Where does your G05 sleep at night?

During this shut in, I've finally had time to clean up the garage a bit. I took this photo knowing that it is just a moment in time where is is clean in orderly and most certainly on its way back to normal garage clutter. I'm thinking of wrapping with PPF. Not the car, the cabinets. Kidding of course.

Share a photo of where your G05 sleeps at night.

Lol...I'll take a more recent pic when I cut the grass later. Apparently, I haven't taken any pics of my M50i in the garage., but here are some pics of my winter 742Ms in the garage in the meantime.

Located in southeast PA, so plenty of grim, but just leaf blow the debris out. No smell or complaints. Here's a link to when I redid it back in 2015:

You have a great starting point. It wouldn't take much to make it really nice. At least you can put your cars inside. I read about members who must park outside. Just having a garage at all is big plus.

Show is photos when you get paint on those walls. With a roller, that's a 2 hour job tops. I used white ceiling paint on mine and then put LED shop lights in. What a difference and cheap to do.

Once the X5 comes home my M4 will slide over to the left and be treated to a BMW battery charger as the X5 will become the new daily driver...

Yes, in this garage my other (and daily rig) is my Power Wagon and of the other side on the X5 is a new M2C and a classic Harley FL springer slipped in there too. Both M2C and X5 are under cover and in hibernation state due to the current events. The only consolation prize is I took the family on our 2 week Disney Trip to the Grand Floridian in early Feb before the mess.

Only 300 freakin miles on my new M2C. Kids homeschooled and I have been called back out of retirement for security duty for LE/FED contracts.



Only about two months ago:

Funny you asked because my wife bought a case of Charmin Ultra double roles back in Jan before we went on vacation. She just happened to luck into a super deal just before any of this mess was even known. I also bought a years worth of premium paper towels and garage supplies after Christmas from Autogeek when they had 30% off end of year sale. We are set for at least 6 months.
Now I am not sure if we should keep using it or use it as currency.

Nice garage. I just wanted to point out a couple errors:

1) missing bottle
2) Craftsman name is not lined up properly.

Otherwise, a really nice garage. Kidding of course. It's awesome!!
