Default Custom garage

Has anybody dealt with these guys?
http://www.premiergarage.com

Care to share pictures of your custom garage?

They just started preparing the foundation on the new place and I've started dreaming up ideas for the 15'(?) ceiling 3-car garage. I'm thinking of light colored floors, stainless steel cabinets, 2-post Bendpak lift, and a huge Porsche logo painted on the floor in between the two lift posts.

Any advice on garage design ideas would be greatly appreciated!

As much as I love Porsches, I'd pass on the painted logo. In 15 years, your best buyer might be a ferrari guy. AS

agreed, if you want porsche stuff, hang it, but make the permanent stuff generic.

chances of the next owner being a porsche fanatic are rather slim? i really wanted to do either tiling, or something to my garage...

im looking for a solution that can be done in a day or so, and doesnt require my cars sitting outside at night.

can racedeck/etc be done in one day?

i wouldnt do too many male ego type mods to the house, after all when a couple goes house shopping, who does the decision making?

when a couple are looking at your house, you be nice to the man, but you try to sell it to the woman.

its usually quite the opposite at the porsche dealer.

bah, what is all this practical talk about?! You guys are of no help. I may just settle with hanging my 10' Porsche banner on the wall in front of the lift. Ah, but then where to put the plasma TV, hmm!

JAS I keep my cars in Connecticut houses. My apartment in NY has a 'secure' garage, but after seeing some pics on 6speed, i would NEVER use it.

i rent my 2 spaces to my neighbors for a hefty profit (suckers)
