IMHO a room crammed to the rafters with autoexotica would not be a dream garage.
My dream garage would have space to actually work on the cars. Cars should be driven and therefore need service.

Also my favorite. There is NOTHING wrong with parking in the living room.

You are correct about "garage" term ! If I have a garage I need at least one lift, air compressor, big case of Beta tools and some stereo

In re-review I'm trying to figure out the 3 Ferraris in the plain plywood sack.

(That one just has to be a work in progress... I hope.)

Some nice man caves here. This one belongs to Richard Griot, the owner of Griots Garage (www.griotsgarage.com). I had the opportunity to take a tour last year. He practically built his home around the garage and it is packed with every toy and tool a car enthusiast could ask for: lifts, gas-pressurized doors (very quiet), lighting built into the floors, a massive wall of toolboxes, large workbenchs, engine lift, etc. Thanks for the inspiration.

...and a bare concrete floor...WTF!



Also, I've never understood why some of these people just buy one of everything new at the local exotic dealerships. Not much taste, IMHO. Now if I had that kind of $$$...

You need to move North out of Cheshire to get a garage and some space.

Arcade? Chase HQ is where it is at! I wanted an R360 a few years ago but the voice of reason said no as we needed a dining table to eat at.....

Me too Lonnie. Maybe sell one of the cars and finish the garage out?
