It looks awesome. I would love to do that to my garage floor but the house is 50 years old so the cement flooring has cracks and some broken spots. Can this stuff go right over it or do i have to repair the floor first?

You can lay it right over the cracked garage floor.
However, if the "broken spots" are indented or uneven by more that 1/8 inch, I would think you would want to patch or fill in the indentations. If you don't, I think the tiles may crack because they don't have complete support under the entire tile.
I am not a structural engineer, nor did I ever play one on TV, so this is just a my opinion and is not intended to be a recommendation about the condition of your garage floor.

Looks fantastic Tim! I did the same thing a few years back. I went with Race Deck and absolutely love it. Glad I didn't go the epoxy route as this has much more "personality" to it. Just back the cars out every couple weeks, sweep, mop, and she shines

Wow! Nice Tim (And Dell)! I did the tile floor a few years ago, covering a horrible peeling concrete mess. Now I get compliments on the floor all the time (as you will I'm sure)!
Your wife suggested you get MORE tool cabinets? She is AWESOME!

Looks great Tim! Seems like everyone has the same taste in colour combinations. Here's mine; I also went with a more affordable version of the Race Deck concept. Local Toronto company (www.fastflor.com) where I could fit everything I needed in the back of my FX35. Looks great after 3 years and only requires a quick mop after the winter to get rid of the dirt.

Great job Tim! I guess this means your not coming back to Texas...you know floor tiles are a pretty strong statement to stability! Sorry to hear about your back.
That's a problem. I had the race deck and poked holes in the tiles with floor jacks. Have to place a piece of plywood under any jacking devices. I got tired of that and gave them to a buddy for motorcycle storage.

Looks awesome! Now u got me thinking about this myself. I have a G35 that leaks a bit of oil and was wondering how easy it is to clean up oil spills from this floor.
