Beautiful garages... but here's my question. Where in the hell do you guys put the rest of your garage ****? Bicycles for the family, lawn mowers, rakes/shovels, etc, etc

For me it works out because I have a 3.5 car garage, the portion you see is the back of the tandem portion where the 'vette will be parked. I can still fit both my other cars, kids bikes, lawnmower, and all the other crap that ends up in the garage in the front 2.5 stalls.

Just finished a 3-car detached and it's ready and waiting...

Is your car afraid of the wall? You are sure hugging that door awful close.

S.
What about the walls? Is the shiny lower section also epoxy or is it some kind of paneling? The concrete walls on my garage are the last detail I have to figure out before I get going on mine and I'm having a "insert 4 letter word here" of a time figuring out how I'm going to make them attractive.

Great minds think alike. We're also going grey/ black/red to match the cars. Floor and cabinets are coming next week plus a few hairbrainstorm ideas. The wife and I have been saying we're going to do it for a few years now and the new arrival is a great motivator.

My God that is one fine looking automobile. You know Carroll Shelby was just a Texas Chicken Farmer before he stuffed that 427 side-oiler in the Cobra. Now he's a fricking genius !!! Lesson One - you can't have too much engine in either a sports car or a fighter jet !!

Nice work. That looks great. Being a Jimmy Buffett fan, I like the pirate flag.

Here are a few old pictures of my garage. It has changed some since I took these pictures.
