I miss my Z

Rusty

Don't feel bad. I haven't driven my Z since July because of my arm. It's been sitting in the garage calling my name everyday.

If you build a garage. Make twice the size you think you need. Think 24x24, make it 30x30. Think 30x30, make it 40x40. You'll fill it up pretty quick.

I need another gun safe. I'm out of room.

My dad had a garage built. Me and my brother tried to tell him 30x30. Ended up 30x24. Told him 8ft doors. Ended up with 7ft doors. We told him what he wanted wasn't going to be big enough. When the garage was finished. My dad walked in and looked around. Never heard him cuss before. After he looked. He said, this garage ain't f!@king big enough! Me and my brother was rollin'.


I'm up to about 40 lbs on the arm.

I too feel the pain of no Z. Parked mine at the beginning of November, and every morning and evening (to and from work), I see her parked in the garage right in from of me. I give a glance at the Battery Tender so I know she's still alive and it gives me comfort .

As others have said, build the largest garage you can. I built mine in 2003 (30 x 24) and if I would have made it 25' deep, I could have just pulled the Z to the back and then my wife's car right behind it. Since is is not deep enough, I have to park it parallel with the back wall. It's still in a garage, but is a little bit of a pain putting it on wheel dollies to turn it sideways.

The wife and I found plans we like for a 5 car building with integrated workshop and living quarters above. She's ok with living there for a couple years till we save more and build a real house beside it.

When my first wife was alive. I found a garage with a house over it. Price was good. It was everything I would ever need. 12ft ceiling, enough room for shop area in the garage. The whole thing was Wife didn't like it because it was a garage.
