Of course for a lot of the people (at least in my region) a car (or sufficient space for one) is one of the least common things in a garage so people do find uses for them. General assorted storage is probably the most common use, and workshops would be the second. Basically a glorified shed which can be done in a much more attractive way.

i like having a garage personally - own a townhouse with an alley behind, and rear facing garage - the only right way to do things IMO. not common at all for atlanta, but definitely so in other places like chicago and dallas. some of my neighbors with families treat theirs as extra outdoor living space, one even went as far as putting a nifty pebble coating on the concrete - they park their cars on the street during the day and only bring them in before going to bed.
