What Is A Garage, Anyway?

Alan Moore explains that garages evolved with the automobile, especially as automobiles became a prominent part of American lives. Initially, they had to be large because cars did not have reverse gears so the structures had turntables -- can you imagine!  What a cool thing that would be now! Then I could always pull into and out of the space without looking behind me. Super good, and really keen!

The early garages were modified structures from other uses to accommodate the automobile. Although interior details have changed to include garage door openers, lighting, shelving, doors into the house, the garage itself has not changed much since the mid-1950s. It's a shame in a way, wouldn't you want a turntable in your garage?
