Since this picture, I put in a TV, fridge, heavy bag and got rid of the sofa. I also have some posters up and a bunch of pictures yet to be hung. This is the long bay



Must be nice to walking into the garage and have 1000 hp to choose from. Very nice!!!

Nice looking "homes" you guys have for the F....really like that one F clock!

You guys made some good points keeping the floor a lighter color, although i dont ever plan to do any work anymore in the garage, maybe just oil changes and brakes, but no more engine swaps, clutches, etc, too messy.

Here is mine. Moving into a newer bigger house by end of the year. I am looking forward to having a finished garage so I can do some shop like things.

my garage isn't even picture worthy. I could barely fit two cars in there... I need to gut it out, epoxy the floors and get some shelves up.

I spent 2 days painting my garage the same " pale beach sand" color as the interior of the house. I then dropped about $1800 for high gloss epoxy floors and chocolate brown cabinets to mimic the colors of the furniture inside the home. I wanted to feel like I was parking my car in the house. Added a bunch of pics I took myself at cars shows and a bunch of 20x30" track day pics peppered with HPDE certificates and some large track decals, some old framed magazine features for my GS350 and old G35, and .............BOOM!!

I get compliments from neighbors all the time and thumbs up from people driving down my street. Its great and its a bit of a conversation starter for people who visit or come to the home to service something . The wife thinks Im nuts but I know she secretly likes it.

Hell you people have a lot of bloody money.

Anyway, mine spends most of its park time at a very nice 100+ year old home belonging to my other in the NW burbs of IL. I may move in as well someday as she's pretty much handed over the garage. Good woman.

Nothing fancy, but I try to make the most of my little 20'x20' garage. On a daily basis, it holds two cars and a motorcycle, but it occasionally becomes a space for some "wrenching"

Sorry to go slightly off topic but I see your kid's Ferrari peeking out in one of the photos, I think I have the same one for my kid!

You've got that right
My 11 year old son has been a car nut for years and tells me about all the interesting/exotic vehicles he spots when out with Mom
