If you do a search or search this forum in C5 General, you should find plenty of past threads with some great images of shops/garages. This gets asked frequently.
I bought a bunch of metal signs, mostly Chevrolet and Harley Davidson, but old gasoline signs look nice. You can find them on EBAY and several of the site supporting vendors sell them as well. You can find other sources with an internet search.
Here's one image of my current shop, 33' deep x 55' wide. This one is attached to the house. It's the biggest one we've built, but I share it with our daily drivers (they're never big enough). Gas furnace, security system, stereo, wash sink, 110v/220v, plenty of florescent lighting, refrigerator, lift, compressor, variety of shop equipment, lots of storage.
I chose to use a vinyl garage floor product in blue coin pattern in the industrial thickness. You can also get it in other patterns/colors and thicknesses. I didn't have the patience to wait on a professionally applied epoxy floor.

Drywalled our garage a couple of years ago, and added cupboards/storage, and plenty of lighting.
Used the Home Depot epoxy floor paint, looks good for a while, but needs re-doing every year or two to keep it looking good. I'm sure some of the more expensive methods are better for the long term.

Well done, well done! I like the highway line! Out of curiousity...what are the dimensions in your garage?

Oh yeah...I almost forgot. For the OP...check out garagejournal.com Look around in the gallery section for lots of ideas. Also, I would do a search on the flooring over there before you commit to a brand of epoxy. LOTS of info on that stuff over there.

Nah, just this one big kid! Gotta have one of every type ferrous and non-ferrous, tandem and singles. Aluminum, carbon fiber, scandium, titanium, steel. God knows you don't want to be seen riding a steel bike when the ride clearly calls for carbon fiber..... lol!!!!
