Interesting video, and a lot has gone to make this happen... bit too much? Maybe...

Wow, I thought I was bad. I go into my car garage at least four times a day with the excuse just to look at my car! lol

I don't see anything strange or obsessive about that.

I'm surprised he didn't have a mirror on the bedroom ceiling...you know...so he can see the car. Wow, that guy takes OCD to a whole new level.

If I could build it all over again, I would have the wall adjacent to my study (garage) built of glass....I'm dead serious!

A decent car-guy to me. I would build a similar house if I have the financial resources. Well, just perhaps add more color to the all white interior.

Seems like a reasonable man that simply loves a work of art he can drive.

Now I can tell my wife I don't need a shrink after all. I can sit in the garage and admire my car for hrs.

But I think he's overlooked this one!
