Love the show room but I'd be fine with the rear garage! Not sure if it's me but some pics in beginning and the man cave part don't show up.

Looks like you've done pretty well for yourself carguy. I have to ask (you don't have to answer), what do you do for a living?

Beautiful, one of the nicest I've seen on GJ. And I 100% agree with you about the Cracker Barrel comment -- the way you've displayed your signage and memorabilia is extremely tasteful and organized. Again, just beautiful.

I am going to keep this thread saved in every electronic device I will ever own. The next time my wife begins to complain about how much $$$ I spend on my cars I am going to whip this out and watch her reaction.

Beautiful!

What did you do for work to able to compile such a gorgeous collection of toys? I apparently chose a different path.

Thank you so much for the nice comments. I had so much fun planning and creating my toy garage.

Over the years I have bought and sold a number of cars at Barrett Jackson Scottsdale. Whenever I sold a car there I had a show board created for that car. I made sure they were all the same size and style. My idea was to display the cars I sold on the walls of my toy garage some day. The show signs of cars on the walls of the show room are those cars.

The 70 hemi cuda is a real hemi cuda in its original red exterior.

Thanks for visiting my toy garage.

Dave

I'll have to offer a compliment by saying that your place is very neatly kept and although I like cars to be driven--I appreciate your candor in admitting your cars are built for shows and are trailer-queens. Most people won't acknowledge that.. But--alas they are yours and you've paid to preserve them and keep them in pristine condition. Your Taj Mahal appears to be kept in the care of a museum caretaker and is incredible. Thanks for sharing your prizes..

I have fond memories of your first garage thread, and the various pics posted by RaceDeck. Another solid creation! I love the simplicity of the original intention of being retired and wanting to create somewhere to go and play. That is the dream for sure.

Dave your car collection and garages and man cave are incredible - extraordinary. I'd happily show you around my garage and cars here in England if you visit the UK, in return for a reciprocal look around your collection if I ever visit Orlando ;-)))

I am OCD about neatness, cleanliness and order, but you lead the way!

Brilliant!

In the rear garage one of the things we really utilize is the wash system. We installed spot free water tanks connected to an electric pressure washer. We use a foaming bottle with this system to spray soap on, brush, and then rinse off. This allows me to wash a motor home or trailer with an 18" wide brush which makes washing much easier and faster. I have the same system installed in the bay of my motorhome which works great.
