Those are the male equivalent of Martha Stewart's kitchen. Pretty as hell, but nothing as messy as actual cooking has taken place there.
Hi,

I hear what you're saying. It is not necessary to have a Showcase Garage, though they are nice.

I have a plain old garage, cinderblock construction, pre-stressed concrete roof, nothing fancy at all. I have an I-Beam in the ceiling w/ hoist which will support 2 tons, sealed the concrete floor w/ clear sealer (cleans as good as Epoxy) and a couple of nice Car posters on the wall, a boombox, my bench, tool chests, floor jack, stands, stool, compressor, Blast cabinet, etc. and I'm good to go. Have done a dozen or so complete engine/tranny rebuilds, 4 frame-off restorations.

A Dream Garage is fine, but the cars and the work's the thing for me. I'd trade all the fancy paint and floors for an extra 250-500 '² any day...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
