Any 5 car wide garages?

Man, that collection epitomizes reliability, eh?

Nice rides

Thanks! More reliable than you might think, particularly the Jaguars. People like to talk trash, but you just have to maintain your cars.

Here’s my zero car 25x42’ with suite above.



Been using my daughters Jeep the last couple of years. Thinking of getting something nice. Maybe. Maybe not.

UKauto it seems like money isnt exactly tight so I would go with as big as you can or want.

Nice cars and very unique. That's great you are fixing up on with your son(s).

Here is mine. The checkers are one-foot square for reference and the garage is about 42 feet wide. The video show how much room it gives, with both side being the same width. I can fit 4 cars on the ground with fairly reasonable room to open and close doors (with smaller cars like yours anyway). The lift adds a fifth spot and there is probably room by the cabinets to squeeze in a small 6th car in a pinch. I'd say you "could" get 5 of those cars side-by-side in a 50 foot wide garage. It wouldn't be roomy, but not terrible either.

Give thought to the doors too. You might just do 5 eight-foot wide doors if you go that route. Two standard 16ft doors would make getting 5 cars in and out more difficult. We did custom carriage doors on mine because I didn't want columns between each bay and didn't want roll-up doors that got in the way of the lift.

I have a friend who has an 80' x 20' garage with standard 9 foot ceiling, all sheet-rocked, no windows. It works for storage and posters, etc., but the long, low shape isn't that inspiring as a showroom. If you do long and shallow, consider an interesting and high ceiling (exposed timbers, etc.) to give it some sense of grandeur/interest.

Makes me want a bigger lot, what a beauty that garage is!

Money is always tight when you keep adding cars!!! I won't pretend I am about to starve, but I am rapidly approaching retirement and want to be careful. I also want to ensure I have hobby space lined up before my income becomes "restricted".

It is nice that my son's both have something interesting and vintage, when so many kids aren't at all worried about getting cars. Both bought their cars when they were 15, and we matched their investment. Both cars were driveable, but needed love - the mini in particular had LOTS of hidden rust and bondo, but looked good.

Cheers.

Some great ideas, by the way your doors are awesome - we are leaning heavily toward carriage house doors.

My wife likes the general proportions and style of your garage most overall. I think it has a nice simplicity. I agree, from an interior perspective having a high and interesting ceiling is a good idea. My current garage has a cathedral ceiling with track lighting - I like that look.

Cheers.
