It must be murder driving that 458 up and down those steps everyday..

Seriously beautiful work on those garages....the interior 4-wheeled accessories aren't bad either!

I am very grateful for the things I have in life. And I lust for the things I will never have. That is beautiful.

Really nice but its more of a museum/showcase than a man-cave IMHO.

My definition of a man-cave is a bit different - lifts, tools, stuff hanging off the walls, oil-stains on the floor, welders, lathes, milling machine, grinders, polishers, wheel changer/balancer, etc. Stuffed full with tools, fools and projects. I my cave, I would not be afraid to drop stuff on the floor nor bang up the walls .. but that is just me.

Your finishing work looks better than most houses - the elevator that drops the car, is that a storage pit or is there more underground?

I am not too much for all the wood inside - I like contrasts between wood/stone/smooth surfaces, and that area will take a lot of lighting to make it bright enough to work - but I guess that is not the point. The outside of the garage looks fantastic.

Cheers,

Mike

This garage is amazing! My man-cave would need place where I could play
with the cars too, not just park them..Lift, tools, shop bench, compressor,
parts shelves, and not forgetting: a couch, racing simulator rig with
hydraulics and 3 screens, fridge....etc..

I was thinking the same thing!

Very, very nice, but I too would need a workshop.

Beautiful house.
