Pretty much the typical stuff: tools, bicycles, ladder and both cars.
Something that's somewhat common here are people converting their garages into living spaces and parking their cars not just in the driveway but also the street and also their yard.
We have a garage that's more than 400 square foot, both our cars are cross over vehicles, not the smallest nor the largest vehicles. When we first moved here, I only had 1/2 the garage cleared out for her car but a hail storm came and I cleared out the other half of the garage in record time to get my car in there too.
Water heater, two storage shelves (one for car wash chemicals and the other for household paint, caulk, etc..), a 10 ft work bench, bicycles, riding mower, weedeater, leaf blower, pressure washer, tool box, bicycles, coolers, a large refrigerator, a large dog kennel, and a 4 seater Polaris RZR.
We don't park in the garage because neither of our vehicles are short enough to get in and close the garage door. The new house we are considering has an oversized garage on the house and a detached. We should be able to get my wife's Expedition in the new one while all of the other stuff makes its way to the detached. Unfortunately, my truck won't fit under the door in either of them.
We have a carriage house. The hayloft was converted to an apartment, but that is not permitted (so I put my office up there when I worked from home).
Technically the part that is not part of the entry to the office upstairs is a three car garage. We have one car in there (a project 1973 Jensen Healey). We also have two torpedo heaters, four ice chests/coolers, two tents,, seven air mattresses, three canoe paddles and four kayak paddles, air compressor, six halogen work lights, 15 or so various garden tools, chain saw, riding mower, trimming mower, sports equipment, grinding wheel, chop saw, air tools, lumber for various projects. Assorted doors and windows that will be used in our house, in the tree fort or donated soon. Antique maple flooring to be used in the office entry, pool equipment (heater, pump, salt chlorinator, chemicals, and mist skimmers and things), misc camping gear, hunting bow and crossbow, metal shelving hosting a hardware store worth of fasteners, hooks, etc., wooden shelving hosting a hardware store of electrical components, spare parts for unique left overs from our house (antique tile, molding, wood flooring hinges, doorknobs, etc), two tubs of plumbing parts (this should be pitched, but has value, so I want to find someone who can use it), snow blower, sail and rudder for the sunfish, fishing poles, 8 bicycles (winter only), storm windows, a sink, various power tools, a pump and hoses, lawn and garden chemicals, bicycle parts (mostly inner tubes), dog toys, shoes for the shoe drive, readymix, antique light fixtures (to be installed upstairs in the office), a 1906 automatic flush toilet waiting to be restored, a 1927 Magic Chef 1000 being restored, kerosene for the heaters upstairs, painting supplies (not paint, we learned to put that in the basement), two power trimmers, two toboggans and four sleds, boogie boards, an electric scooter . . . that is all I can remember. Why do you ask?
As of today one car has been evicted and the ducklings have moved in. They outgrew their previous quarters but aren't quite ready to go outside full time so they are making their home in their new duck chalet in the garage.
In a couple of weeks I can move them out and my car back in, meanwhile its relegated to the driveway.
2 project cars and all the tools and supplies necessary to work on said project cars. Daily drivers sit outside.
