(wistful wishing) [View all]

Here's irony for you:

I have life-long dreams of getting a collector car (or 2 .....or 9) when I retire and I have a short list of the ones I would like to find and restore.
But I have pretty much relegated this idea to the trash bin of history since I live right in the city and have only a 1 car garage that leaves 1 of our modern cars outside as it is.

Our New Great Depression survival plan involves staying here because the house is PAID soon.

Besides, I have the city right in my bones and wouldn't like living out someplace where I could have a bigger garage.

Have any of you managed such a "rural" hobby on a tiny city lot?
