Custom Garages - I'm working on one...do you have one?

Well, with my Mini on its way I've spent the last week transforming our 3rd garage (1 car) into a home for my car. I'm putting the finishing touches on, and I'll post pictures when I'm done...


My questions to NAM; have any of you out there customized your garage to complement your car, your lifestyle, or anything in particular?

Not really custom but me and my dad have been working on it for a while now and we're just about done...

You are only limited by you imagination and budget. I did a two-part epoxy paint for the floor, semi-gloss paint for the walls (two-tone with a red band between) and some nice cabinets to hide stuff in. Of course there's the big red roll-away, work bench, and compressor.

Rule number one: The garage is for cars/motorcycles and those items required for their repair and maintenance. Garden tools and tractor belong in the garden shed, the basement is for storage.

Rule number two: If in doubt about what goes into the garage, see rule number one.

What makes it "custom" depends on what you like. I have a TV and a beer fridge. The walls are covered with large posters (mounted on foam board) of cars and bike I've owned (or would like to own).

1) We have no basement
2) We have no garden shed

Ipso Facto...we have one mother of a cluttered garage...but at least we can park all three cars in it so...

Sounds like what mine will be. Maybe instead of custom I should have said personalized
