Stay tuned!!!!

I'd say you got a good start with a nice looking car. Awesome wheels.

Wouldn't we all like to have a space like that. Are you sure that's 4600 sqft? Looks a bit less...

I've always wanted to do a car storage area/ man cave club. Cars parked inside with large LCD tv bar etc. To hang out in.

Looking for a place to move to in about a year that has a garage. Plan on putting up all my old Iron Maiden posters, getting a tool drawer thingy, mini fridge for my vodka, speakers for my droid. My car will be the only car allowed in it. The other 2 car stay outside.

I love it. I'm jealous.
My 911 is away for paint. I'm working on my Mini, trying to finish it before the 911 comes back. I never realized how big the garage looks with just the Mini and the 2002 in there.

I'm very envious. You've got a blank canvas to work with there. I could very well live in a shop/home. You're in a lucky place in life. Have fun & keep us posted.

I just checked my bank account tonight and someone has stolen my CC# and is charging about $50 at gas stations up around LA/Encino. Ugh. Yes, please post pics as you get this place set up!

Looks great. I have 1600s/f and filled that up within 1 yr. Not sure what I'd do with 4000+!
Where's the A/C? Don't see any ductwork...? |
