Thinking about getting another C3..
The only reason that I haven't pulled the trigger yet is space 
Don't want to store any of my cars away from my house and my garage is full...
Gonna get some quotes on how much it would be to extend the size of my current garage...
The only problem with that is that the extra garage will cost me the $ (actually probably more) than what I'd spend on the C3... So, looks like I'll have to wait either way...

if i lived down there, i'd help u out and build something..... the foundation/concrete might cost a chunk but to frame up and do a typical garage, you can do it in 2-3 days..... not hard at all..

I have a large 2-car garage right now (which is kinda small for a 3000 sq/ft home)
I'm looking to only add a large 1-car garage...

I just saw an ad in the paper today for 2 companies that were offering to build 2-car garages (concrete slab, doors, and roof included) for $7K.
I don't know if you're in a hurricane recovery area, but it may not be as much as you think.

That's what I did. .....$2.5K is alot cheaper Oliver 
Besides that, as much as you work on them, I'm sure you need a lift anyway

here's a old pic of my house (before I bought it)
The space is very limited.. there's a 10 foot easment from the sidewalk which will only leave space for a 1 car garage, directly attached to the house. I'll actually have to mesure how much space I'll have to see if it'll fit at all without crossing the easment line...

You might want to check your town code. My ****ty town has me going to court for working on my car, no unregistered cars outside. CEPT they give you 60 days to work on one!
Anyway they also restrict a how many car garage for residential.
No point in doing all this planning if they won't give you the permit.
