Too bad youre not closer... My friend and I are gonna buy a 2 car carport and store our TAs in it. Were gonna board it up and tarp the front and rear to try to keep them from getting snowed on.

Ahhh the joys of having a heated garage at home. I hated all summer having to leave the car outside since my apt complex didn't have any covered parking spots. Now the car rarely moves out of the garage.

Where would this place be located? In Des Plaines? If it is in Des Plaines or the general area I might be interested and I know of a couple others that would be as well.

Well i saw it today theres enough room for 25+ cars easy! I'll keep everyone posted, as far as working on cars there i dont think that can happen. But im slowly feeling him out... its behind his office so noise has to be at a minimal unless i can work something for after hours. But i know security for others cars has to be the main concern. Its in west chicago, about two blocks from diamonds. And yes a heated garage at home is very nice! Its just we have 6 cars in my family that want the two spots! lol we have a few garages on our street already. and lookin for more but this has come along...

Damn West Chicago is too far for me. Des Plaines would have worked out nice.
