Well, the previous "My Garage" thread was shut down, so I couldn't add to it. About a year ago, I showed my leaning, cramped, ageing garage behind our house that was stuffed full. The Pantera was swapping space with another car or two, and well, my wife felt like after 3 years of being outside, her new car should get a spot. So...

I got a small, abandoned building downtown near work. Did some cosmetic things to it, plus bathrooms and all that. I'm not fully moved in, and they're to repaint one side of the floor so stuff is in disarray. But ONE PERSISTENT PI MEMBER NAMED JEFF UDELSON WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, kept egging me on to snap a photo.

So, here's where I get therapy. Add your stuff to this, as we all air out our car(s) for spring...

The one that this board is probably most fond of, and my sentimental favorite...

Beautiful!!! applause

PCNC member Bob Benson did the same thing; bought an industrial building that used to be a machine shop (excellent lighting throughout) and performed a similar cosmetic restoration, added cabinets, lifts, bathrooms, entertainment room, and lots of vehicles.

Someday...

Adams,
I now have "Garage Envy" I would kill to have that much space to work on my Pantera. The only problem I see with the additional Italian cars is that not one is the correct color for any sports car ......

Old enough to know better and still young enough not to care.

Wow! Nice score Adams! I trust that for tax purposes, this is where you do some of your best "ideating" and thus the entire endeavor is a write off.

As far as "correct" colors go, it looks like the horsey at the end is dark blue? If so, very nice. If not, you can always re-paint as it is terribly redundant to have TWO horseys in black. Smiler

I think that you should park your wife's Viper in a different area because it's a bit too girly with those macho arse-engined cars. Big Grin
