Default pick up parking spot

We need parking!

We have two full cars and a golf cart. Any one know someone willing to let us park one of our vehicles in their garage or driveway for about 3-5 months? We park in our neighbors garage when they go north but need some place to park when they are here. We are willing to do some work or help with things around the house for letting us park there. We are also willing to pay but would like to trade services instead. Does anyone know of parking spaces around the villages? We are located close to Spanish Springs but can park anywhere that is golf cart accessible.

Please private message me or call 633.3228 and leave message

Might be time to move to a home with a larger garage. You know what they say...villagers have three homes here before they're done.............

Why have 2 cars and a golf cart?

Not necessary in The Villages. Learn to live with less.

We had our driveway widened. Now two cars can park side by side so maybe you can do this.

There may be a good reason why the OP needs the space for parking. We don't know them or their situation. There might be two adults who work and need more than a golf cart to get themselves to their place of employment. I think it was a reasonable quetion.

Yes, it is a reasonable question - and you put it in the public domain of the forum instead of sending me a Private Message. That is what this board is all about.

I have several friends in The Villages who have two cars and a golf cart. They all do have two car garages and they park their golf cart sideways in back of the two cars. I was fortunate to find a house with a double garage plus a golf cart garage.

That fits right in where you told the original poster that you thought he didn't need two cars.

We have gone to one car with two golf carts also and that is with an extended two car garage and an extended golf cart Garage. We also have two bikes and Because I enjoy it, a Mower and Power Washer and Workshop in the garage.

All that said, I sure do miss my Truck. If I had one more stall, I would have my Dodge Hemi in that slot.

I work as a chaplain at TVRH. I am on call and have to get there in a timely manner if called. My husband has appointments and needs to take the car often. For us it is very necessary. You really have to know the circumstances.
