I'd be happy for a garage at all, with or w/o doors 
If I have enough land area when I move next time I will look into one of those temporary metal car ports. I'll be looking at $60-100 per month for inside vehicle storage all winter; seems like I might as well put it into something more permanent.
Wondered why we did not hear from zippy all day!

Last spring I replaced my then 17 yr old wooden 16' garage door for a new lighter aluminum one. Last month installed a new opener when the old one's gears finally died. Should be good for awhile now.

Erick you need to communicate with Jeremy (RIDGERCR) in Upstate... he's as excited about the new driving video game as you are 
Actually, I'm almost as excited about about another game coming out. iRacing.com has a super realistic simulator on the horizon.

Crazy News of the Day!
Dubai crown prince buys camel for record $2.7 million
The crown prince of the United Arab Emirates of Dubai has bought a female camel for a record 2.72 million dollars, an organiser at a camel beauty pageant said on Monday.
Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashed al-Maktoum "bought camels... worth 16.5 million dirhams (4.49 million dollars), including a female camel... for 10 million dirhams (2.72 million dollars)," Hamad bin Kardoum al-Amiri said.
Amiri, quoted by the official WAM news agency, made the remarks on the sidelines of the nine-day beauty pageant which opened on Wednesday in the UAE capital of Abu Dhabi.
More than 10,000 camels -- including females which are the fasting racing camels -- from across the Gulf are competing for prize money totalling around 9.5 million dollars. One hundred cars are also up for grabs.
The contest is part of a camel festival in Abu Dhabi that aims to celebrate and preserve the region's cultural heritage.
Oil-rich Abu Dhabi, one of seven emirates that make up the UAE federation, produced the world's first test-tube purebred camel and has begun using remote-controlled robot riders in its camel races in place of child jockeys.
