PEX pipe - a 3/8" 100' roll will run you about $25 or $30 bucks.  PEX
can take freezing pretty damn well.  The amount of water in a 3/8"
pipe won't expand enough to burst the pipe so you only have to worry
about the fittings.

Sharkbite fittings - Google 'em.  You'll need to T into the existing
line and definitely install a shut off valve inside the house.

As far as the drain water, run it into a planter on the other side of
the garage wall.
