It's not a real garage or shop unless there is grinding dust & overspray on everything!

Given unlimited funds... I don't think my garage would look like any of those. Those were places to show guests how much you spent on your cars.. lol

A garage is a playroom to me.... it has to be able to take it if I play rough. A dream garage to me would probably look more like Jesse James' "Monstrer Garage" set.. well equiped and roomy, but rough around the edges.

Thgere is a book called "Dream Garages" that has some garages like those and many nicer than my home.I guess anything is possible if you have a water cooled checkbook.

It is amazing how many of those garages have a bar. Mine just has a fridge... the bar never gets used as you drink the beer while you work on the big girl... not stand around.

My dream garage is an old warehouse filled with every tool I could ever imagine. Those are all too pretty for me :D

i would like to have a garage like those to display all my finished cars and trucks, but a shop with all my tools and projects.

Naw man. I think it is just wet from cleaning up that day. My floor is not nice enough to do any coatings on. I am always cleaning the garage.:metal:

If you really want to get your mind blown... check out the Garage Gallery in The Forum here:

The Garage Journal

Old warehouses, dealerships, gas stations turned into garages... and even custom built from scratch garages. Lots of pics!

A garage is a place to work om your vehicle and a show room is for displaying your vehicle.

Those are very nice but I'm not sure I would know what to do with myself in such a clean environment.

Get drunk (or not) and play silly buggers with one of those toys... just two things that come straight to mind - I can see big black tyre marks across those squeaky clean floors already :lol:

Thank you. I had forgotten about that site. Awesome stuff.
I just wish I could use my 3 car garage as a garage, not a storage unit.

Re: Garages from a dream
 
I just had a read of the forum on that Garage Journal site... wow they are not nice people.
I only browsed through one thread but they were not PG rated and not at all nice... picking fights and putting each other down.

I like it here where it is safe to play.

Whatta ya expect from a bunch of alpha males with garages?

That is how men act around each other... for some reason.

Which is why I always laugh when I hear a woman say she wants to be treated like a man... and I always say: no, you don't.

I have NEVER wanted to be treated like a man and I have never asked for equal rights.

I have only ever wanted to be treated like a Goddess and I only want the pick of the best rights.

The question is why do men tolerate being spoken to like that?

Because women got laws passed that make it a pain in the ass to fight each other anymore.

I personally don't put up with it, because I generally can't be around the uber males for very long...

... but most folks in the States these days have no backbone or it is located in their wife's purse.

Those are not garages, no work is performed within them. I would call em showrooms.
