The "push out" project was undertaken to store my father's '63 corvette. While I can now fit 6, getting the cars in and out is a bit of a PITA - with that being said, I'm glad they all fit. My daily driver (Evo 9) parks right in front of the lifts - so kids and wife stay keep to the closet spot, away from lifts.
Daily driving an Evo9 is pretty hard core. For that I give you 👍🏻
I like what you've done with the garage making lemons out of lemonade. Sometimes the cities make building what you want incredibly tough.

Not going to lie, mighty jealous of that worn freezer cabinet deal you have going on. Excellent work.

Thanks, m3irish and Sctanton.

I love my evo 9 - you cannot beat the performance value, all while fitting 3 kids in the back seat! With a mild tune and a few bolt ons, it is an absolute rocket. Also, with winter tires, it turns into a snowmobile; and with the wing removed, it is stealthy. I have grown to appreciate feeling every pebble in the road and its rental car interior (and my wife's unsolicited "analysis" of the suspension every time she sits in the front passenger seat).

Little help please! TIA

I have a "car barn" on first floor I can comfortably put 4 cars (more like 6 if more aggressive). Their is a mezzanine level over 1/3 of the space that has a great seating area around large TV, a bar, bathroom, large humidor and wine area. I did not design the space, but am a happy 2nd owner.

above the cars we have a huge ceiling....like 30'. Are there any car lift/vertical storage systems that are attractive vs just functional? The place is more like an entertaining man cave then garage and I don't want to ruin the aesthetics. But I need space for another few cars? thank you

Check out American custom lifts - they have some nice stuff. I have two of their single post lifts.

texascarlover, that's awesome! Love the concept and the overall design. I've always thought that car lovers should have beautiful cars somewhere in the house, just like other items of art and decoration.

texascarlover, I think you should invite us - all of us - over for a beer. That is perfection right there.

My 2018 GTS arrives around 8/11. If you are in the Houston area, I would love to host for beer/coctails. The only ticket to invite is bring your Porsche.

I didn't show you the whole thing. Check out the door to the restroom:
