All those of you out there that live to work on cars, especially your own, but can't due to lack of garage or driveway vent your anger here. It really sucks having a lack of work space due to living in an apartment complex.

I'm with you bro! I have a parking deck covered with trees LOL... and it snows a lot in the winter, so working on my car in winter is not possible. SUCKS.

Sucks doing stuff in winter or waiting for a decent day just to change acc. belts. Last year installed the lambo kit when it got up to a balmy -4 Celsius, just after christmas in the driveway.

yep, definitely sucks not having a garage. I have a pile of parts in the corner of my living room and nowhere to install them. Its hard to install coil overs in a gravel driveway in the middle of town where the wind never stops blowing.

EVERYTHING I have done since the beginning of tuning (Starting in High school) on has been done on a driveway - From 1999 - 2004 it was on my first GF's driveway, then various friends, and even the latest tuning (2007-2010) was done on my old supervisor's driveway.
The only time I had access to a garage was between 2004-2005 when I built up my one awesome Pony (the blue one at the first Hyundai Sunday) and man, I have never been that productive - Rain or shine I worked on it.
Soon, I will have a garage. Soon...
Oh, and in a pinch, I worked on various cars in my first apt's underground - I did about 4-5 engine swaps and painted at least 3 cars down there, even the week leading up to my departure to Korea last November - Haven't lived there since 2008!
I even stored a car down there for a year and a half without paying a dime...
