I live in Brooklyn, NY, where most people don't have driveways, or yards, or several other things that people in my Michigan hometown have, e.g. more than 2 kids, an unquenchable hunger for Applebee's riblets, a striking resemblance to John Goodman (side note: on a recent trip home my husband took a long look around the local Walgreen's parking lot and remarked, "why do all the women in Michigan look like John Goodman?")

Mine would certainly be like the car boot room in the first image :)
