It's kind of true. 'Fiance' could be considered ambiguous (though it does commonly refer to a male specifically), whereas 'fiancee' would never be ambiguous. They are similar to 'actor' and 'actress' in that sense. 'Fiance' and 'fiancee' are borrowed from French, which is far less gender-neutral than English.

When I lived at home, at one point we had 5 cars and a boat for 4 people with a two car garage. Figure that out.

Then we sold one of the cars. Ha!

At my current house, my fiancée and I had 3 cars and a 1 car garage. Sold one, and now my car sits in the garage because I don't drive to work.

I think the solution is that you just have to move them around. It sucks, but that's the simplest and cheapest solution.

As in; "Seriously, is that true" I found it interesting. I didn't even realize there was two versions of fiancee.

Sorry, I guess in text it could have sounded a bit snippy.

I think we need a crude MS paint drawing of the area in question to fully devise a solution for you

My fiancé and I have one driveway (naturally) which holds two cars.

What have you done to combat the cars being boxed in? She prefers to drive he car and I prefer to drive mine. Any simple solution other than getting out and moving the cars every night/morning?
Leave your car in neutral, and equip your bumpers with these:
