Only if my garage wasn't already full with everything that is in it and my dad's Pearl White 84 'Vette . Then I would have a garage for mine, but that isn't going to happen so I have to stick with nature as my garage.

Prick of the month
I can't wait to get a house so I can do this as well, still about a year away. A friend of mine has a boss who has a 10,000 lb hydraulic lift in his garage, I want that.

Nice...I love a neat organized garage. I think it's so much easier to get work done when you stay organized. And being in Naval Aviation, we have some very strict rules about tool control. You should see our tool boxes.

mikey3.2 the second pic in your post is def a money shot. Your ride looks amazing! It makes me kinda miss my 99 front end. What % is your tint? What Air suspension are you running? When running air suspension, do you have to take out the inner fender lining or it doesn't rub when you low like that?

Well, since the cat's out of the bag in 3G, I thought I'd revive this thread.
Decided to do 5S (you Six Sigma/Corporate types know what I mean) on the garage. The ONLY reason was so I'd have a place to work on the TL-S's (2002 & 2007). Never had the itch to work on/mod my car before.
When I started my 3G MID was on 20% or 30% Oil Life. Wanted to finish to do my first DIY Oil Change and Tire Rotation.
Before (~ Month ago):
Temp Storage:
Cleaned and Painted the Floor First (~2 weeks ago):
Then Got Organized (~10 days ago):
Nearly Done (Yesterday):
Final Cleanup tomorrow - sweep and mop mostly.
Still a handful of items I've got to figure out what to do with. Also need to add a new circuit and put in some better lighting. After that, we'll see.
MID is now at 15%. First DIY Oil Change sometime next week.
Couple of other mods on the way as well.
Oh, and before I forget: Props to the guys in this thread and to mmade22 for the inspiration.

Nice job Bearcat94! I noticed that you use the floor plates for parking. I had pieces of wood on my old floor. When I finished my garage, I didn't want to pt the wood back but I also didn't want my wife to drive through my new cabinets. I ended up getting a pair of laser parkers. They work great and flip everyone out. http://www.instapark.com/category/instapark/ I found them online for $19 and change.

I aslo did a top coat with the Clear Acrylic from the same company.
Hopefully it'll hold up. Did A LOT of prep cleaning to try and make sure we had a good surface for the paint.
Dave - Nice Lasers. I might add them later. Got the "car stop" held in place with Velcro so it shouldn't slide around.
nj: GREAT cabinets and benchtop. I gagged when I asked for the price on a custom piece of Butcher Block.
