Why would anyone rent storage space for their car? Well, a lot of people these days own more vehicles than their garage will hold. In addition to the car you drive to work every day, you might have:
Christmas is a festive time when we welcome visitors into our home for celebration, when we renew bonds of kinship and comradeship. We look forward to these visits from our friends, our neighbors, and our family.

Anyone who has seen “Storage Wars” on TV has likely dreamed about the possibility of finding buried treasure in their family storage unit.
