Default Garage Pictures

I recently "finished" remodeling my garage to match my car so I thought I would share some pictures. I would be interested to see some of the work others have done to get some additional ideas to keep tweaking...

Wow, now that is a sweet “motorplex”. By the way I like the plate on the turbo S.

By the way, for those that have never epoxy coated a floor, it is very easy. No reason at all to be intimidated.

If you ever start feeling like you're doing okay in life, all you have to do is look at garage photo threads on Porsche or Ferrari forums to realize you're actually still a joke-tier peasant.

No fooling Skwerl. I know I am only pretending to be well off enough to own one of these things with no thought about what I might have to spend on it.

That's probably why my garage looks like a garage you would see in a sixties horror flick with some dude wielding a chainsaw chasing down a bunch of teenagers.

That's also why I will be doing as much as I can on my own, save state inspections and alignments, in my less than pretty garage. It's outfitted pretty well with a press, hoist, a quickjack, jackstands, jacks, various fluids and parts, several tool chests filled with tools and most importantly for the winter with a kerosene heater, but it is not very pretty. I just recently got rid of the door on saw horses with a wheeled table/cabinet that cleaned things up, but I have a way to go to get it where I want. My biggest problem is my 25 year old roller seat is giving up the ghost and I haven't found a replacement that I like as much as this POS from some FLAPS that I think isn't even around anymore, at least that won't cost much!!!!!

Looks awesome dude, great job...mine looks like an unfinished cubby hole with surfboards and fishing poles everywhere...lol. But I do need to make room for a certain 365 lb., 234 H.P. two wheeled beast that is going to arrive in March...kinda funny that my 700 H.P. 997 TT will be the 2nd fastest vehicle in my closet of a one car garage..

That is from a Motorplex in MN. Pretty normal thing over there. It is like a gated housing development buy minus the houses.

Wish we had something like that in Seattle are a but the overall car culture pretty much sucks around here!

Skewrl-Agreed, no use trying to keep up with the Joneses

Ed-sounds like your garage is all “Go”, whereas mine is all “show”. I need to evolve mine to be as functional as yours...these will be some of my next steps.

Rodeo-let us know more about the little beast you are getting

TTG-make sure to post your pictures once done

Quote for truth! For that matter, I got 3 freakin' sets of tires/wheels that take up a lot of space....argh! (First world problems)
