    I have an awesome garage that I DONT get to use :(

    my mom parks her e46 in there and wont let me use it even when I need to do something on my car! REAL PAIN IN THE ASS SHE IS! what with buying me a car and everything haha

    doing anything in the cold sucks but doing stuff in the RAIN AND WIND sucks is the worst!

        If lucky, the E36 will die peacefully, in its natural habitat, and be given the prestigious honor of donating its parts to an E30

                  I'm right there with you, used to work as a painter a few years back. I don't do paint in cold weather without a booth, too many headaches.

                    Guys......

                    I pull the door down on my 2 car garage, open the inside door, turn up the heat and work in a tee shirt and shorts, when its 40 degrees.

                    Get a house! With a garage.

                      Shit, I was complaining in 45 degree weather... Some of u guys r insane working outside in frozen temperatures! I just HATE working in the rain. Thats the worst.

                      Also, I managed to sneak my car in my garage until I fix it :)

                        I'll never live in a place without a garage again. In my last house, about 5 years ago, I had to fix the heater core in my wife's E30 outside, on my knees in the snow. Never again.
