Thats the way I am too. I told my wife that the only real say that I want in a new house is in the garage/shop.

 

Nice shop you got there. Those upper shelves though would be Hell here in earthquake country...all those bottles and cans hitting the floor. Out here the motto is "When in doubt lower the center of Gravity" Everytime I work on a car it's time to do the car shuffle. 5 cars, two driving teenage sons...at least I have a 3-car garage that holds 2 cars every night so I count my blessings.

 

Well i dont necesarily have a shop, but this is my dads place where i do all the work on my 924S...

 

Sigh!

Besides the hatch in the cargo area I do have a bit of the single car very narrow garage left where I can get to my old roll around tool box. The dead engine from the 83 sits next to it. Had to move out of a house with a double car garage a few years ago due to personal finances.

There is also a very narrow single car parking space in back that the wife parks in. I can use it when I have to but she really complains about having to park on the street. Nothing special about her 85 Corrola just that by the time she gets home from work the street is filled up. So she has to park a block away.

I'm now working on my next fortune!

 

When I bought my house it was a real fixer-upper throughout, so I've spent the better part of the last seven years remodeling, (living quarters first, though) doing all the work myself. One of the main reasons I bought it was when I saw the garage, and I had "visions" for what it was going to look like. It was just wall studs when I bought it, no insulation or drywall. Even though there is more to do in other parts of the house, I have taken somewhat of a "break" now that the garage is done because I've let the maintenance on the cars slide a little. Now I have a nice shop to work on them in and watch/listen to the Bengals lose while I'm doing it (the TV/stereo aren't shown in the pics). Now the garage is my living quarters. My Rennlist buds here in SW Ohio know it as the "Palacial Garage". Pardon the picture quality, they're analog, scanned in.

Nice garage Wade. You inspire me!

 

Well my garage is not nearly as impressive as some of the others in this post but it is a lot better than having to work in a parking lot as some of you poor sods have to do

 

OZ, don't worry, your car speaks more than your garage.........

 

Wade, awesome garage. I see why you chose that house.

OZ, need some tires?
