As we walk into a converted warehouse near downtown, with its polished concrete floor and ultra clean lines, builder Chris Fry says, "Welcome to the ultimate man cave - a big boys playhouse."
This museum garage houses nine collector cars; mostly vintage, mostly Porsches and each worth at least six figures.
Fry points to a 1967 Fastback Mustang, prized because everything from the paint to the interior is in original mint condition.
His company, Dovetail Builders designed and created this space in about 6 months. Fry says, "Car guys come in, polish the cars, talk about the cars & look at buying new cars."
Among all these, the showcase car is Hybrid Porsche 918 Spyder.
The price tag is more than a million dollars. The "liquid silver" paint color alone is a $64,000 option. The car goes from 0 - 60 miles an hour, in two point five seconds.
Its showcase glass doors mimic a Matchbox toy box cellophane window.
Pointing to the super luxury super high performance car, Fry jokes, "If you were a giant, this would be your little matchbox car."
The owner can also rock out to a Macintosh sound system but there are no captain's chairs here. Instead Fry points to chairs which are in fact car seats from vintage Porsches with the correct vintage upholstery.
The attention to detail is everywhere, including the paint colors, which are Porsche paint colors. Symmetry is key from the lighting to the carefully spaced nails on the stair case.
In the corner is a vintage Coke machine that dispenses bottled beer instead of bottled sodas.
There is also a toy race track, a pint sized copy of California's famed Laguna Seca race course.
It's all a play land for owner. Fry says, "His motto is work hard and play harder."
