Wow... a garage that's totally meant for cars.
Sweet. I wish I had that much room.

That looks like a nice CS coupe from (late 1960s?). My dad had one years ago. Sweet and rare car without all the RICER crap he threw on it.

I wish I had those tools, all he needs is a lift and he's all set.

put in a lift and replace the tile with checker-plate so you can weld in there and I'd love it

Nothing, great looking "Batmobile".

Ricer crap? Not a chance a very rare 3.0 CSL

Wow, that had to be expensive. I spent roughly $600, including carport matts. I'm guessing that job was close to $6,000 if not more.
-
I like the drip pan under the 911.
-
Way more than 6000$. The granite alone was a couple grand, as was the window. Figure 6$ a sqft for the floor tile, 10$ a sqft for the wall tile plus lighting. Nice garage, but he still has a crappy metal door on it.
-
Granite/ marble are really cheap in Portugal, you commonly see it in garages as well as foyers and some sidewalks.
-
It is 100-300$ a sq ft here, and this area is a granite producing area.

I've redone my garage in oil-stained concrete and cobweb plaster. It rocks.

I heard that those big doors were for cars...

so that was stock with the 3.0? My dad had a 2800 which had a more conventonal rear. Still, just my opinion, it detracts from the appearence particularly for a road car and without the racing fender work for the track YMMV.

How, exactly is a garage filled with tools and cars "ghey?"
I'd kill for a garage like that.
Partial to this shot, myself. :aok

It was his choice in 9mm's that decided it for me.......

I bet this owner has no clue on how to use all of the hand tools. You have THAT much money to throw at a garage, you have mullah to take it to a shop.

I like the Yellow F-40 myself.

Are garages meant to be that tidy? You could do open heart surgery in that place. Seems a bit obssessive to me.

How many garages does this guy have? Looks like at least two.
I do all of my automotive work in my brother's driveway, sometimes under a picnic canopy if we think it'll take more than an hour to do the job(s).
-
very ghey...
I mean c'mon.... a home garage that clean HAS to be ghey
...
-
whats the point of all those drawers when the wrenches are hanging on THE WALL?
-
I have two garages but neither one of them look like the one pictured here. I would love to have all the tools this guy has, assuming those drawers aren't holding his wife's shoe collection.
This really looks to me more like the garage of a guy who needs attention and affirmation as it does to someone who is actually going to turn a wrench.

Yeah I was gonna say, CSL is definitely not rice.
Although cars like the CSL and the M3 did inspire the Evo and the WRX.
-
Factory applied or not, THAT watermelon is rice.
-
Here is a picture of what I would consider to be the Ultimate garage, the entrance, anyway.

Naaah, it was completely functional. It's what they call a "homologation special". For FIA production based classes, you have to build a certain number of cars to qualify it as a "production car". And the bodywork and most of the mechanicals on the race car have to be the same as the production car. Instead of modifying a street car for racing, Enzo Ferrari figured out that it was better to design a race car first and modify it slightly to make it street legal. So every once in a while, a manufacturer takes a big risk and builds 500 or 1000 or even 10,000 cars which are basically street legal racers. They keep a few for themselves, modify them as much as they can within the rules, and usually kick some butt at the track. Some of the greatest performance cars were born this way - Ferrari 250 GTO, Chevrolet Camaro Z28, Ford Mustang GT350, BMW M3, Audi Quattro, Mitsubishi Lancer Evo, Subaru Impreza WRX, Lancia Delta Evo, Ferrari F40, Porsche 959, etc etc.

WOW
Put a 70" widescreen LCD on the wall there and you have a fancy driv-in :)
