Default Caution: This is a 5 Story Mancave

Not of the GM/Pontiac type, but a "Hemi Hideout". Impressive to say the least. I just had to share it with yas all.... "Deep in the heart of Texas:. Enjoy.

meh.

All the signage and gingerbread could have been spent on machinery, lifts, lathes, mills, welders, presses and the like.

Agree, but I don't think that guy would know what to do with them.

Yeah, super cool but just not the way I would go.

Ive always thought if I were one of the Uber rich I would pay a mechanic to be on staff year round to help me with projects.

Im betting that guys mostly buys low mile cars at auction. Which again, cool, just not my thing. I’ve never understood why you would want a bone stock car when you could have a modified one!

Have been in the same house for 35 years in a neighborhood with sidewalks and HOA and everything. Just kept adding garage space not visible from the street. Has reached 2,000 sq ft house and 2,000 sq ft garage plus 10x25 hidden pad. Garage has lift and hoist and everything a coupla miles from Universal Studios (can watch fireworks from roof). High in the 70s today. CND.

ps all but one project car has a door.

It goes beyond mancave, but it is by his house on acreage. It is a commercial venue complete with soundstage, available for events and has a website. Combining hobby and income is pretty smart for enjoying life.

Thats pretty awsome. If I had the money I would def have a settup like that! There was a guy on the GJ that had a pretty impressive 'garage' but it looks like the ghetto compared to this one. I think it would be cool to have a family room area in a garage to sit and relax and be able to look at my car.
