The v-shaped brick deal with the 6 wooden doors really spoke to me for some reason.

I counted two gentlemen of superior taste with 993s.

Jeff- your right-hand side is the same as mine!

My humble cave taken while doing some baby sitting for my brother's gt3, that slot has since been taken up by my 997 C2S...

Mine's a work in progress:

And, ready for plaster now:

We've been working on the addition, off and on, all summer, and it was nice to get all the construction debris cleared out of the yard.

I'm real happy with what I've got, but I do like that garage with the Ford and Ferrari in it, with the comfortable view nook at the back.

just two babies

Here are some pics of the garages. The first couple is the garage attached to the house, which is a tandem 5 car that I did a acid stain on the floor. The rest of the pics are of my detached garage which I built a few years ago. I spend lots of time in there during the long rainy winter.

Like is better for some then others - but it's so great that all these cars have good homes, people who love them and they didn't end up in "Cash for Klunkers"! Jake - love your garage and eclectic mix of auto's. Mooty - what happens when the "babies" grow up?

arjag · 11-01-2009, 09:09 PM

Jake,
Awesome man cave!

What size is the detached? Looks like just what I "need".

Wow, it seems like a lot of people have a 993 as part of their collection, gload to see that

Jake, WOW nice cars I have been looking to add another car to my fleet (older muscle car) and would love to get one of those cars

The shop is 44'x 50' deep, with a 800 sq. ft. bonus room on the second story. It has 14' doors and 16' walls. The wife was not happy that the garage ended up being bigger than the house

I am very happy with the overall size. Down the line we will turn the bonus room into a game/ media room for the kids and their friends.

Love the GTX with the red interior. Now that is rare.

So Jake, being one of the local Sheriffs, does this provide some privileges in how you use the county roads with that fast machinery?

Jake G · 11-01-2009, 10:38 PM

Rinty, you know its how fast you get to the speed limit that really matters. I do my best to be safe and sane. My love for the Cobra has spread among the Dept. and we now have 4 Cobra owners. We already have several Porsche guys.
