This x however many already agreed with it.

I have a triple that is 30' deep and wide enough to park a long box crew cab 2500 and 2 full size vehicles with lots of room between them. It also has floor drains for the snow melt. It has a lift in it to work on cars and for storage of an extra vehicle. It has a drive through door on the back. Only thing Wrong is it is three doors, would prefer one large double and a single. Also, make sure the door is at least 8' tall so you can back a boat in or a pickup with a canopy, 9' is better. Despite the oversized triple, I still built a detached double because I had the room out back.

Whichever you build, have them wire 220 into it and put 200 AMP service in the house. That way, if you ever go hybrid or EV it is ready for the charging station. If you can build a triple, you will never regret having done it and it materially improves the resale value.
