It’s now a one car garage. Well two would fit but the doors would hit each other. Still the garage is 22x24
My garage is closer to 20' wide (would have to measure to be exact) and if I back in the Miata and keep the passenger sides very close to the walls I can get both the Miata and my Ranger or my friend's Dart in and get the driver's doors open without hitting. The garage door is 16' wide.

Passengers (which I rarely have) can't get in or out of them when they're in the garage.

Probably wouldn't work with 2 large vehicles.

Thanks. That’s useful information. My doors will only be 12’ wide. I’m thinking just one car plus the lawn mower and snow blower. The van won’t fit because it’s too tall and I have 10x10’ doors up in the shop for it. I doubt I’ll ever get married again so I’m thinking one car will do it. And if I need more garage I’ll just build another that is detached.
