Default Garages... let's see 'em!

I searched for a similar thread, but did not see one (not recently, at least).

So... Show off the living quarters of your prized machines!!

OMG you cannot see the potential (feeling) of disrespect I give my XF! Now if you factor in the fact it is in a metal garage (with garage door opener) out of the southeast sun, rain (including acid rain from all the 'rednecks' burning all sorts of trash within 1 circular mile, including me the damn yankee), and extreme pollen AND the fact WE keep it (with help from the MRS) mostly clean and waxed, then you can appreciate I do take better than good care of her. Just yesterday I got a bunch of people from the USAF base come up to me while I was gassing her upusing the restroom, wondering what it is. Their collective SHOCK of knowing she (THE XF) is over 10 years old was extremely palatable! So, no pictures, it would be bad for my 'cred'. LMAO!

Here's mine : ( Note: That's 6 - 4 bulb troffer lights in the ceiling ! - I'm getting old and half blind )



And before anyone comments, I do NOT put the toilet seat hanging on the wall in the Crossfire for long trips .

Nice!! You can never have too much lighting. I'm going to look into putting LED strip-lights in the top, for detailing

Mine is a bit of a clean slate at the moment... the garage is now finished, and some moving boxes are still in the 3rd bay... but this is the blank canvas that I have available.

I'm going to do a 12x24 tile throughout; it should be a really nice look once completed. Next will be wall-mount cabinets, in charcoal.

Nothing fancy but home for the past 10 years for my Crossfire
And my 1100cc 1985 Honda V65 Magna is my other fun on wheels
They both get heads to turn and our rarely seen
Limited production toys I guess ya could say
