Many of use do not use our garage for our cars but for storage.
I see homes after homes loaded with stuff. Stuff people don't use, forgot they had or no longer care to use. Some use the garage as extra living space whether is it is permitted or not.
My thought is if you use your garage for storage then I believe you just have too much stuff. If you have not used the items within the past 2-5 years it is just plain junk. I say get rid of it and DE clutter your life.
I do use my garage for my car. The use it was intended for. Why because it is safe. My own neighbors of whom I know them all, call me before coming over they are not sure if I am home. That tells me I have increased security for my home especially during the days. With burglars being bold enough to invade homes during the day this is comforting to me. New friends come to my home and call me from the driving way wondering if I am home because they do not see my car. When I let them in the door they think I have a car problem. No I just have my car in the garage. they seem surprised. (This means they keep their cars out side.)
Keeping your car in the garage protects the body work and even the engine. It keeps them both cleaner, by not having to weather the elements.
Keeping your car in the garage lowers your insurance premiums.
keeping your car in the garage gives thieves one less vehicle to break into or steal.
Keeping your car in the garage raises questions as to whether your are home or not.
Think of how many times you have driven past a home of someone you know and acknowledge that the person was home or not.
My advice, use your garage wisely. It is there for your security.
