So, I do have a soft spot for not so light cars. [emoji16] The new family hauler followed me home today. 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition Premium with Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (basically fat swaybars that disconnect automatically when the vehicle detects the need for more...

I've had it around 16 months now. Not super quick in a straight line, but it comes alive on twisty WV roads. Very light on its feet and rotates very easily... even when you don't want it to sometimes. [emoji16] Seats, steering wheel, and shifter are all excellent. Interior can be a bit cheap...

18 panels on the left side needed the lock rings and about 1/4" of panel cut off. The back 11 panels needed 4". I could freehand the 18 based on where the cut went (basically had a guide on the part). The back 11, I used a straight edge to make the mark, repositioned the straight edge, and then...

Well, it is far from done, so I'll hopefully have new pics to post every couple months. Thread is over here. Bicycles and light cars http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312892 I probably ride once a week these days, so some could be put up and out of the way. I do love the...

The Delta racks I have are pretty low profile. I don't know that you have the open wall space, though. What about building something off the platform and hold the bikes over the MINI? Sent from Tandy 400

The original floor plan didn't call for a 3rd bay. Being the optimist that I am, it gives me more wall space. :) Plus, my wife manages to park both of the cars she regularly drives right on top of each other in the middle of the double bay. If she had the width of 3 bays, she'd manage to park...

Pretty unlikely to ever happen. As much as I love my 86, I'll probably have to let go when the lease is up*. I drove an IS300 last week while trying to figure out what will replace the recently totaled Rav4. It impressed and an AWD sedan does make things a little simpler. Some carnage from...

My kiddo helped out. Stuff is super easy to put down. Sent from Tandy 400

Last week I got the bikes up on the walls and started my race deck floor. Making progress. Trimmed out. Finally got my hachiroku parked. Next step, paint inspired by the classic hachiroku and vinyl on the walls. Not really looking to have this as a "shop". Just a pretty place...

My wife and I purchased a house with a 3 car garage in the spring. One of the requirements for the new house was a 3 car garage. Wife's mini looking into my bay. A clean slate. Work got really heavy, so it looked like this for 6 months. Sent from Tandy 400

Good point. Sent from Tandy 400

Depending how all this holds this winter to having a daily driver, I might do the other two bays. It really does look nice in person. I need to trim out the back and side pieces. As good excuse as any to buy a table saw, right? Sent from Tandy 400

Bikes are up and out of the way. They are Delta branded racks that lean against the wall. Pretty sturdy, easy to assemble. The arms are a little too easy to rotate when trying to fit them into the complex full suspension mountain bike frame. Racedeck comes next. Should have it down Sunday...

Congrats. Looks like a great house. I can empathize on the house search. I was also set on building because a 3 car garage was a must and it is a pretty rare feature on most houses around here (Charleston, WV). We'd made a few offers on land and we weren't finding even any land we liked. While...

Just placed an order for some Race Deck flooring and some racks for the bikes. Hopefully looking much more settled this time next week. Sent from Tandy 400
