Hey folks. I was hoping you could help me out with this hypothetical scenario:
You have a small, uninsulated, detached two car garage. 18' wide x 26' long x 7.5' high.
You live in the midwest. It can be 90 degrees one day and 20 degrees the next. Your cars get wet. Fortunately, there is a drain in the middle of the garage.
The garage is too narrow to have anything on either side of the cars. But you have pegboard and some cupboards on the side walls.
The garage is too short to store anything above you, except for two bicycles that are suspended and mostly out of the way. You still occasionally run into these with your head.
On the back wall, opposite the garage door, you have a workbench the length of the wall, with pegboard and shelves or cupboards above. There is a door in the corner to access the backyard separating you from your house.
You are not interested in adding drywall, insulation, heating or cooling to the garage. You aren't THAT serious about your garage (yet). You would like flooring that can handle extreme temperature swings, isn't slippery when wet, and separates you from the chill of the concrete floor. You don't know what product can do this.
You have ample electrical outlets at 120v, good lighting, and even a natural gas line that is currently capped.
You aren't building hot rods or fashioning credenzas from a single piece of oak. You want to become a functional, generalized handy man, who can make small to medium repairs on a car or motorcycle. Or fix random things that break around the house. Or build a birdhouse, or a doghouse, etc.
You have zero tools, zero tool boxes, zero vice grips, zero anything. You are stocking your garage. What do you buy and in what order?

Don't let my wife see this post.
