Love this thread, guys! 
Hey, any port in a storm, eh? A 1-car garage is better than parking outside. For years when I lived in apartments or houses with a 2-car and more than two cars I had to park my beautiful cars outdoors. I can tell you that I was known as the Perpetually-Detailing-Dude all those years. I didn't know any better. 
Now that I have a decent size garage, I always keep as much space freed up in the garage as possible to make parking a breeze. I've even increased the number of cars I could squeeze in with a 4-post lift. It's Nirvana after "The Exposed Years".
Heck, I almost got the wife to buy in on a six-car garage when we were looking for a new house this last go-around, but it wasn't meant to be. 
Hang in there, fellas - you'll get the extra elbow room if you persevere.

I used to be there with you guys in our last home...it was a 2 car garage, assuming your two cars were a Miata and a Mini Cooper...
I made it a big priority to get better garage space when we were looking...and ended up with 2 garages (26x28, 20x30) that are both decent...
The best part is that we bought the house for less than what comparable houses were selling for with a 2 car garage...
I swear, one day I'm going to start an auto enthusiast community of nice homes, all with a 4car garage minimum. With the price of garage construction here, there's just no good reason not to build them larger...

Not only is my garage small, it's bullet-proof (covered with old license plates).
This isn't really my garage but it's not too far away from where I live in Southern Indiana.
