Last year, at this time, this car was parked in our garage. So, it was with great anticipation that we waited for the car to move into the garage. Perhaps it\u2019s a new car\u2026a better one\u2026worth more\u2026maybe millions. <\/p>\n On Sunday night, we gave the remote control and garage keys to the rooftop owner\u2019s shirtless attorney (strange, yes\u2026but these oddities occur when you do business and bartering in the Neighborhood). We waited with anticipation to see the new car that would claim rights to our garage. Hell, we even cleaned the garage up a little for the car\u2019s arrival -as though it was a guest in our home. Of course, we were disappointed. We can never show off…there are no more restless nights worrying about the $450K car on our property, and we can\u2019t have the secret superiority of knowing that in our garage is one of only a few Porsche Carrera GT’s in the world. <\/p>\n But, the upside is that finally are house is now worth more than the cars in the garage. <\/p>\n Now, the only questions worth pondering are: 1) where the HECK is that Porsche and 2) why wasn\u2019t OUR garage good enough for it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If we lived on Grace Street, this title would be clever…instead, it is just sad.![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.anygame-anywhere.com\/nicole\/uploaded_images\/porsche-carrera-gt-713550.jpg\")

By Monday night, we decided that we needed a peek at the magnificence that may be in our garage. We slowly opened the back door- careful not to touch or breathe on the car. The lights flicked on and to our shock, there were two cars: one a 2000 VW Passat\u2026the other- a 1983 Nissan Truck. ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.anygame-anywhere.com\/nicole\/uploaded_images\/nissan-720377.jpg\")

\nMy last entry screamed of the euphoria of being \u201cback on top.\u201d Mostly this was in reference to getting in the good graces of the \u201cMost Powerful Rooftop Owner in Wrigleyville.\u201d There is no greater reward than bartering your garage for access to the glorious rooftops on Sheffield Ave . But, I must admit, there was one other small advantage\u2026
