Do you miss having a 2 car garage? Is it a deal breaker for buying a CYV or do you find ways around this? Thanks for your input.
We sold our CYV after three years and bought a house with an oversized garage. I loved the CYV! But sadly, we found the garage was too small. Not just for storage, but for hobbies. We acquired a golf cart, a motorcycle, bikes, golfclubs, gardening equipment, etc. We looked at a few CYVs with two-car garages; but found them expensive and the driveways were usually short. We wanted a serene view which further limited our CYV choices. Fireboy has many hobbies including E-Flyers and motorcycles. He's a "garage guy", and now he gets to have a large workshop area. It's all about personal needs.
