Sir, with respect, to hell with the other car. You need to expand the shop to the other side, add a Bridgeport and a large work bench. Build a carport on the outside of the garage for the car.

Luckilly John i am surrounded by three walls single garage partitioned off at 12 foot ish.
When working on one of the lathes or mills, everything is within reaching distance and easy to spot.

Yep....nothing like a manual shop. Takes time, but I do still have fun.
Take care,
John

I have the same issue, my shop covers nearly 100% of the wall space, alot of the floor space and is even going across the ceiling. I actually made metal brakets to hold long material above the garage door so as it can still open.
I will make a video sometime and give my little tour.
