We have all four cars in a garage, plus the snow blowers, lawn tractors, pool stuff. The only thing that stinks is I have to take the cars out to use the table saw or radial arm saw.
Glen, your issues are part of the reason we wait on upgrading to a new OS for a couple years. Plus, I don't see a way to have Virtual XP mode on Win X. There are a few features on 10 I would like, but not enough to put up with the other crap. My wife has 10 on her new laptop because it came with it.

I don't know that it is an anti-alien car. It was his hunting vehicle until he rolled it.
He has even lived in the storage room it was in at times. Don't think he will ever finish it.

He is 73.
Don't know what ancient phone he has, but when I send him a text it comes up blank on his end if it has any punctuation or special characters like ' or ""

Win 10 has some features that are nice. Some are just flat stupid. It really really really wants you to set up a computer like a laptop gaming and social connection with sync to your phone. It is like they don't believe some people run a computer as a workstation. Some of the simple things from Win7 or XP are just hidden away. Win 8 sucks to bad to consider useful so 10 is better than 8 but that is like saying a second degree burn is better than a 3rd degree burn, it still sucks.
Oh well, I am sure Microsoft will soon start a subscription fee per month to use it fairly soon. It will be like Office 365 or Adobe, just pay each month forever.

I see nice house frequently with the garage packed full of crap and cars parked outside. This lady's house has a big 2.5 car "stall" with one wide door and then a 1 car "stall" with doors on either end. Apparently, this is for golf cart parking as she lives near one. Today, I got it so she could pull her $50,000 mini van in with room to spare. Tomorrow, I need to go through boxes of tools and various stuff that is still sitting from the move. How many pocket socket sets does one need anyway?

Got put on BP meds in my late 20's. All Stressed up from work an family stuff.
Got into building and flying R/C airplanes... Doc had to take me off the BP meds cause was getting too low. The R/C plane thing really cleared that there stress. A iffen them thar pocket socket sets be that early Made in China junk (not the boat), then it be one use. Ya gotta toss em after that cause anything in the set ya used be all stripped out.

It is Friday and a really pretty day so I am taking the day off. Gonna clean out the dirt and leaves in the garage and organize one shelf. The garage was built with a recess for a large horizontal freezer. There is a separate light switch and electrical outlet over there. I put in a wide shelf and keep garage and car stuff and my welding stuff on the shelf.

Looked up a LOT of old school friends when I was down with my foot.
It was great catching up with most of them. Really helped keep me going. One of the womens was kind of a semi-polite *****. She accepted my facebook, but never did chat to catch up like everyone else. She ended up marrying a classmate she reconnected with thru MY facebook friends. They never dated in HS. Emailed a more than most with the girl I took to the prom. After 4 months she just stopped. It was after she had made several trips to OKC to deal with her mom's health situation. She never attempted to or even talk about visiting when in town. Figured she must have been keeping our contact from her husband, then he found out and got jealous or something. It was all very innocent despite her being a bit of a nypho back in the day. Wonder if they made it through watching all the Dr Who episodes. They had just started when she stopped eamailing.

I'm pretty bad about keeping up with old school friends. Especially since I've moved quite a few times over the years.

Most of those people I hadn't heard from since HS in 1977. With the exception being the guy a shared a house with in college that I hadn't heard from hime sine 1981.
Just got a call from a guy in Denver Co that is making arrangements to buy the Cayenne. He wants to fly in Tomorrow morning and drive it home.

His ex can't keep the kids tomorrow so now he is trying to find a shipper.
Pretty excited, a huge load off my bank account.

Fingers crossed, Richard.
It might be cheaper for him to fly his kids along with him, and make it a family road trip back to Denver.
