The guy who owns the Neon is not the owner of the house & garage. His parents do and it was his Dad's idea to do the garage. He mentions that in his writeup. And I think it's pretty good for a kid to own a brand new car, whatever it is.

What I want to know is how much that garage cost? I'm guessing it was built at the same time the house was. But for the garage alone I'm thinking ummm $300,000? Does that seem too high or low?

naw can't be that high, if it were built same time as the house maybe 50k? or even less. but if it were built after and the basement were already in the right spot right below the garage probly around 100k.

Thats nice but i would have to add a few things to make it my dream garage!! My dream garage would include a full complement of tire/wheel accessories (sp) from the mount/remove tire machine, to the highspeed balancer, to those racks that hold the wheels. All with the aircompressor, a lift everything!!!!

I would have 2-3 sets of wheels for every car, then just go in my garage and have the in house guys switch them, mount balance tires etc. Just imagine, driving home you get a flat, pull into YOUR garage and have some take your wheel off with the airgun, dismount the old tire, go get a new one(which you would have in STOCK), mount it balance it etc.

I could just see my brother coming over every 2 days to get wheel work done.

PimP!!
