The 5 Million dollar Garage..

[satcat]

We all are in awe, of OldCarGuy's, 6 garages and his dedication to this forum.

But this garage is mind blowing..
A 6,000-square foot subterranean parking garage

A well equipped garage might have a 10,000 lbs lift..This guy has a 275,000 lbs elevator, just to get to his underground garage..

It costs $25 a time in electricity to power the lift, which is believed to be one of, if not the, largest privately-owned land vehicle lift in the country.
The 12ft wide elevator is capable of carrying more than a quarter of a million pounds and requires 800 gallons of hydraulic fluid to raise and lower.
Underneath is an immaculately finished 6,000 sq ft garage which can store 40 cars or nine buses.
Mr Gonzales adds: 'It reflects my personality because I truly was the one who designed it. It was what I wanted.
'I finally got my kid's toy box, the thing that I can put my cars in, my RVs, my motorcycles and it makes me feel good.'
Mr Gonzales' enormous property also features racks of gleaming new motorbikes, some of which have never even been started let alone ridden.

Saw this on TV on one of those "Extreme" shows. I love how they tried to hide the lift with landscaping, like the tree that rides up and down on it. Crazy!

That place has been on the market for at least a year.

Here is the video if anyone wants to see.

Quite honestly I'd much rather have Oldcarguy's shop over this one. This is more of a collectors room than a working garage or shop.

Omg, two Ultimas. That's just worthy.

If its for sale it must have not been all that??? ha... If I could afford it,,, I wouldn't bother.

Four Prowlers and only 1 Ford GT? Who puts 4 Plymouth Prowlers in a collection?

 

[dcorn]

So he really needed five Z8's, two Thunderbirds and four Prowlers?

I'll give him props for the 2 Ultimas and the Ford GT.

Anyone else spot the McLaren F1 allll the way in the back?? Obviously that thing never gets enjoyed... And it has a wing, I thought it might be an LM, but I think they only made those in orange. Can't be a GTR with no roof scoop.

That garage is kinda dumb. To get at the GT40 in the back he has to move like 20 other cars. It's just a warehouse.

Jay's is much better. All cars are available as desired, and the place is a car guys showplace.

If I won the euro millions lottery over here I would buy that place!!! Its awesome!
but get some lifts in there and less cars lol

 

[80WTI_55_CHEV]

I would still prefer Don long's , Kiwi Kev's or Marks Monster garage and a couple others way before that one. Cool place but it doesn't have the same feeling of passion behind it.

And the owner is an arrogant douchebag that thinks the world rotates around his money.

I had seen that last year somewhere online. If you read the article on cnn money he has over 400(?) cars so this is just a small piece for his Tahoe home. I'm sure he has employees to move things around if he want to drive the one of the prowlers or the ford GT.

And the owner is an arrogant douchebag that thinks the world rotates around his money.

Why ? Because he has more money than you I?
