If "she" gets wind of Roy thinking the truck is old and miled out, she might start thinking Roy is old and miled out ;-)
not that the trade in value on the old rascal is much to speak of

Is the garage too short, narrow, or not long enough? I know that some members of FTE kid you about your failing driving skills but I have great confidence in your driving skills and think that if you put the mirrors in each time, you could keep your insurance in place and JGG would recieve no additional dents, gashes, or crunches.

My f250 makes it into the garage each and every time I return home with no issue. It's a skill that you can learn. You are not too old.

Bruce....Really, The truck can't fit.......Part of the garage is a woodworking shop.....
The door is too low for Jolly green to fit. Jolly Green is too long due to the front Mooseguard and back bumper......Plus I have a workbench along the back wall of the garage.........The poor girl is stuck outside....

......It is ok. David must be 70 yrs old by now.....

I have never had a vehicle in a garage. Carports, yes. When I have had garages, I use them for a workshop.

I've got a garage. It's an "Open Air Garage"
Son's 67 Galaxie and some engines are taking up the space inside.

Roy:

I'm pleased to hear that it's not an eroding driving skills or PTSD problem from all of the other crashes.

I have my wood shop in my basement. Did in my last home too. Exposed basements makes getting tools and wood into and out of the shop easy. Added a commercial tile floor and two large vacuum systems that makes cleanup quick and easy.
