    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.

  • @hellfire08

    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.

    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.

    Best thing I’ve found for car enthusiasts is buying a house in an aviation community. You can have whatever size house you want with a conventional garage and you also have a 4000sqft + hangar. Second best thing is the “cardominium” which are easily found in regional/ small local airports. Your home is built into the hangar itself. These places are exactly where I want to be.

    That house is damn beautiful. I certainly understand the pain of searching for a multi-garage house. When my dad wanted to 'upgrade' he really wanted to store all the family's cars inside, because in Belgium it freezes half of the time. But finding a house with 4-car garages is near impossible unless you are willing to spend a million+ on a house, which he can't. Still looking.

      I have a “three” car garage and it’s basically like 2 normal sedans and a Miata in the back stall. You could probably park three normal sized cars in it but you’d have like literally an inch between bumper and wall, and bumper to garage door. 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. We need to clean our garage and put some in there but there’s three motorcycles (not my thing) in the garage currently.

    My wife is a realtor and we went through this up here in WI about 2 years ago. Looked at a bunch of terrible houses with moderate "garages" then stumbled upon a decent (yet dated) house with an old cabinet shop (2400 sq ft steel I besm building), "4" car garage (fits 6), and attached 2 car garage for the daily drivers. Needless to say we made an offer right away and bought it. Been doing a ton of remodeling but it's worth it. Great find with your house Ed!

    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.
