There has been some movement by the FAA to make hanger usage for aircraft only, particularly if there are federal dollars involved, as Dantilla states. You can a have a car in there but the space must be primarily for aircraft and related stuff. This would be bad for Jerry Seinfeld as he has at least one hanger at Santa Monica full of Porsches (he's not the only one that does this at KSMO).

I think storing cars in them is fine but if there is a wait list for guys wanting to store their planes, they should come first. Storing cars along with your plane shouldn't be an issue either but it depends on the airport. I know in Phoenix - KDVT, absolutely no cars are allowed, not even while your plane is out and you're flying.

Several years ago at KDVT some guy was doing some painting on his plane in his hanger (not allowed). Some overspray had drifted up and into the next hanger where a guy had his car stored and spotted the car. The guy complained to the airport and the airport said 'tough $hit'.

I remember many years ago at El Monte, CA, a guy had a small but nice upstairs apartment built into his hanger (a T hanger!), and still room for his Skylane.
