nullbound Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 yeah, very nice. would love to have access to a lift like that for my projects.... and the video games and multiple tv's are pretty cool, too, but that might slow my progress down.

Mikelly Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Dammit, He has one more bay than I do! Same upstairs setup, and very sweet! When the guy came over to give me the estimate on the Pro Street SCarab's cage/floorpan/framerail/ motor estimates, he was VERY impressed with our little "hobby" shop! I won't be without a lift Again EVER! 8) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 It's nice and all, but I don't see any real tools or any indication that there is actually work done in that garage, or any intent for work... looks like a garage intended to act as an enlargement to me. Seriously, see any floor jacks, creepers, oil drain pans, etc? Lots of stuff that won't fit in his storage and are staples of a place where work is actually done seem to be absent. I also can't remember the last time I was working on a car and had an uncontrollable urge to play the slots either. Seriously nice car parking place none the less.

Pop N Wood Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 His first line in the post says he just got the lights hooked up. So maybe no work tools because he is still just building it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Yeah, I would have less arcade games and more machine tools. Nice and neat, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 looks like he doesnt even have a computer and internet in there... sorry thats the 1ST thing i would have in my garage. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluex_v1 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 That bottle of hand cleaner is entirely too small. He needs a foot actuated dispenser fed by an undersink 5 gallon bucket. Foot control for the warm water too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 That's not my idea of a garage, and that lift is ok I guess but suspension work is hard to do when the car is supported by the wheels. Those video games would have to go, as would the video crap. The last thing I need when working on my car is a distraction of some sort. Somebody has too much money and hires someone to work on their cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody 82 ZXT Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Thats almost to nice to work in. Wouldn't mind the car though. As a back up to the Z of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Damn... pretty place to park his pretty car.. I too would ditch the tv and slots.. need a decent stereo for tunes while working, but the rest of that crap would be a distraction for sure.. And I doubt that hoist is intended for working on a car.. most likely for storage. I woudln't have gone with the fancy floor either.. 'Real' work on cars causes oil/coolant/ect spills from time to time.. Id go with simple grey paint. Love the space though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skittyscott Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 i believe that floor is some sort of laminate tiling. i cant remember exactly but ive seen it in a magazine. its suppose to be easy to clean, slip resistant, and cool looking scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Is THIS more like the garage you have in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john kosmatka Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Id just buy an old warehouse. Fill it up with lifts, machinining tools, presses, wheel mounting, anything i could possibly need and work away. I really dont know what a video game is doing in a shop. More of a lounge than a garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 YOU ARE JEALOUS!!! Absolutely, no question. But still, ceiling fans? I see no forced air registers. Probably not even air conditioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Ok first off I love the nice open space, the checker pattern on the floor, the lighting, the big screen tv and the cabinets. All it needs is a stove and a bed! Then you would never have to leave the garage! I cant stand drive on lifts. They are useless unless you are doing an alignment, if you ask me. Those cabinets could be filled with tools? Who knows? But I doubt it. I too would have a lot more tools and machining equipent present if I had as much money as this guy must have. Those video games can deffinetly go! Overall I thinks its a cool garage but it needs more functional things to work on cars and not so much bling bling.

Drax240z Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Actually I read a bunch of his posts on the linked site... The flooring was $3sqft compared to $5sqft for epoxy. In his situation I am sure looking good was more important than functionality, but I would have sprung for the epoxy floor system. He's also put a 2nd hottub out back of the garage apparently. Jealous? Perhaps, but not of his garage, more his money allocated to the garage. I think the right word is "disgusted" in that he paid $15,000 for the video game (so he claims) and didn't use that money to buy some decent shop equipment, machine tools, an RB26DETT for me, you know, the basics.

I totally agree with you on this one! Seems like it's more of a show place and less of a work place. Oh well maybe some day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
