It's going to be tight squeeze in my garage.

One of my wifes argument against the H2 is that it won't fit. I argue that it doesn't matter.

How many of you actually park the truck in your garage?

My rig has not spent one night outside except for the 6 weeks she was Indiana. She is often covered. Kind of funny, I have no problem getting her muddy, but darn when she is clean I want her to stay that way as long as possible. Black H2s are a pain to wash and keep clean.
Also, I agree 100% about backing into the garage. Some folks need to know if the door is up or down . Actually, it is easier and you can see if a child has left a toy or bike outside the garage.

I have read in previous posts that the H2's can actually vary a little bit in heighth. That may explain that 79 measurement.

I can relate to this! Every few months my side of the garage gets full of supplies for whatever project I'm working on. In fact, I spent the better part of this past Saturday moving tools, 130 2x4s, and 60 sheets of sheetrock down to the basement. Sucked....

It's a tight squeeze but I have both the H2 and the F150 4X4 in the garage along with a pen for our 2 dogs and all the other toys.

I garage mine. Why is it that we can keep a 50K+ vehicle outside and "stuff" in the garage?

In So Cal. we don't have basements .....(Well most of us don't) So guess weir all the crap go's .... in the garage. I don't know if my H2 will fit, (top to bottom), but mine is so full of crap that I haven't even attempted to put it in.

I don't even own an H2 yet. I have a deposit down for the SUT. I just had a new garage built for my soon-to-be-ordered SUT. I had it built especially tall (10'), wide (16') and deep (23'). I had a drain put in so that I can wash my SUT inside in the winter. I also included a small loft above so my SUT won't be lonely at night. Right now I'm using the garage as a shrine where I pray for more information on the SUT.

I used to live downtown in a highrise and my H2 had about a quarter inch of clearance in the underground garage. Now my house comes with a nice huge carport, so it is easy to get my H2 under cover. I also live in the forest so if it wasn't covered it would be covered in sap.

I park mine in the garage, however it will soon get booted out on the street to make room for a 71' Cuda project.

This is how I know the exact height of 79 1/8". I took a straight and placed a level on top. Made sure the ground was level. I wonder why GM is not more precise on things like this.

When I built the addition on the house, I also put on a 26'X28' garage.
12' ceiling height and a 18'X8' door .

I also put radiant tubes under floor so the cars can keep their feet warm .
Pull in w/ ice and snow and a couple hours the car and floor is dry.
Works great except some warm days in the spring and fall when it 90 degrees plus in there because it is on the zone for the basement and the thermostat is there too.
