Beyond vehicles, my dream garage would be a 4 car garage (2 deep x 2
wide) with a lift and a high ceiling so I could eventually park 8 cars
in there.  Plus I think it would be nice to have a loft efficiency in
one corner where a guest could stay or you could crash after a late
night of wrenching without waking the family.

Then you could wake up and look over the room full of cars.

As for those cars, a ragtop C2, an early '70s Deville (ragtop as
well), at least one strip monster and maybe a T-bucket for fun...

Do you want polite or do you want sincere?

I thought you were talking garages.

The first real garage I had (one we built, not simply one that came with the
house) was 24x44 and set up to house three cars.  It was set up two 12' open
bays, an open work area, wall, 12' bay, with 10" ceiling on the low side and
14" on the high.  The two end bays had fiberglass doors on both ends, the
center bay had a 6'h x 8'w window for natural light plus a fiberglass door.
Pit in the center bay (one next to work area) and 12 inch main beam that
supported the hoist.  One of the things planned and never put in was a
trolley for the hoist.  In the summer, you could open all the doors and be
like working in a car port for comfort.

It has been kind of a standard I've worked towards since.

Since then, I've had two commercial bays.

The fist was a 25x40 (23x38 interior) commercial bay with 15' ceilings.
Three cars in it with work and heavy storage along with a loft down one side
and across the closed end for small storage (meaning you could carry it up
the stairs) and also doubled for some sleep time during a couple of
unexpected moves.

The second was a 20x60 (I think I told lab~rat it was 25x60) with office and
bathroom on the end with 10' wide storage on top.  I never got this one set
up that well.  Being only 20' wide really puts more crimp in your work than
you would think.

Now I'm stuck with an extra deep double attached that is hard to do serious
work in.  I have plans (but no money or builder) to do a second detached
garage that I can really work in.

Dream garage would be probably three 12' wide bays (maybe one with 14'), a
12' wide work area, one set up to paint in (floor exhaust ducts, extra side
lighting), one with a two-post lift, one with a pit, hoist (or two) on a
trolley in the main section, probably around 48x28 or 48x32 with separate
doors on each bay.

Now about cars, I'd like to have this.  Kind of dates back to the old VH1
Every Year Corvette give-away.
