If you banish the cars, then you live in a house with a parking lot
out front. Cars are not attractive landscaping (even nice ones).

UV-faded cars are even less attractive, and not keeping them in the
garage lowers resale value.

I understand how the priorities are different for different folks,
especially here in Texas where nobody digs basements when they build a
house. A garage is an attractive storage solution.

If it were me I would use the garage as my shop, but would permanently
ban all cars. They were designed to operate in the outside and do not
need to be housed. Being somewhat ignorant of Houston, I would think
that the lack of serious snow and cold just makes that even more
appropriate. I assume that we aren't housing the car for security
reasons? I would far rather walk out to "the woods" to get my lawn
mower once a week than walk to the woods every time I want to be in my
shop. I would also probably look into the time, effort and money
needed to add a window or two just to make the gar...uh shop more
hospitable for you. Now If I only had the available yard to build a
shed and get some of the crap out of my "shop".
