Wow! I have been around almost 50 years and NEVER have I seen a one and a half car garage with a one and a half car wide garage door! Or is that a Hummer garage?

Thanks everyone! LexGrl.....my mods are pretty much complete (I will be changing to brighter & more powerful fogs in the next couple of weeks....ordered bulbs from Great Britian for both my Wife's Subaru & my ES & have to pick them up tonight at the post office) & then the car is exactly the way I want it.

Not much more I can do to the car anyways.....I have the AVS suspension option so one has to be careful with that.

Larry, beleive it or not it's actually a one and three quarter garage on the inside (20' x 17.5') with a one and a half door.....I liked it because out of 5 different builders in these parts, they were the only one's to offer that size (and the best builder of the bunch). My first choice was a double car with the one door.....but I can't complain about the amount of storage space I have. I even went to the extreme & got a 3/4 HP garage door opener (the most powerful you can get today) instead of the stamdard 1/2 HP.

I also have a special rail system (if you look closely in the pics) on the walls made by Rubbermaid to hang most of my tools & seasonal stuff & keep things off the floor.

Just put together my Rubbermaid 'Big Max' shed (7.5' x 7.5') a few weeks ago too for additional storage for bikes & sports equipment that my Son will no doubt use in the near future.....I'm so **** about being organized I can't even begin to tell ya lol.....what can I say? I have OCD.

Your ES is beautiful. Great job on the detail. I had to do a double take on your garage, the size is very interesting.

I need to repaint my hood, roof and trunk because the clear coat is peeling badly. Then I want to do a major detail on my 1996 ES 300...

Choas.....the wife drives a 2003 Forester XS with that HUGE sunroof.

When I traded my 2006 Forester XT Turbo in for my ES....I tood the Turbo's wheels & tires off & put them on her Subi (225 60 16's). You can't beat them in the winter.

I appreciate that felix!

I use to be a professional detailer many years ago & have used many different products over the years. These days I don't have the time to spend as I once did so I keep things very simple.....I use Meguiars products for the exterior (including wheels & tires) & interior (including the seats dash etc).

I only wax the car twice a year now....again no more time & the car is kept in the garage. Get yourself a set of Lexus all weather mats & some scotchgard to protect the carpet.

Those are HID's. The projector lights give that away...
