I have a parking space outside at work and a space at home that can be seen from my window. I never park in the street, I'll take my Element when I have to go shopping or visit someone where I have to park on the street.

Mine stays in the garage next to my mom's 07 TL. I am fortunate that my parents let me park in the garage.

Right now she sleeps at the body shop

But normally she sleeps in the garage along side the MDX.

<------------ See photo in my avatar.

I'm looking forward to getting her back into her usual spot.

In the single-car garage that's barely big enough; the Jeep is forced to park outside.

Currently my TL sleeps in my two car garage at my townhouse. I finished the floor myself which turned out great. I also painted the walls as well. I dont have a picture of the TL-S in there, but I do have a pic of the Z06.

I am also now proud to say that starting in February my TL-S will have a new home as my wife and I are having a home built as we speak. The builder has one other home identical to the one we are having built in the same neighborhood and here is a picture. My TL cant wait for the three car garage :-)

TL-S's current bedroom:

Thanks very much. The Z06 was fun to drive but I have since sold it. Maybe some day I will get another fun weekend car, but for now getting that house was my priority.

Thanks,
James

Mine sleeps in the garage next to the 4Runner.

Hey JTS, that garage floor looks great! Was that hard to do? How time consuming was the prep work? I'd love to do that to my floor...

Nope it was pretty easy I actually used the Rustoleum Epoxy kit for 2 car garage from Home Depot. I Also applied the Rustoleum high gloss epoxy clear coat as well since the original coating was not as glossy as I wanted. So its basically 2 coats of epoxy first the actual epoxy kit, then the high gloss clear. Its pretty much as easy as painting walls, however its all in the prep work. I was lucky because my house was only 2 years old at the time I did that floor so the concrete slab was in excellent condition. Your house looks relatively new so you should be ok you just have to make sure its cleaned very well with the concrete etching kit that comes with it. If your slab is in good condition with no cracks or pits, the cleaning process is as easy as rinsing off the floor with water, then applying the concrete etch solution, then scrubbing, then rinse. Let completely dry then start the epoxy process.

This stuff does require a decent amount of time to cure and dry properly. I think it was like 24 hours before you can walk on it, then like 48 before you can put a car on it. Since I had stuff in my garage that I couldnt let sit outside over night I did the garage in two sections. I completed the one side first, let it dry then put everything on that side, then completed the other side.

Overall I am very pleased. Its been about two years since I put it on and there are no signs whatsoever of this stuff peeling up anytime soon. I use jackstands, car jacks, and all sort of stuff on this floor and it holds up very nice. Super easy to clean stuff up as well. A little slippery when wet even with the anti slip additive, but im just a little more careful if my shoes are wet. I think total cost for the epoxy and high gloss kit was like well under $200 bucks. I didnt want to spend a couple grand to have it professionally done, so this was perfect!

Very nice... I had it done too, but didnt want the floor to have the gritty texture. It came out great after all the pits, cracks were filled and the entire floor was grinded down from the previous epoxy job (poorly done, so it was peeling). 2 coats of epoxy + "nonglossy"clearcoat. It does get a little slippery though.
