Here are some of mine BEFORE my ex asked for the divorce. Now I live in a one bedroom condo. No fear...when this mess is over, my next one will be better.
Two cars wide and two cars deep - heat, air, hot and cold water, floor drains, flat screen, surround sound, four post lift...racedeck floor in the rear and ucoat it epoxy in the front with floor drains for washing cars. It WAS great. When it was 4 degrees out, I could wash and wax my cars in 70 degree comfort, with warm water, while watching Monday Night Football. Oh well...

We'll I'm 19 and I can't afford a "real garage", but I just bought a pre-fad wood building which is 12x24. Its heavy duty enough to hold a car. Delivery is expected the second week in April, I'll post pictures when I get it.

Yes you do, its a 70 with a factory moonroof(very limited production) it was always going to be the next one I fixed, now about 8 cars later I still have done very little with it. It looks like it might be going to a new home with, I think the guy has 8 other Birds in Australia

To answer this question, "Do I have [a lot]/[too many]/[enough]/[not enough] cars?"
Ask this question, "To indicate the relevant car(s), do I have to turn on their lights when taking a picture of the garage?"

I didnt get the lights comment either. Actually the car with the lights on(thank you auto lamps) is the least relevant car I have.

I'm so jealous!! You guys got some nice garages! I built mine, it started out as a carport then I just kept adding to it until I have what resembles a garage. It's far from nice and isn't anywhere from perfect but it keep the Bird safe and out of the elements. Heck it has a gravel floor that I covered with a couple tarps to keep the moisture off it. One of these days I'll have a nice one.

About 5 years ago I built a 2 story 36x72 pole barn (the upstairs is 36x48). Took a year out of my life to get it done but I sure enjoy it. The pictrues of the downstairs is when it was still clean.

Hey Ivy, is your ex single? I'd love a garage like that! LOL

ivygreen, the OP asked for garage pics, not garage porn
dansbird's pics looked like he had the lights on, sorry my mistake. the idea behind the comment was he had to turn on the lights to the cars he wanted to highlight in the pic .. because he had so many in the garage. IMO, that garage is a good start on a T-Bird collection.
Cad-T-Bird 500, did you intend to make a bar graph? You could probably get that included in a commercial, fund your next project.
