It doesn't help that under-main-roof garages seem to be designed to only just fit small to medium sized cars despite the significant, rampant inflation of car sizes over the past few years.
My family tend to opt for smaller cars, because we're practical and don't have the faulty 'keeping up with the Joneses' gene, which means we can fit two cars in a two car garage.
We may still be in the majority, but it feels like it won't be for long.
UMR garage sizes should be inflating with the average car size. The Ford Ranger, essentially a fucking truck, and completely impractical, is the highest selling car in Australia because of backwards-thinking tax incentives from a few years ago, and then the ensuing Joneses effect.
Sigh... humans.

- Tagbert 6mo agoI don't suppose you have Ford F350s in your area? You could put that Ranger in the glove box.
- BLKNSLVR 6mo agoDon't see them very often, thankfully. We're not the US yet - there is still hope!

- BLKNSLVR 6mo agoUnder main roof Apologies, I meant to add the acronym where first said under main roof.
- dredmorbius 6mo agoThanks!
- cosmic_cheese 6mo agoThis is true. Back when I was EV shopping, the number of models that were both proper modern EVs and could fit reasonably in my garage was shockingly small.
- cassepipe 6mo agoOr maybe big vehicles which are inefficient from the point of view of physics (bigger = more energy to move around), take more space and damage the road more (more heavy, more bad for road) should be banned or taxed accordingly instead of having the law change the size of garages ?
- BLKNSLVR 6mo agoI'd be happy with all of the above.
