Ron,
Thanks for the oil change last weekend. Your garage is the best and cleanest I've seen in person and cleaner than my house. Excellent job.

Never heard of that door release issue before...thanks for the tip. I also have my garage door alarmed as an added security precaution.

Thanks for the excellent photos. In another thread I was telling a person that 24' was deep enough to allow plenty of space in front of the cars for work benches, your photo illustrated that perfectly!

Beautiful. I have a similar problem here in Indy. I live on 2 acres with a large creek passing my front yard. I have NO garage. I was informed that I am restricted to a 20 x 20 and I have to apply to the Dept of Natural Resources for a building permit. I was thinking of going with 13' ceilings and buying a 4 post lift, but I really like your design. I was told it would not be difficult and it would be approved in 2 weeks. That was 8 weeks ago! Now I'm going to have to hire a zoning attorney and have him get me a permit. That sux.
P. S. Just wondering how your lift equipment is going to do in the winter?

I never knew about the handle issue on the garage door release until I saw a guy on a security show open the garage door with a coat hanger looking thing in about 3 seconds! Boom he was in the garage, alarm may go off but he had a good 2-3 minutes to take the car.

Alarm goes off he has about 15 seconds before he will be DODGING .45 hollow point rounds instead of driving away with a DODGE! Make my day/night!

Hold on guys...I got some pics of my garage coming..I think you'll like them.

I've been waiting to post some pictures of my garage. I've been working on it hard for almost 2 years. Here are the first pictures that I'm putting out there. Some of them appear a bit light and the lighting in the garage is actually more of a dim, mood lighting, however, being an amateur photographer, it's the best I could do. The garage is set up to hold a maximum of 12 cars. In it's current configuration, it will hold 8 cars, plus a full sized Seagrave Fire Truck Pumper plus the play area which you'll see below.
The coffee table is an Alfa Romeo 1300 CC engine (my first car) with a piece of glass fitted to the top.
The garage is large enough so that I have to take several angles to get everything in. Here it is looking from east to west. On the right is the 1958 Seagrave V-12 Fire Truck. On the left bottom is a 2003 Black SRT-10. Above it, a 2001 Silver Prowler. In front of them is a 1941 Chevy Street Rod. It's a mid engine rig with a lawn mower engine up front as a goof. Above it is my first Snake, a 1995 RT-10.
Here's a shot looking west to east.
And another from a slightly different angle.
As you walk out the door from the house, you are faced with both the play area and two cars. Until I bring a Comp Coupe home, the person exiting the house is faced with a 1959 El Camino (348 tri-power / 4 speed stick / power seats / P.S. / factory A.C. etc) and a 1980 Ferrari which I've owned since 1981.
Not pictured here are a 1963 Jaguar XK-E Coupe, a 1960 Plymouth Belvedere, and a 1968 Chevy 396 SS conv. w/ 375HP.
I purchased a 6 foot tall and 8 foot wide Mobil porcelain pegasus and had a neat neon job done to it. It hangs in front of one of the cars.
Finally, I finally tracked down several "Viper Parking" signs from various VOI's through the years. I'm still operating on the theory that Maurice took them.
I want to thank Chris (Y2K GTS) for posting the shots on his club's website. Hope you guys like them. I have no wife telling me when to stop spending money. I have the feeling that I may not be done yet :>

[******] Russ,
I wanna do whatever it is you are doing for a living. Holy Christ. You spent more on that garage than a lot of people do on their homes, cars not included.
I was thinking of going with some car stackers as I have a 4 car garage that won't fit any more cars, and we have 5 cars, a motorcyle, a jetski (soon 2) and other toys. No room!

Thanks guys.....I appreciate the compliments. I'm still not done out there. I wish that I had taken some better shots showing the cars and layout better. If any of you guys are building a new house or garage, let me know. I learned a lot of things to do and a lot of things NOT to do in construction.

Russ, beautiful garage. I'm planning a garage now and will be contacting you. By the way, what is your ceiling height? Thanks

Russ,
Have you ever priced out putting in an underground game room type thing -- 20X50 feet or so, maybe 10 to 12 feet high so we can shoot pool. I have this huge side yard that I will be concreting to place my boat and other things at, and was thinking it would be cool to have under that, the game room. I'm limited for space on where I could put an underground room, and i have run out of space in my garage for my cars, so I need to use the one space I have left, for both. I have no clue what something like this would even cost. Any ideas?

I hereby nominate Russ for the new Jerry deYoung garage award. AND the guy has like every car I ever wanted to own in there too. Wait a minute, what does the house look like? Can you take Jerry there too? We need house pictures!

Lee, believe me when I tell you that getting those parking signs were my prized possessions. I worked quite hard (and stayed up very late in both Las Vegas and St. Louis) knowing that someday I'd have those in my garage and be able to show all the guys how it came out. I'd post the house but the site monitors would say that it's not "on subject." Would it matter if I slept in my Viper? I would if I could.

Really nice! I spent 32 years in the fire dept. and the first engine I ever drove was a 58 Seagrave. It had a 590 Hall-Scott engine wiith dual ignition and the biggest Holley carb I have ever seen. At night you should have seen the flames coming out of the exhaust! Brings back memories!
