where do you go to work on your car if you don't have your own garage or drive way?

 

Used to go to my parents. Now I don't have that problem.

 

thanks...I don't even know if I am allowed to work on my car on the street I live on...I think so...but gotta be sure.

 

i've seen some people keep cars in those storage sheds you rent. I imagine if you felt like renting one, you could probably work on your car in one of them

 

My parking area is absolutely shitty with potholes, mud, and ghetto people's garbage. So...I do it out there haha. Dedication!

 

i've used a local parking garage for a few projects. just go to the top level so nobody bothers you

 

1) Organize a MOD meet with some locals and find the person with the biggest garage to host it.
2) Not sure on your Location but maybe you have a friend in the Military who can get you in to a hobby shop on the base
3) You could rent a storage shed but there are rules and im almost positive that your not allowed to do any automotive work in it due to chemicals from the engine spilling, but you might get away with it.

I think I remember reading that along with the you cannot live in it rule

 

abandon street, slow traffic streets, etc... in my case we do mods in a garage, streets anywhere lol

 

front yard.

 

provided you have a front yard

 

NYC status...

I find the widest curb and drive up on it... if the cops come by, they ask wat am I doing now cuz they're so used to seeing me working on cars...

space isn't really a constraint
having the proper tools is
you need to get yourself a nice toolbox and fill it up w/ some quality tools... I suggest Sears...
Mostly need 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, 19mm and you can take this entire car apart
lastly a nice low profile jack w/ some jackstands goes along way

 

Do it at one of those self-service car washes. Best place IMO!

 

my driveway

 

exactly you can always find a place to work on a car but you can't always find the right tools...invest in some quality tools OP

 

it used to be on the street before we bought a house.

 

My garage but when I help people out that don't have a garage we mostly go to a parking lot.

Wish I had a camera last fall when I saw three guys working on a Passat in the parking lot of a strip mall where a AutoZone was located. They had the whole front grill, radiator, and condenser off the car on the ground. Couldn't tell what they were working but I could see the front cross member of the chassis.

Ever notice how many more stains there are on the parking lots in front of car part stores?

 

My covered parking space. It's not bad until the snooping wannabe mechanic neighbor comes over and tries to spew his "knowledge" of cars on me. Half the time I'm completely ignoring him and devising a plan to wrap my torque wrench around his head. Next condo or house will absolutely, 100% positively have a garage.

 

random safe looking alleys

 

Garage has the ES350 and the TL, and I'm lazy to move them in/out and listen to my mom's nagging about it, so I just go to my brother's house or a friend's

 

wow that bitch is DUMPED!!!
