Also, where do you keep your various vehicles?
2 golf carts, one SUV. Don't drive the SUV very much (8 years old & 65K miles and it's been to Canada & back, NC 3 times, Atlanta 3 times).

some cars are very well equipped to handle theft. when bringing mine in for repairs i explain how the doors must be opened by they key, & they never listen. i can hear that alarm go off while im in the waiting room & the car is in the repair section, saying to myself 'i told them they had to use they key, now they know why'.

I assure you - the purpose of the thread is to figure out if our own vehicles would fit into the garage/driveway or not.

Given the responses, I have a much better idea as to what style of house we'll be looking for when we do visit TV. The humor in this thread has also been nice to see. It makes TV seem like a nice place to be!

Um ... it's not like anyone is giving out addresses or anything. Seems like pretty general harmless info to me.

2.5 garage, standard size. Had 2 SUVs and a golf cart. All inside but super tight fit. So just recently, downsized. Traded my GMC with less than 20,000 miles for a smaller Buick crossover. Doing my part to stimulate economy. LOL
We could never get by with one vehicle with our different schedules. I don't golf, don't care for driving cart, and don't like being stuck at home all day w/o vehicle. Not traveling like we used to.

No worse than using your real name so people can google where you live and drive by to see for themselves. They will also find out your age, race and political affiliations.

A clever hacker can “discover” all kinds of info. Just because the originator of this post claims it is all for informational purposes to purchase a home (welcome), doesn’t mean some of these very detailed responses couldn’t backfire.

No one is giving address, much less many don’t use real names. One just need to drive the streets of TV to see what cars are in the drive, with little to no effort

You keep your vehicles on your own property. Car, motorcycle and golf car in the garage and your second car on your driveway, it is really not to hard to figure out. If you live in a villa there are two storage lots in the villages and several outside of the villages.

Originally, I thought to live in TV one car and 2 golf carts. Not happening! The Villages is sooooo big that you really need your own car each. So - 2 cars and 1 golf cart. Not permanent yet, but might buy a 2nd golf cart if it seems that we both are wanting to use the cart at the same time.
