Actually, the drive is the place to park the car or to access the facility in which the car may be "store"d, i.e., the garage. ;^)


******Von, Zed, is that usage peculiar to North Carolina and British Columbia since I've never heard the term used that way

....though "drive" is short for "driveway," used to mean a short paved road beside a dwelling, on which one is likely to park his car. Otherwise Laverne, who is much smarter than I, agrees we've never heard it used to mean a garage, etc
