And I thought I was a nerd...The concept of the security deposit and the first month's rent aren't unusual. Just adds up really fast at those rates! (and $175 for a Craigslist post, OWO!)
Nerd alert: I did some calculations on what our garage costs us per month. If you take the cost of building and estimate depreciation using the estimated useful life, then add the expenses for electricity, property tax, etc. for a year.... you could comfortably park 3 vehicles in there... And to rent it for any sort of profit... I would need to charge $160/mo for parking.
Interestingly, not too far off, especially when you consider that you park in a garage, with climate control and protection from the elements.
My setup is down an alley, behind a house, under a low porch. But! Location is a thing.
P.S. Nerds Unite!

According to my buyers guide, that dimension is for a Rubicon with a soft top. All the dimensions are stated as that unless otherwise mentioned. I didn't see any "otherwise".

Oh yes. I tried it yesterday to prove it to the broker, but if I get any sort of lift, or if it snows, I'll have to reassess. Maybe get one of those Mopar Hood Accessories (TM) to stick to the roof to act as an early warning system.

Well, I know that mine is ~71" based on measurements from yesterday. But 1"-2" is within the realm of error.

lol, well I do math all day too, so I'm not too far off.You're just jealous.
but I'm not jealous about having a driveway to park on without paying extra!
No Garage though, I had to wipe about a gallon of dew off of the Yamaha before I rode in this morning.Sponsored

Yes. It is all relative. Now, you can park outside in the yard for free. Beware of the elements. Good news is, jeeps can crawl through quite a bit of snow!
