从《物权法》第74条看小区车位、车库的权属

我国《物权法》第74条明确规定了小区车位、车库在不同情况下的权利归属,但是仍存在一些争议：“首先满足业主的需要”的“首先”难以界定;权属约定难以真正实现;共有车库、车位中“其他场地”不明晰及“共有权”可能被侵犯。因此,要解决小区车位、车库的权属问题,首先要通过立法明确规定小区的法定车位;其次在配置一定数额的法定车库的基础上,制定相关政策鼓励开发商投建增设车位;最后还应明确《物权法》中对小区共有部分的界定。

GK模型

“GK”的全文是Garage Kit,原意是“车库组件”,因为西方人惯将车库作为工作房,而GK模型就是在这种地方诞生的。最初的GK模型只是一些玩家们自行创作的作品,造型细致度因人而异,通常都是ONLYONE,全世界只此一个。制作的素材(也就是原料)没有一定,黏土、石膏、木板、金属都可以拿来做,因此自制或自己少量生产的模型才叫GK。之后因为某些特殊成品很讨人喜欢,也就有了把它当成商品来出售的念头。卖着卖着,突然有天有两个家伙,他们同时看上了一件作品,有人就开始动脑筋复制GK模型,用翻模的方式!当时可能是使用石膏之类的材料来当作模版…
