The question is does anyone "WORK" in a garage like those???? other than "work to keep them spotless!" heck my concrete collects dust if exposed to air, only way to keep that from happening is to put heavy tools and equipment on it.

Cool to look at, display things in, watch a game, have a beer...but not work. Hell, I would be worried about spilling a beer in some of them!

THOSE AREN'T GARAGES AS WE KNOW THEM. THEY ARE BASICALLY STERILE SHOWROOMS WERE CARS AND TOOLS ARE KEPT. THE ONLY OIL IN THAT GARAGE IS PROBABLY IN THE CARS ENGINE!

Thanks, Phil

Yep, I don't think they would be to happy when I spilled a drop of paint on the floor. LOL
Those should not even be called a garage.

I just went out and checked and it's not my garage. I think my wife would like it though.

I can say when i build my next garage... it will be 1 building but 2 garages inside. 1 side to paint and if you spill oil on the floor you wouldn't cry. LOL Other side will be epoxy painted floor, white walls, with globes every where and signs and pumps. You can't have a nice display of gas stuff in a garage you paint in. Well you can but not easy. LOL

Yes it is way out of my league, but surely it is impressive and the detail is remarkable as well. Something though to shoot for, even if it is only good for ideas of what to do or how to display things. My hats off to the people who penciled it, built it, and have the ability to pay for it.
Alway never hurts to dream.

Hey John I have already got a start then. All I have to do is put a full concrete floor in my 40X60 pole barn then finish off the inside of it  But then I would have to fix the barn up too so I could put some of the stuff in the shed in there LOL

They don't even qualify as a garage in my book but rather a high-end show room. That's extravagance I could only hope to have in my home.
