Thought of a few more items:
1) I pulled speaker wires so I can have a good sound system eventually ( make sure you use speaker wires that are rated for running inside walls.
2) Pulled cable - for an eventual flat screen TV.
3) Added blocks between rafters where I thought I would hang cabinets, tire rack, mount speakers, TV etc. I think it's easier to hang stuff after the fact especially if you are off .5 inches on framing as I am sure I was in a few spots.
4) GFI outlets outside- I tried to eliminate extension cords
5) Interior outlets about every 4 feet. code in CA requires outlets to be 48" from floor- if I could I would have done 48" and 18" from floor.
6) I bought a security system from Costco- installed cameras front and back of garage. Will also have a camera inside . Plan on having all wires terminate centrally located( speakers, cameras, recording unit, stereo receiver in a tall cabinet. Everything will be neatly placed and hidden in an enclosed cabinet.
7) Do not have compressor built in, but if I did I would run airlines in walls and have nipples every four feet eliminating air-hose tangles
8) I used Hardyboard siding outside- fireproof and termite proof. expensive but matched my house.
9) considering motion senser switches so lights come on when I walk into garage.
