Bain Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Blame it on my immaturity, but the Ferrari is decidedly more interesting than the chimney pots. I was once in a house that had a Lamborghini in the garage. The windows were rolled down, and I wanted sooo badly to slip behind the wheel and just sit there for a minute or two. I probably would have, but I was afraid the alarm had been set, and didn't want to explain myself to a neighbor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence McCann Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 There is a nice Green, 1972 XKE with 31,000 original miles too. It's the 6 and not the V-12 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Meiland Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Terence, maybe you inspected this house? http://info.bowa.com/Blog/bid/48819/Gar ... Remodeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 My favorite car garage was five bays each with a hydraulic lift so you could store ten cars. Neat. Made it easy to change your own oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Check out this house. It is build about a mile from my tiny condo in Florida. It took about 5 years to build and has a great garage. The owner has a few Bently's. He used to be a home inspector. (NOT!) http://www.hometakes.com/standard/4545ocean.wmv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Meiland Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 My favorite car garage was five bays each with a hydraulic lift so you could store ten cars. I was in a hangar recently with a plane up on a lift like that, another plane sitting right below it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Stacking cars is actually a great idea if you can't build the extra square footage. But I have no idea what the cost involved would be. Many NYC parking lots use the two stack systems. The house in Florida has a climate controlled garage that holds 27 cars. Just in case you have that many.

hausdok Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Somewhere in here is a video of a parking garage in Germany that looks like a giant soda machine. Customer walks in, puts a parking ticket in a slot and then waits for the building to find the car, shuffle it to the front and drop it down (or bring it up?) an elevator to where the client is. Holds many hundreds of cars. I watched John's video. Wretched excess; I don't understand why someone would need, or even want, all the "stuff" thats in that house. OK, maybe I'd want the car collection and the cool garage; but the rest of it? Yuck! Some folks have more money than brains. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

The latest word is that they are getting a divorce. I am told that the husband is the guy who invented the bar code but I do not have any evidence. The house is at the one mile turn of our two mile beach walk. There is no other property within five miles that is even worth ten percent of this house. But, as I said before, it's nice to have money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
