Pft. If I could open my house for my car, I would. I might do that once the wifey goes away.

It's cool. But not amazing. I'd like to see the other finalists.

A vid of the garage... nice, but nothing special.

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I7CzBwhInbM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I7CzBwhInbM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

I do not know how many votes the winner received but, on page one Entry # 0245 (Week 12) got 562, so you have to look at that POS... then on page #2 Entry # 0171 (Week 12) received 362 and that garage is amazing!

I have a 30" screen and had to scroll to see that image. Time for a bigger screen.

Kind of cool, but at the same time kind of ghey. That guy also seems like an ass clown, sounds like he just paid someone to design it and he drives the car there, no actual significance to this garage other then it is a gallery to honor the car. :eyeroll:

That website makes me cringe just thinking about how much those garages are worth.

#240 has the best collection by far

I guess you don't deal with architects very often. They're all a bit douchey.

Shame more Maserati people don't hang out here, we probably could have shifted the win to them! Not too many votes on a lot of the entries.

meh - the basis of the design was virtually a ramp to allow the car to roll out.

the other finalists' renderings are very unprofessional. not like im an architect or anything

Don't sweat it chilly, they spent more than you.

Hell, for as much as some of those must've cost, I'd have a kick ass garage too. Easy if you've got the coin.

I'd like to see what one of those "winners" could do on a budget - say $1000 at chilly's or my place. Now THAT would be a garage challange.

I cant believe some of you guys like that. It makes me annoyed...that's not a garage. He parks his car in a livingroom. A garage has tools, compressors and babe calendars. Plus, a real lift...not a hydraulic ramp to push your car out. And, for such an expensive room...why not have a Ferrari?

fuck that. it ain't a garage until your floor is stained with motor oil. otherwise it's just a big room your fat ass wallet paid for.

Pretty sweet... but I've seen hotter. Just hang out at the Garage forum on 6speedonline and you'll see much, much nicer.
