Quotes & Sayings About Car Garages

Over the course of my life I've been to lots of places. Shadowed places where things have gone wrong. Sinister places where things still are.

Elevated cortisol levels can lead to chronic cognitive impairment, fatigue, and suppression of the body's immune system. — Daniel J. Levitin

If I were to look in the United States or in Europe, in some of the garages, you would have a Bentley or two Bentleys or a high-end Mercedes, and you may find a Smart also in that same garage because that person thinks it's a fun extra car to have. He may have four cars but also have a Smart because he thinks it is cute. — Ratan Tata
