Lol IDC about my garage floor, it's fine. There's some leak stains but none from my cars. They're very very well set in and it's a minimal amount so it doesn't matter.

I wouldn't care either if it weren't flaking up and tracking everywhere. In my townhouse I had indoor/outdoor carpet in the garage, I might do that again. Issue with all these garage flooring solutions is they are expensive. Whatever I choose will cost at least $1,500-$2,000, and I know epoxy floors sometimes lift and cause problems too. I will probably do something like swisstrax over top of whats there and then it also will help with water drainage:



Even that though, just DIY its well over $1,000.

I like it but I wouldn't spend that amount of money for it if it weren't for this problem lol

Drainage from the cars after it rains or snows

Black carpeting might solve that problem....or at least hide it in terms of appearance.. But if mold and mildew starts to develop under the carpet, then that's another story.

In other news I ran around my old Alma Mater today and was right behind and then beside a brand new black Autobiography Range Rover for about 5 minutes, and I must say...damn. Impressive. The new tail lights that looked sort of weird look GREAT in person.

Yeah its a pretty impressive vehicle in person. They are very smooth and minimalist and the build quality is really great.

I'd have a pretty hard time coping with the mess that might be under those tiles. Is there any such solution that is relatively easy (i.e. not as time consuming as I think it'll be) to lift for a cleanup? If there is, that's a killer setup for "hobby" detailing (some of us go to... excessive... lengths )

You just spray it out, no need to take them up. They have channels that let water flow down underneath and out of the garage.

When we were house shopping (10 years ago at this point), we ran into a couple houses with porcelain tile on the floor. That's something I'd love to do, just don't have the commitment.

Not so much for them as much as for when we carry people AND them. Really what we need is the space for travel because we take so much with us, and the dog.
