Re: how many cars are enough?
[ QUOTE ]
Eight years ago, I added on a new 3 car garage...... Sure wish I would have made it a 5 bay [/ QUOTE ] Boy have I heard that so many times. It doesn't matter how big you build them they are never big enough! I have always advised anyone building something that whatever they are planning to double it or they will wish they had just as soon as it is built. The funny thing about walking around the outline of a planned building. it will seem so huge when you are walking it out. But when you get a few shelves and work tables and a car or two in there, then it will be small real quick. Having enough space to open a door while you work on a car can take up room so fast. I know that I want to build one 150 x 60 and I am sure that I will find it full in just a few years. Pantera

Re: how many cars are enough?
I built what I thought was my dream garage 8 years ago. 1700 square feet layed out to hold 6 cars. We now park one car and a Kubota in there. The rest is my kids motorcycle crap, old furniture, Pool table, shuffleboard table and just stuff. Then I build my dream shop. Traded my 70 Hemi Cuda, Lemon Twist yellow frame off 4 speed car at $44K and money for a used 80'x100' shop. I have 4 project cars, a car trailer, kids boat, old steam engine, old tractor, Kubota tractor, tons of old furniture, car hoist and a bunch of crap in there. Even put a second floor mezzanine in that is 1500 square feet. It looks like crap in there with all the crap. Then I do the new car barn at 5000 square feet and it is filling up fast. Whatever you build it will fill up fast. Then it will start to piss you off.

One is more than enough for me, and I can barely afford that the way prices are going anymore. [/ QUOTE ] Same here. But, I can imagine having five to ten cars and having my hads full keeping them running and enjoying them. Don't get me wrong, I'd find a way to do it, but 10 cars max would be fine with me. Don't ask me which 10 I'd want!
