ultimate garage
- Thread starter soroush
- Start date
Now here how I could solve the my problems of space here in the UK... It is absolutely fantastic. :cheers
There is a garage like this here in Newport beach California. The Elevator takes you down to the real museum.

Totally ****** Up
A friend of mine just had one of these installed in his Scottsdale, AZ home he built [within a few miles of Chip Beck's house]. Apparently, when they sold it to him, they said it was the first in AZ?
If anyone in the area is interested in a trip to take a look - he's a cool guy and would have no issue showing it off. Unfortunately, he does not have a sweet, exotic collection below - "yet".
Take a peek at the manufacturers website:

And I'm almost positive it was NOT $80k. Last I heard he paid about $40k for it.

Give the guy who built that L-car in is basement a std 4 poster car hoist and a few days and I'll bet he'd build something very similiar for a whole lot less than $40K.
In fact, if I may be so bold, I'd even go so far as to say I pbly could as well.
I know darn well Shadowman could!:biggrin :thumbsup :cheers

I think Sam's talking about Frank's house?

And did you notice it was only necessary to go down TEN "comments" before you came to:
"You are crazy. so many people in the world that can no eat and some stupid people spend a lot of money in a house.
fran. madrid. spain"
Still, I gotta admit THAT WAS 5 POSTS MORE THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD TAKE to see a "class envy" comment like that! :lol
That said, I think the man's nuts too...but ONLY because of the money he has to pay to the gov't in RENT (prop taxes) per year, and all the $$$ for ins and upkeep ('may as well BBQ a steamer trunk full of $100 dollar bills every month). Even if I had Warren Buffet's money I wouldn't want a place worth that much for those reasons alone. But, that's ME (& we all KNOW I'm cheap!). He obviously doesn't give a hoot - AND MORE POWER TO HIM! :thumbsup

Only 40K, in my area it would be 15K+ in engineer studies, reports and permit fillings, before I even got to start a job like that. After 1 to 2 years I may get approved and building cost would be north of 100K. After that I would have the pleasure of having my taxes go up to help the people that need it more. I guess building one of these can be considered patriotic.

Larry,
Tell me that young one learned his writing style from you?
Cheers,

:tap: Ah-h'mmmmm...The literary style exemplified by the author of the masterful composition to which you refer, 'Holmes', is - to slightly 'rephrase' a reply made famous by the illustrious B. Obama - way below even the paygrade of your's truely, your very humble scribe. :tap:
Or, to answer your question directly.........................'NOPE'.:tongue

You have to put it into contest. Here in the UK space is at a premium. It is hard to find a house with a double garage.
It is probably comparable to building a heated swimming pool. I'd take the garage and go to the club when I want to swim....
