I was kinda day dreaming as to what my perfect dream garage would look like. (Dream garage as money is no object)

I think I would want my dream garage to go something like this.

It would have to look like a log cabin with a loft in it. My own truck hoist with the latest Snap On or Mac Tools and cool tool chests. A really cool non slip tiled like floor. The garage for sure have a plasma 60 or 70 inch tv on the wall with surround sound. Probably be big enough to hold 4 or 5 trucks inside.

I would love to see some pictures of really cool garages!

 

Right now, I'd settle for being able to get my truck in the one I have.

 

That is not a dream garage!! That is a designated doghouse!! If I had a garage like that(aka doghouse) I would spout off to the misses a bit more often!

 

I've always thought it would be cool to purchase an old 50's-era gas station and convert it into an office/Men's Crisis Center!

I would install black-and-white checkerboard tile on the floor of the garage area, leaving one of the hoists in place for when I wanted to turn wrenches on my vehicles. I'd park my F-150 and my Mustang in there as everyday showpieces. My suspicion is that the front of the garage would have enough room for some nice leather couches, area rug, and a coffee table, along with a TV and stereo for entertainment, and maybe even a cool slot-car racing track set-up.

The area of the station where the cash register and vending machines used to be would be converted into my office, with a nice desk, high-speed internet service, etc.

Of course, the entire structure would be heated and air conditioned, and the decorating motif would be vintage gas, oil, and automoblie signs.

While it's a far cry from the "Dream Garage" I just described above, here is a picture of my current garage set-up:

 

Something like my neighbors airplane hangar comes to mind. Fully stocked bar, fridge, couches, TV, BBQ, etc. The dream garage would actually be separate from my house. Of course, it'd be stocked full of tools and have a lift in it. Oh, and it'd be HUGE. I want for all of my stuff to fit in it...

 

My dream garage? One that cleans itself.

 

A Huge 10 car garage. High ceilings, high enough for high lifts and lifted pickups. The car list would be:

A 2003 HD SC f150 screw two tone silver-black
A 2008 Black Lariat Screw lifted 8 inches
A 2008 Black Regular Cab Silverado Z71 offroad package
A 2008 Dark Blue Corvette z06
A 1972 Black hard top corvette with a 350 block in it
A 1968 Plymouth Road runner in black with a lifted rear end
A 1967 Pontiac GTO in black with chrome cragers
A 1988 GMC Jimmy Lifted 6 inches with mickey thompsons and offroad wheels
A 2009 Southern Motor Company Pickup in black
A 2009 Lincoln MKZ in black

 

A keg fridge would be cool too. Also, I would want a new 2008 superduty lariat 4X4 crew cab with some nice mods (nice wheels & rims and small lift kit)

As for toys to go in the garage:
- 2008 Ski Doo MXZ 800 and Arctic Cat F1000
- 2008 Can Am 800 XT
- 2008 Yamaha Rhino (Camo)
- 19 foot STV River Rocket with a Mercury 2.5 EFI and matching trailer.
- 22ft Ranger Camanche Bass boat with a Mercury 300 optimax on the back
- A/C Cobra Kit car with a Chevy 572 engine in it.

 

I'd build my house over a huge cavern and have 2 firehouse poles leading from my den to my own personal Bat-cave.

 

Either the one on horsepower tv or TRUCKS!

 

A 6 car garage, accessible from my bedroom, and the Kitchen, on the ground floor of my 11,000 square foot home in Plano or South Lake, TX.

It'll be heated and airconditioned (only when I plan on being in there), and will have a full wood shop attached to it, with all the serious power tools (Table saw, radial arm saw, etc... so I can build my cabinets and entertainment centers). In the garage will be the following:

2008 White BMW 750Li (Mine)
2008 Silver Mercedes Benz S550 (Hers)
2008 Black Mercedes Benz GL450 Premier (Ours)
-----------------------------------------------
1996 Chevrolet Impala SS (Mine)
2000 Ford Expedition (Foose'd) (Mine)
1965 Ford Mustang Convertible, red with white interior (Foose'd) (Hers)


Correction: Make that an eight car garage, and add:

2008: Bentley Continental GT (Mine)
2008: Mercedes SL600 (Hers)

 

It would be big and awsome, and the one thing that I havent seem mentioned is a dyno, def. gotta have one of those

 

I have had that exact same thought, only mine is to start a local private wrenching club. I actually have 2 abandoned stations on Rt66 I have been eyeballing for years. One is an old Dino station, still has the old style round pumps on the island. It's overgrown with brush, poison ivy, weeds, vines, etc. Can't hardly see the building anymore. All the glass in the building has been busted out. It's been completely gutted, a blank canvas waiting. It's got a 2 door service bay, with one having a service pit, the thing has my interest.

It's not a dream "shop" as it's small and low cielings and about 12 miles form my house, so couldn't just go to it and tinker at 11 o'clock at night. Also it's a ways out of town so high speed internet would not be likely, which would be mandatory. Cant have a shop anymore with out being able to come to a forum like this or at least acsess google and look up answers.

 

any garage with a ferrari 575 maranello in it

 

I really can't answer this question beacuase I wouldn't stop naming cars.


I really just want to have 2 trucks and one car when I get older(not including the wifes vehicles)
