He once said, "Might leave it outside for the time being".

Our garage is too full of crap. We need a clear out.
BTW Our neighbours all park outside, opposite they have teens and there are usually 5 cars parked outside.
