Default How many vehicles do you have? Where do you keep them?

I'm curious to know how many vehicles you own in TV. If you have a spouse, do you and your spouse both have a car? Do you own a golf cart, motorcycle or other type of transportation?

Also, where do you keep your various vehicles?

When we moved to TV we had 3 vehicles. Our house in Tennessee sold so fast that we didn't have time to sell one of them. We purchased a home here with a two car garage and had to park one on the driveway. We finally sold the third one. The wife and I have a vehicle each, no motorcycle or golf cart. Our cars are parked in the garage.

The BMW convertible goes on one side of the garage and the two golf carts go on the other side. Also, two bicycles go in the garage. If we could add one thing to our home it would be a golf cart garage so we are not constantly shuffling the two golf carts and so there would be a little more space in the garage.

When we planned to move here we had two cars. Than decided we would be a one car/golf cart family. So we sold her car and moved here with one car.

Wife decided she would not be driving golf carts so started to look at a second car.

Covid came along and we noticed we were driving a total of 50 miles per week.

So we are sharing one car until everything opens up and than we will buy a new car.

We have a carport and a long double-wide driveway.

We have a compact car, a pickup truck, two golf carts and two bicycles.

We keep all 4 motorized vehicles in the driveway, and the bikes in the golf cart shed along with the lawnmower.

The two golf carts we park at an angle up near the laundry shed under the carport. The pickup is also under the carport, facing out. My compact car is near the end of the driveway, on the opposite side. So there's room for either of us to move our carts in and out without having to move the car or pickup, and both the car and pickup can move in and out without having to move either of the others.

Sort of like this:

You need to check your deed restrictions. I think the mule can only be taken on the golf cart paths.

One car that we only use in really bad weather or when we leave the bubble. 2 golf carts which are our primary transportation. Came here 6 years ago with 2 cars....just a waste of money to us so sold the 1 car within the first year here.

No cart, one compact car. Two-car garage. I could waltz around in there.

One car and one golf cart, both kept in the CYV garage. Although in 9 years I've owned 5 different cars. A 2011 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Hatchback was the original. Then a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, then a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek, then a 2017 50th Anniversary Camaro, and now a 2018 Hyunda Kona.

The 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo I bought in October 2012, a ship from Korea with the first 750 Turbo models landed in August and I got one of the first in Central Florida, I had to drive to Winter Haven dealer to get one. It was the most fun car to drive, 201 HP and very nimble. I don't understand why anyone would buy the 138 HP non-turbo model, but I see many of them and the price isn't that much less. You can buy a new Turbo model right now for about $21,000 to $25,000 depending on the options.

The nicest car was the 2017 50th Anniverary Camaro. Only 5700 were designated as 50th with special emblems, special leather leather interior, steering wheel, floor mats and special wheels. They all came in just one color, Nightfall Gray Metallic with orange accents on the hood and trunk. It was 5" inches wider than any of the other cars, at 75" and required I back the golf cart into the garage to give extra space, otherwise the Camaro wasn't going to make it. Because of the tightness of the garage, was one of the reasons I got rid of the car. Also I had contracted Lymphoma at the time, and wasn't sure about things, but it all worked out with good doctors.
