Sure, I wax the car, I have a few wrenches to do work and I store all my samples for work throughout the week in the garage. I have done a lot of wood working in the garage cutting molding, cedar etc and also use it as a "lab" for work related purposes. I don't do elaborate work in my garage when it comes to motor work, but painting the garage and making it "look cool" is what sets it apart from the norm. I enjoy taking on projects that keep me busy and give end results that I am proud of. I've thought about what a big difference it would make to pull my car into a nice garage everyday as well as before entering the house and how it would be fun. It's part of the house, and painting it extends the living area in a sense because you enjoy it more. I would assume it would make the whole house seam more inviting, especially since with my town house, going through the garage to enter the house is much eaier than going around the building to the front door. It would also make you realize that you can actually do something with all that space. It's called being creative and having fun doing it. To each his own!
