Is the government my husband? We have two garages, one is used to store all the family’s bikes, Thule bike trailer and strollers. The second one is full of shit. This morning he said we need a carport to protect the car. The place where I’d personally rather have a carport system covered by solar panels is the train station where I leave my car in the morning to catch my commuting train to work so I don’t burst into flame in the evening in summer and freeze in winter when I return. Plus, electricity. This is my parking minimum.
