Burning Brakes
My modest little collection. While not that of a hyper car collection of a oil prince it will do for a hard working American boy with two girls in college. Will post pics of garage later. Your usual Rotary 4 post lift and checkered epoxy floor with your usual smattering of car posters. Oh, subtract the Cobra from the collection and substitute this. "Tigger" incoming!

Cobra sold already? If not, let's talk.

That is my New Year's Resolution...I will be looking to do the same this summer. Final step, and the remodel that was otherwise finished 5 years ago will be complete. It is going to involve re-grading to make it more front-spoiler-friendly, which will involve the City and local commission, neighbors, etc. hence the procrastination. I would be thrilled if it is $9.50/sq ft as indicated by autobahnA8...but that seems too low...less than concrete from my recollection.

I dislike cast pavers which just look 'artificial' to me. Since a big part of the cost is labor, I'd stretch for either brick or Belgian block. A look I really like, which saves money, is to make the actual drive part two parallel strips with grass in between.

Btw, is there any difference between pavers and cobblestone? Or is cobblestone a type of paver? Is one better than another?

I did a little research and I think it's gonna be more than $9.50 a square foot installed for nice pavers around here in Nor Cal, cheaper for brick, more for cobblestones. Well worth it though.

"Pavers" as we know them here are cast colored concrete, cobblestones are usually actual stones like you'd see in Europe, granite/basalt. Pavers are usually set on sand with some portland cement over a compacted base and I see go for about $15-22/SF, it's a lot of prep. Great looking and the patterning hides stains, but it might need resetting depending on slope and water running under them and eroding the base.
