The tile used in Porsche showrooms is quite expensive. I was able to find it at about $10/sqft IIRC. I also used ceramic tile but went with a lower cost alternative in a similar gray colored product. I bought mine from buildirect.com. The biggest drawback is that it requires periodic mopping, particularly to remove dust/debris that comes with the car after driving in rainshowers.
oh well, it's better than spending all that time in bathrom putting on makeup like my wife.

Couple of Garages with different flooring. One has race deck which I have had for about 15 years and is a great product. Nice think about race deck is that if you move you can take it up and take it with you. Other floor is stained and polished concrete which has a nice look to it but is very easy to scratch because of the coating which I think is some type of sealant.

I used Tiles sandstone, it needs a little bit of washing, once a week i should say if you move the cars with bad weather, but i love the contrast. You can see on this pic

It will be worth it. It's only 10 min from home, and I'll be keeping it for a long time!

Rented an electric scissor lift. Rolled the bikes in the cage, lifted to the loft and rolled them onto the loft. You cannot see from the pics but both bikes are strapped securely to the floor with tiedowns because of earthquakes we have been experiencing the last couple of years here in Oklahoma.

I didn't think that thru enough when I rented the first one. This one being very close was key.

Thanks, the current place is great, except for 3 things. 1-it's a rental 2-it's too small (absolutely packed this winter and cannot do any work or anything on the cars) 3-too far from home.

Ducati 1199:
The Harley's in the loft are definitely garage queens (1972 XR750 and 1929 Board Track Racer) even though they both actually run. While I have several rideable bikes, I just cannot quite fit on today's bikes. Took the Ducati Ducati MH900E for a drive around the block and my neck couldn't quite handle the sitting position. Since you are a Ducati guy you undoubtedly have adjusted to this aggressive riding position.

Didn't a highly modded white 964 used to live in that garage also?
