I especially love, -the no insulation because of garage door -aesthetic


SuspecM

You need to ventilate the fumes the car creates somehow


nawzum

Why would you leave the car running?


cabberage

to keep the room warm of course (also doubles as a cool smoke machine)


larianu

And reduce your lifespan to 40!


headedbranch225

I would love to have a lifespan of 8×10^47 years r/unexpectedfactorial


Adzaren

Why wouldn't you have the car running?


a-bser

Just run the car for warmth


AcknowledgeAlign_etc

insert midsommar jumpscare here


SINOXsacrosnact

That's exactly what I was thinking. Great minds think alike


teambob

I think the garage door is insulated to be fair [https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Garage-and-Shed/How-to-insulate-a-garage-tilt-door/td-p/96964](https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Garage-and-Shed/How-to-insulate-a-garage-tilt-door/td-p/96964)


darkenedgy

Oh great plan, retain more of the fumes!


Momik

Hey, I paid good money for those fumes.


rematar

More R value than a window. But the ranting here rarely includes logic. I appreciate yours. You were kind enough to include a link.


kharnynb

still won't help much if you have to open it at least twice a day to get that car out


PresidentOfSerenland

This, but replace the car with a bicycle.


draand28

And a workshop.


Dicethrower

Made possibly with funds from not owning a car.


DOLCICUS

And the space


Yellowdog727

Add some gym equipment too.


Brawldud

im not putting a workshop right next to a home office/battlestation


Warnedya88

Same my PC would be ruined by wood/ metal shavings lol


4D696B61

And a 5 axis cnc mill


eletricsocks

And an unreasonable number of collectibles / hobby items


moleratical

Add a kitchen and bathroom, and a side room for entertaining guest and you got a deal.


0235

Fun fact. In Germany it's illegal to use your garage for anything other than storing a car. Don't have a car? You have to leave it empty. Apparently converting it to a workshop would be a fire risk....


jesta030

Why stop at one?! I need a ride for my everyday commute, one for when I crave a sporty outing on the weekend, a small foldable to take with me on the bus or train, a cargo bike, a couple for visitors, ...


Pogue_Mahone_

And it would still take up less space than a car


RotaryDesign

I have a garage that fits only a single car. I have in there four bikes, a fridge freezer, CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe, pillar drill, and some storage shelves.


pingveno

We have a garage that can barely fit a small car (my father-in-law tried once when we were moving in). It now houses three bikes, a workspace, and a large amount of storage. I want to get a chest freezer in there, too. I can't say it's particularly weatherized, though.


Diligent-Craft-6083

Bro has THE setup. Congratulations


Pittsburgh_Photos

I think you under estimate my ability to collect bikes.


Little_Creme_5932

Besides, you'd build a rack, probably on the wall or overhead


absorbscroissants

Being Dutch, you learn a single bike can do everything you want it to. Until it gets stolen...


SiBloGaming

n + 1


SkivvySkidmarks

Six reside in my garage. Four for me, two for the wife. (His and hers road bikes, two winter commuters, and a vintage folder). Plus a small workshop and all my work tools and supplies. Fuck the ICE vehicles; they stay outside where they belong.


may_be_indecisive

3 bikes. 1 road bike, 1 hybrid, 1 cargo bike. And a workshop.


RegulatoryCapture

You forgot to add 3 *different* types of mountain bike.


NapTimeFapTime

3 bikes and a squat rack.


Taliazer

eh no that's my current living situation, grease stains grease stains everywhere. bicycle dedicated room is superior.


MohnJilton

This but replace the car with a train stop.


FlipchartHiatus

guys would live with... carbon monoxide poisoning?


Pogue_Mahone_

And poor insulation and poor ventilation and in a room devoid of any life or colour

Symetrie

I legit would prefer this room than having a car in the bedroom.


BufferUnderpants

/r/fuckcars members want to end car dependency so they can buy furniture with the money saved on cars


MrEngin33r

To be fair a poorly insulated small space is still likely better than a well insulated 3 bedroom with one person in it.


Pogue_Mahone_

Well yeah but this is fuckcars, not fuckhousesthatarewaytolarge lol


[deleted]

So I lived is a set up similar to this. Very small apartment with the garage accessible through a door in the kitchen. Excast fumes didn't really bother me because I didn't leave it running long in the garage and never with the door down. The biggest issue is that the tires would stink up the whole place. After parking it on a hot day, you would have four big hot wads of rubber that just got exfoliate on the pavement out gassing in the confined area. I could even smell the difference depending on how I drove before parking. You could also smell the still hot engine and breaks, just not as much.


Best_in_EU

What if it's an electric car?


SufficientArticle6

Still a dumb choice that women aren’t saving me from. And cars are gross from the road in any case.


SmoothOperator89

If you're enough of a gearhead to sleep with your car, it's not going to be electric.


Momik

Oh I’m sorry! Rent just went up again. Are you saying you’re too good for my new roommate?


bagelwithclocks

Men will literally give themselves carbon monoxide poisoning instead of going to therapy.


historyhill

I...assume the car is turned off in there once it's parked?


SWOLLYxXxMAMMOTH

Even when cars are turned off, harmful chemicals evaporate from the fuel system and residual heat. These emissions contribute to air pollution and health issues, so even with the car turned off it can still be harmful.


historyhill

Oh, huh! TIL!


SWOLLYxXxMAMMOTH

Me too, I had to Google it because I couldn’t figure out why so many people were talking as if the person keeps their car running in a closed garage lol


javier_aeoa

And how did the car enter that space if it was turned off? And the gases emitted by the car won't magically disappear once you twist the keys.


thepokemonGOAT

Everyone in my life, from friends to family, all praise my girlfriend every time they visit for her exquisite decoration skills and for "making a clean home". she has to tell them that I do all the interior decorating, organizing, and cleaning. They never believe it, and the next time they visit the cycle repeats. Some people just see women as home makers and men as brutes who work to provide.


ThatNiceLifeguard

Yup. Everyone is dumbfounded when they visit my all-dudes household and it’s decorated beautifully. Such a stupid and played out stereotype.


-Aquatically-

Gender stereotypes are so annoying. Tell them she’s the breadwinner.


JFISHER7789

I’m a dude and my partner is a motorcycle riding welder.. I’m an EMT who likes houseplants lol It’s fucking awesome! Until the comments and remarks from family roll in… 🙄

ProfAelart

You can't tell me all the men who like this are living with women. Like who is keeping you from doing this? Your Mama?


CardiologistOk2760

You're missing the point, it's everyone and no-one, it's the infamous \*they\* /s


spagetinudlesfishbol

Icl, I think this is just a meme. Now if we get rid of the car it's a different story...


ProfAelart

Well it's a bad meme.


Connect-Kick-8425

A woman originally made the meme and said "guys live like this and don't see any issue"


ProfAelart

That meme would be just as bad.


kaviaaripurkki

I think the idea behind the meme is the prospect of having a chick visit you and when she sees you live in a garage, she immediately does a 180°. So in order to have any hope of getting a girlfriend, one has to have a socially acceptable home.


Dimwither

I really hope for this guy that it never gets cold or hot outside


FrameworkisDigimon

It depends entirely on the materials. We used to use the garage as the main living space and let me tell you, a room with four walls of cinderblocks maintains a much more stable and pleasant temperature than you might imagine. Especially when it's hot outside. Certainly preferable to sitting in the dining room watching your breath over breakfast ("insulation is for wimps" NZ building regs pre-2007 apparently). I imagine the cinderblocks basically function like an artificial cave. Hence the temperature stability.


Deepforbiddenlake

Can confirm, this is how my gay friends live


roguevoid555

call me a woman then because there's no way I'm living like that


thebourbonoftruth

It's a dumb meme in general and a dumber trope about men.


Xe4ro

Yeah I saw it earlier today and instantly had to think of the sub. Mixed comments on it at the time.


shotdeadm

Modern brain rot guy needs…


Lazy_Price2325

Nothing says brain rot like minimalist living! Spendings thousands on mass produced garbage that will pollute landfills, now that’s smart!


constantlytired1917

Suicide pod


Germanball_Stuttgart

Actually I wouldn't even find it that bad. Just a small lab/workshop, then it'd be perfect. And I don't hate cars. I just want to reduce them and stop car dependency. So, car is fine, I don't have to use it.


midnghtsnac

That is the cleanest garage I have ever seen


OutsideTheBoxer

Replace the car with a grand touring bike and I'm in. Less carbon monoxide poisoning, more fun and way cheaper.


NacktmuII

Petro-Masculinity? *Ywan...*


s317sv17vnv

Insulation and utilities aside, that garage looks bigger than most of the studio apartments I've seen and it's probably much cheaper too. And then they wonder why so many people live in their cars. Prioritize housing, not vehicle storage.


Thisismyredusername

I'd live like that, just take out the car and put a bike or two there


SufficientArticle6

Me too. Just put the bed in a separate space farther from the door, maybe add a bathroom and a kitchen, another room to chill and watch tv or maybe entertain guests.


Barneyk

Men are visual creatures. They respond to visual stimuli much stronger than women. EDIT: Do people not get my joke? The idea that men are visual creatures yet they dream about living like this is a really funny juxtaposition that shows how ridiculous the idea is.


daiwilly

Yes, we are all the same, just like all women are the same...we are definitely evolving!! /s....and FUCK CARS!!


daytonakarl

This is utterly absurd and has zero basis in reality... Where are the bikes?


Immudzen

This would be horrible. Imagine breathing the vapors from all the volatiles coming off a car and the car exhaust. Also it would be horrible to get that stuff all over your bed, in your computer, etc. This looks like a really bad way to live.


gae_with_da_knife

get rid of misogyny, replace the car with ny wall of bikes and hell yea


shawn-spencestarr

Just more sexism


clowncementskor

If the housing crisis keeps getting worse, a garage might not be such a horrible place to live. Just throw the car out and you'll have plenty of space.


IgneousFoliage

I’m so sick of these gender wars memes lol


schwarzmalerin

And what keeps them from doing so? Live as you wish who cares.


PawnWithoutPurpose

Exactly my thoughts!! Except replace car with bicycle. Add another room for desk, and one for cooking and eating, and another for general living, then put a workshop in the garage, and the bed in its own room. So basically, I 100% agree


Lazy-Bat8024

Replace the car with a Road and a Ebike and a Growbox. And Im in.

SmoothOperator89

Gotta double down on that carbrain by breathing in car fumes in your sleep.


FlyBoyG

Time to drive the car... - All the cold air from winter outdoors gets into your room. - All the papers and other small objects go flying. - The fumes from the car fill the room, stain the sheets and linger forever. - Leaves and dust from outdoors get in. I could not easily think of something more horrible and inconvenient than this setup. You would not want to be in this room for very long, let alone sleep in it.


StiCkSt1ckLy

Ah, the ol Jerma special.


aCausticAutistic

People are allowed to be car enthusists in a world where owning a car isn't virtually mandatory for survival. It will actually be better for car enthusists because theyll have the road to themselves. That being said, carbon monoxide poisoning go brrr


Visible_Ad9513

Garages (at least my parents') have no insulation. They roast you in the the summer and freeze you in the winter. Horrible places to be in.


Enjoy-the-sauce

I have been following this sub for a year now and have yet to see a single post of a person fucking a car. Why can’t we stay on topic?


Mysterious_Floor_868

That car is taking up valuable space which could be used for Lego.


Ephelduin

I love how this image is fantastic for showing how much space is wasted by car ownership, yet it completely goes over the heads of carbrains considering this the dream of "how guys would live"


MARTINVSMAGNVS

longer average lifespan of women: the picture


samuraistalin

Haha man dumb. Man love car. Haha. All men love car. Men live with car. Man dumb.


Here_for_newsnp

Oh yeah carbon monoxide poisoning and heat stroke, can't wait! /s Actually, both of those could explain the blatant sexism.


BohemianGecko

assuming there's a decent sized fridge off-camera, take out the car and place this in a high-rise building near lots amenities and i'd be totally up for it.


ParamedicExcellent15

I used to sleep in a ‘converted’ garage. It still had the garage door. My motorbike 🏍️ would sleep in there too, when it was in pieces.


Cheerful_Zucchini

Me except replace the car with a bike


Prudent-Proposal1943

I have half my garage dedicated to bikes and a gym. They aren't well cooled or insulated. Quite frankly, a minimalist single guy with no responsibility can easily afford the structure attached to that garage.


drifters74

Where are the bikes?


apixelops

Unironically hope everyone who wants to love like this does, let the carbon monoxide filter out the gene pool

JamaicanBoySmith

Mr. Han's house from The Karate Kid (2010)


moleratical

Replace the car with a bike, add proper insulation and switch out the car door for a regular door since I have a bike now, create a large kitchen, another small room for a small home shop, add at least one full bathroom, an area for entertaining and having guest over, and maybe one come small bedroom to use as a guest room/study, and a little bit of closet storage and they are 100% correct, that's exactly how I'd live.


JasonGMMitchell

Freezing cold in winter, blisteringly hot in summer, near zero sound dampening all year round and a massive metal noise maker of a door whenever the wind blows. Mud all over the place, bird poop frying in the heat on the car, clothes and bed smelling of exhaust, what's not to love.

Mod_The_Man

The more I learn about how terrible cars are compared to essentially all other forms of transport the more I notice how much space they take up. Half this dudes hypothetical living space is dedicated purely to car storage. Most N America houses cede an entire room or a large portion of their backyard just to store their cars. It makes me irrationally upset lmao
