I joined up on this forum a while ago and have been lurking for a bit.
The one thing that I have noticed is that about 85% of you have better shops than I do.
I have been into muscle cars and motorcycles for about 35 years and love working on stuff. As my family has progressed, my shop space has taken a back seat. Now that all of the kids are out of the house, my shop space is limited to financial obligations and a downed economy. :wtf:
That being said, I am eking out my existence in a "large" one car garage with a small shop space behind it and a concrete pad (outside) with a 14x16 shed behind that.
Current projects (other than honeydo's) are 5 older (mid 1980's) Honda's, a 1961 Ford Econoline (The "Econosaurus") pickup, and a 1970 Datsun 510 (waiting in the wings until I am to old to drive it again).

Having worked on stuff in many different environments, I would just like to say that I will always be happy with a wrench in my hand...and God willing, a 50,000 square foot shop.

My wife thinks I am crazy, but my dream "garage" would be a huge warehouse with a good sized travel trailer or motorhome parked in it for living quarters (maybe a couple extra for guest quarters...), some astroturf for a lawn, and the rest of it for parking and various work areas. If your going to dream, dream BIG!

Welcome....when my wife asked me how big a garage would be "big enough", I said one where I can drive the Excursion in with the trailer. She replied,"That's big but not THAT big". I continued, "and turn it all around without backing up!"

If I ever win the lottery, I will make a turnaround area in my "garage"! :thumbup:
