took the words right out of my mouth ... a garage is something you work in, and not just display things.

Umm... if you look through the thread in its entirety you'll find that a good number of the garages have more tools then many of us on here. Sure there are a few museum-esque ones but don't hate because you don't have! lol

And those aren't encyclopedias, most top car magazines (i.e. Cavallino) offer cloth bound boxes to hold a years worth of magazines so they are organized annually.

some really awesome work spaces in there. i dont care too much for the showroom type ones, but ill highlight a few of my favs.



this one is just gorgeous in its simplicity. i imagine i would have it filled with rotaries and rally cars. my two passions



this one barely needs explanation. a race shop filled with porshces that are prepped to be used for their intended purpose (racing). heaven!



and this one because it has almost all of my favorite super cars. GT3 RS, Ferrari F40, Carrera GT...the only cars missing, lotus Exige, something i can rally with and something wankle powerd. but selling one of those F40s, or whatever those cars are on the hoists could easily solve that problem. lol.

i can dream cant i?!?! haha.

I'm pretty sure the one on the far left is an F50, and the one in the middle is an F40. One up on the hoist looks like a 360.

Mind you, you could probably add the Exige and the rotary powered vehicle of your choice (short of a 787B or something) for the cost of a scheduled maintenance on the Ferrari's...

ah true. i fail at details. lol. the f40 and f50 look similar from the back at a glance. I have no interest in the f50 or that 360 on the hoist. so they could both go. lol. i wonder what car is above the f50 though

I really can't tell what's above the F50. Really hard to tell. I want to say a Lamborghini. but the picture qualtiy doesn't give me enough.

Nothing wrong with the F50. I actually prefer the Ferrari's with the normal stick shift. I hate the fact that they're all moving to a paddle shifters.

Funny enough, I don't see any garages with Pagani's.

Actually we just finished a custom home with a garage similar style to that, with 4000sq/ft+ just on the garage... and trust me you don't want to see the bill, just the materials and all those high tech equipments alone is 100k+ Canadian.

Humility is a boon ...

Pretty mind blowing, reminds me of that old saying, as far as a car guy is concerned,
the house is the building that's attached to the garage.
I like the "garage" w/all the supercars in the underground lair -- kind of like something an evil villain from a 007 movie might have... The underground lair "garage", in particular, makes me think of Blofeld, plotting some evil world domination scheme with some white long haired cat in his lap...
Seriously, what do these guys do for a living I wonder?
Actually this question dovetails nicely into the absence of tools in some garages -- whatever they do, realistically, most of these guys probably did not get rich spinning wrenches. Seriously though, my hat is off to one and all -- true "Garage Mahal"s. Fabulous... No sour grapes here, just humility ....

"garage mahal" nice! the car above the F50 looks like a Ford GT to me, but that is kind of at odds with the rest of the cars in the garage.
