I just need to make some decisions and live with them.



Now that's a p.i.m.p. Garage!! Very nice! Maybe :santa: will bring me one! (I wish)

Wow that is one nice garage you got there,cpu77. Mine isn't nearly as attractive as yours on the outside.Mine is kind of plain jane on the outside but it's big and roomy on the inside and that was my main concern,due to limited funds.Also,that's why I went with sheetrock,it was about the cheapest wall covering.Eventually it will get dented or holes poked in it but oh well,it's easy enough to patch.Unfortunately,this is the only pic I have of the outside of my garage.It's 30x40 w/12' ceiling.

Hey guys thanks for the compliments!

Drywall is still on my list maybe a combo for the reasons you mentioned. The 12' ceilings kinda suck to put drywall up. I got a price to drywall the garage. I hate drywalling! THe guy wanted $5500! I thought hell no. So if I do drywall I will probably be doing it myself THe one good thing doing my garage this way it's all paid for. Just gets a little tiresome screwing with it when I have so much other stuff going on. So got any better pics of the GN's? The GN and the 03 cobra have one thing in common. They both go like stink for a little money! What is the price for a nice GN now adays?

I agree drywalling sucks.Me and 1 friend hung the drywall by ourselves.I rented a drywall lift to do the ceiling.It only went up to 11' 6" so I made a jig with some 2x6s to make it reach 12' We didn't have any staging,we worked off a plank going across 2 ladders.
I don't have many pictures of the GNs.I lost a bunch when my computer crashed last year.A collector car GN with almost no mileage goes for $20-$30k,most others go for $10-$15k depending on the condition of the car and mods.Up here in the northeast GNs don't fetch as much $$ as other parts of the country.Someday I will get a good price for my GNX clone.I had an offer to trade it for a 01 ZO6 (about $32k value) but my car has a couple issues I need to straighten out before I part with it.Real GNXs are currently going for $75-$100k.Maybe someday I can trade my clone for a black Cobra.

I dont even bother trying to get my truck in the garage. I have too many tools and other stuff that I would rather be taking up the room. Also its more important to my wife that her expedition fits, so as long as I make sure there is room for hers i'm happy.

I have a 2 car garage with 2 doors. The shorter side houses my wife's '98 Explorer. Long side houses my '05 KR with folding mirrors(will clear door
opening with mirrors extended).
House is 32 years old.

Ive got a standard 2-car garage here in SoCal. I fit my SCrew and Fusion in there with less then a foot seperating them. I have to back the truck into the garage and this allows the driver to fully open the door to either car and pull it out. You can walk all around the garage (except between the cars and garage door), and I have my toolbox, 33Gal. compressor, workbench, and a bunch of shelves up high to house all my gear for my business. I even had to hang up my extender and old grille in order to keep it clean.

Wow some nice garages there! My home came with one of those oversized garages. Pretty roomy but if I do park my truck in there I need to fold the mirrors in. My truck is a 2005 supercrew so its pretty long but fits fine. The problem with my garage is it had the 2 doors and thats what requires us to have to fold the mirrors. You guys with single door 2 car garages are lucky.

Well
I have a 2 and a 1/2 car garage outback and an attached 1 car garage but they all have so much stuff in them I cannot get a vehicle in any of them.
These are nice garages here.
I told my wife when we were thinking of building a new house that I would like a 3 bedroom house so after the kids are gone they can't move back in and a 5 car attached garage and a pole barn out back.
She got up and left the kitchen after that

Mine is inside, extra cab with 6.5 bed. Need to put up the tennis ***** though. Tired of getting out all the time to ensure the door will close.

3 car garage, 2 motorcycles, 2 mountainbikes. But don't have to deal with anyone else's car at this time.

I have to fold my antenna down and it's tight but I get mine in along with my wifes Land rover. It's tight so usually it's only when I'm out of town.
