I like white, but having four white Porsches wasn't intentional. Cayman R was already built, and we bought new, and I like that color best for that car. I wanted white for the GT3, and still prefer that color for that car. 991.2 cab and TTS were bought used, and they happened to be white. If I could build to my preference, the cab would be a darker color and the TTS would be silver, but I like them in white too (otherwise, wouldn't have bought them).

@Richris1 Congratulations the shop looks good. Don't forget about water mitigation off that roof! ...in a big downpour, you will be shocked at how much water a roof guides to the downspouts and then overflows downhill. Normal soil absorbs a lot of the water until fully soaked and the ground becomes like a sponge, but the roof is zero absorption!
I have posted pictures of my shop, but my large roof section is 28.7' X 120' pitched at 20 degrees with 4 downspouts, BUT with that much roof and a big rain, well...I had to make improvements. My state does NOT allow me to catch even rain water for re-use!!

Advanced
Did you install the mini split? If so, what did you go with and how does it perform for you down here in S FL?

Big *** fans?
Are big *** fans worth the price or are there better options for the money? I've had a couple guys recommend them, but I can't help but wonder if they are more name than substance? Any first hand experience with them and are there better options for the money?

Same with the lights, I bought the most highly rated lighting I could, and also commercial grade bulbs (from Stadium Lighting Company) - so I would not have to try and replace anytime soon.
We built the garage to match the outside profile of our house, as much as it looks cool, being so tall with the lights and fan, makes any maintenance if anything were to fail a huge pain.

Used to work for them. They are the real deal. Depending on the space you are trying to work with make sure you get the proper one for your situation. Feel free to PM me and I can help.

I’ve got 5 of them, in the sheds, pool storage, some other small rooms outside. Only clean the filters once a year.
Either AC it or everything rusts and molds.
Only have them two years, will see how they hold up..

Nothing too crazy here just yet.
Finally got my new garages built this past winter.
Large Double bay, large single bay.
Huge work bench the length of the garage. Redid the kitchen and used all of the old cabinets to get ample storage space.
I ran 220v to each side of the double bay side for future EVs/PHEVs. Just in case. Also ran it to the area I'm putting air compressor. Still have to get my lift, so I can get both the R8 and the RS in the same bay, but for now, I finally got the RS out of winter storage and moved into the new digs.
The mini-split is the absolute best. Keeps the garage at a nice 63*. I need to put one in my other set of garages too. The best thing about them is it just keeps the moisture out of that cold air.
Still a lot to do out there to get it all set up and finished. But at least the cars in there!
