I purchased my house when the market was in the toilet as well. Got a great deal and a low interest rate. Only had one car garage though. A few years later I built a steel building behind the house and a driveway that branches off of my original driveway. Put a lift in and it’s awesome. Do all kinds of work in there and can store 4 cars inside now.

[@MRkriegs]

That's a good way to do it. Good bang for ur buck

[@jrry1473]

My wife and I bought our home in 1981 for $54,000.00. it didn't have a garage, but what it did have is a septic system with a drain field that took up most of the back yard. Finally in the early 2000s, they brought city sewer down my road. After years of laying on my back, pulling engines and transmissions, I now had the chance to get my garage. I built a 26 x 56 two story with two two-post lifts and three bays. I can now store five cars in my garage. It's not a dream garage, but it is a huge improvement over a driveway and a jack.

[@DelCalloway]

Totally agree with Ed. We did it a little differently, as we lived in the ghetto for 7-8yrs while saving to build our "forever home". Granted we always had nice vehicles to drive, but living there allowed us to save to put a substantial amount down on our forever home which we designed ourselves and contracted out to build. There was 3 main things on my list. #1 I wanted a bigger than normal garage, I hate houses were garages are so small you can barely get out of your own vehicle so mine has a 25x25 garage where our daily vehicles go. #2 I wanted a shop for my personal use that could accommodate a 2-post lift and went with a 2000sqft shop with 3 14x14 roll ups, this is where the SLC and Hayabusa stay along with plenty of left over space to use and work on stuff. #3 doesn't apply here, but I wanted a movie room. Rest of the house I didn't really care about design, as long as I approved of what the wife was doing. 4yrs later I couldn't be happier with my choice.

We just use a car port (tacky I know) and park two cars under it. Then we have one other parked behind the port in the drive way and two on the street.

I once looked at a converted hangar that basically had a two bedroom mobile home perched on it. Damn nice garage though.

[@EdBolian]

That is the dream!

[@BurtonsAttic]

I had the same challenge looking for a garage. Finally found a 3 bay that is oversized compared to standard size garage at 1000ish sqft and the house is good to. It was empty when I moved in and of course it's full now! I live in the country so I have enough space to build which I've been looking at recently. Like the outdoor kitchen, sweet!

Or you could be like Feretti and build a house with a nice garage Then have it get rejected....

[@VINwiki]

We talked a lot about that yesterday when he was here filming

My brother lives in a really great neighborhood in Woodstock, GA, but there are sooo many speed bumps and hills. No way you could manage a Lamborghini there! Atlanta is such a fun city and I’m glad you found a great place for you (and your cars) to live there. 😁

My house is on a hill overlooking the water, and we loved the location initially, but after a few years decided it was too small. After looking around at other houses, I decided to just add a 1200sf addition onto the back. Thinking of how to work this in my favor instead of just my wife, I had the contractor dig deeper on the back side, and added a second 1200sf lower floor below the new addition, to create a 30x40 shop. Now, in addition to the existing 2 car standard garage, (which my wife never got to park in because I usually have a project car in progress), I have room for 5 cars, or at least four if I happen to have a build going. Best thing I ever did, of course my wife still has to park outside because I acquired even more project cars.!

[@kelvarnsen1749]

Wow beautiful garage Ed. The house looks nice too.

[@kmagnuss4597]

This might be the best vinwiki video yet... loved it.

My parents have been going through this same thing for years in the Sacramento area. We have 21 cars and of course, there's nothing out there that can fit that specific need. After 2 years of searching, they finally found a place just outside of Sacramento that overlooks Folsom Lake that has space for 12 cars underneath the house. Still, this obviously isn't enough and wanting to move out of California entirely, they've decided to build their dream house where I currently live in Logan Utah. While the house itself will have a "normal" 4 car garage on the main level, underneath the house, they are building what I refer to as "the bat cave." It is enough space for 19 cars plus a workshop for restoring and working on them. Additionally, they are configuring a space within this construction to allow them to wash the cars in the winter. Construction won't be starting for another year or so, but I will send pictures and video when it's under way.

I live where so many people are flocking to from California. They bitch about taxes and cost of living etc in cali. Yet they still vote the California urban way. Now my gov and state Senate and House is left as can be and taxes are going to skyrocket here. Definition of insanity. California is full of moron that are spreading like locust. Utah is just another one of those amazing states they are f'ing up.

[@brock2273]

Folsom puddle?

[@ace95835]

@@brock2273 You aren't kidding. I come home to visit a couple times a year and that body of water can drop 20ft almost, between visits.

[@robertct06]

I can’t imagine how much that costs

[@diggingattycho7908]

Over 20 years ago I was working in what was called a CAD sweatshop(they created building construction plans). We were doing a series of drawings of model homes for a builder, one of the homes really stood out. It had the typical 2 car garage with the option to go up to a six car garage. The house wasn't anything special, not very large. Perfect for a car guy.

[@Projectfd]

I had to go the other way, buy enough property and build a 2,400 sq ft garage. All the 'attached' type structures we were finding in SFL were a joke.

[@Drivewaybuilt]

A few years ago I bought a nice large garage in a decent part of town with a long driveway for extra cars. The wife was happy it also came with a house.

wow Ed, only $1,000 a month for 5,000 sq/ft warehouse in 2010....i was paying $1,264 for a 1,180 sq/ft apartment in 2006

[@weldchip]

I had the exact same issues as you living in Roswell north of Atlanta the two biggest challenges were finding a house with enough garage space for 4 cars plus a workshop and a driveway flat enough to get the cars in and out. We almost lost hope then a buddy recommended a good realtor (Brent McSpadden) he’s not your average realtor and had worked with car guys before. Didn’t even think it was weird that I followed him round in a ridiculously low Porsche to see if it would clear driveways. We worked out a pretty good system to get out of viewings quickly, if my car wouldn’t go up the driveway he knew I wouldn’t even bother viewing the place and he would just drive onto the next listing.

Last time I was this early, the doors on the Patina Turner were still tacky.

[@cuzzinolaf]

I agree 100% on the house thing since I lived it. I bought a three car garage house and ended up building a separate 2/3 car garage on the property within a year of purchasing it, roughly $50k with the additional concrete I wanted and redoing my entire driveway here in Northern IL. I searched Redfin, Realtor.com, and all over trying to find something before buying this house. Even Redfin wasn't 100% accurate because people listed garage space as parking space. I think another helpful thing to include in a house listing is IF a garage could be built on the property and if the township/association permiteded. I almost bought a different house and would have later found out I couldn't build a detached per the association.

[@trcythmpsn]

As a single guy with no kids, no pets and self employed I prayed I could build out an apartment inside a big shop but zoning has stopped me so far. I would love to pull my corvette or ducati up to my couch.

[@EdBolian]

That is what you get for asking permission

[@richardmaggs3430]

Tracy Thompson if you haven't already, try looking around the downtown area for small warehouses. Some have areas that you can convert to a living space with minimal effort. And 'accidentally' forget about that whole "asking permission" thing, lol!

[@mattizie91]

That's crazy. No one ever made an apartment in a big shop! That fold-out happened to be the only couch I have; the large water heater is because we have so many customers that wash their hands that the hot water runs out; the kitchen is actually a "kitchenette" to whip up a quick roast while on break; and there's nothing wrong with having a TV in my office. No, of course I don't actually live there. I only go there for work.

[@trcythmpsn]

The issue about not asking is commercial properties are inspected for code and if they see someone living in there you'll not only get in trouble but you will have to get another place to live. I didn't want to risk paying for two places. But...but.... I found a place this week that's perfect. 1 bed 1 bath long 1 car garage that could fit a 2 post lift and washer dryer. 750 a month and it's 1.5 miles from my work. I move in next month.

[@Verytas]

While I can't imagine having a 6 or 7 car garage I've been looking to relocate by myself from Rhode Island to Virginia. After a year and a half of searching I finally found a clean enough house with an over sized 2 car that can definitely fit 3 wide and is plenty deep to use as a workshop and an oversized 1 car dug in underneath it that can also hold the tractor and the rest of the yard stuff that made me go down and look at it. I close in less than a month. The gt350R I'll eventually have will have a nice home...

[@Snadzies]

We just moved into our current house two years ago, simple rambler, but it has a MASSIVE garage. Thing has a large work bench, storage cabinets lining the walls, huge heater and even still we can fit 4 cars, all our yard stuff (riding lawn mowers and what have you), tires, tool cabinet, parts. Turns out one of the previous owners ran an auto repair business at home and put this garage in to work out of. Floor still has the plates and holes where the car lift was located. Best of all, no HOA!

[@wclark3196]
