the Vette is the only car kept in the garage. I need the rest of the space for tools and other toys
I keep a pc in the garage, several guitars, and weights so it is basically my "man room". 
mine is insulated and has its own heat pump for heating/cooling. I try to keep it between 65 and 72 all year around.

I did mine for the oppsite reason - to keep the heat out but it also keeps it warmer in the winter.
I bought the 4x8 sheets of the double sided aluminum foil with foam in the middle. I think it was 3/8" think. I cut each piece to fit and then used the aluminum foil tape to seal each panel off.
I did a 16x8 and an 8x8 for less than $80.
