This man is living my dream


There's nothing at all wrong with spending a large sum of money on a nice garage. After all, you need a good, safe place to keep your two- and four-wheeled belongings, right? And, assuming you've got the disposable income and lots of toys, we suppose even a multi-million-dollar garage is within the boundaries of acceptability... even if that's 25 times the average cost of a new home in America.

Keep scrolling below and you'll find a video from HGTV's Million Dollar Rooms program, hosted by Carter Oosterhouse, in which a $6 million garage is featured in all its glory. The first portion of the garage is pretty nice, housing a large collection of (sigh... mostly unridden) motorcycles, but that's not what makes this garagemahal stand out from the crowd.

That would be the massive hydraulic elevator used to access the garage's lower portion. We'll let you all decide whether or not this garage is worth its cost – the elevator sucks down $25 in electricity each time it's operated! – or whether or not it's filled with a properly exotic batch of vehicles. All you gotta do is watch the video below, then let us know what you think in the Comments.

P.S. I don't understand the "normal" cars in the garage. I guess he is more into bikes than exotic card

Damn, that's nuts!!

A neighbor of ours finished his garage last year and I got to see it a couple weeks ago. Pretty crazy. It's bigger then most houses (nearing 3800 sq ft not counting storage and a small greenhouse attached to the side) and he had 4 cars and 8 motorcycles (plus a few dirt bikes) in it. Couple hot rods, few custom bikes, but also some old ones (saw a '41 Harley)... plus a new Camaro and newer Viper. It's an 8 car garage, plus he has a 3 car on the house (could be 4 but he has a wood shop in there too). Nuts.

wow

mn2trance

Damn, and I thought having a 4 car garage was living it up! If I had that guy's money, that would be a working garage with lifts and everything to work on my cars.

Wow, that is crazy but did I see a Chevy cruze? You have a garage like that and no crazy cars!?

Yumcha

Whoa.

WILLDOGS

Yup, Like I said I think he is more into bikes it seems. Although the "Bus" he has if fuckin awesome on it's own. He also had a few nice cars on the elevator under the Bus that they really didn't get close shots of.

fawk.

saw this yesterday. So he made a bomb shelter/garage for his cars, and there are cars in there that I wouldn't even wanna put in my garage.
I like his bike collection, seems that's what he's into, more than cars, but kind of a waste I think. Get some exotics in that garage damn it

1StGenCL

Yea, I understand he likes bikes more but a chevy cruze? I can't imagine having bikes like that and not throwing an F car in the mix, clearly he is going for a wow factor

AZuser

Everythings but what a waste for those bikes to never have been ridden or even started up.

Pete2010

Sounds like from the comments, he has a $30 mil car collection he moved out before the video was shot.

And the malibu was the people who were filming.

Of course the youtube comments could be total BS. But you have to imagine if the guy went so overboard to protect his vehicles, I bet he has some serious ones.

chill_dog

Cool garage.

Majofo

Watching that video was like getting an awesome bj and before climaxing, looking down to see Janet Reno

Rick_TL-S

The lift is a pretty cool, that's about it, I guess. The only good thing about those bikes never being ridden is that at least they'll be worth some good money in years time.

MarbleGT

Yea...completely different minded than us.

His bike's arent even anything special.

If I had that underground garage, I'd have a Koenigsegg parked next to a Zonda parked next to a M1 Abrams

Damn, I am legitimately jealous! That guy really is living the dream. I've always dreamed of having a subterranean garage like that, elevator and all.

I was about to post that....

HBaJ

Yeah it's true, I've seen this posted before online. It was like 10 Best Garages or something..the last picture I saw taken down there had some more serious wheels hanging down there.

Ken1997TL

That's one helluva an elevator

1slo23

The "other" cars

On The Run

Wow, it looks like he has 5% of the Z8's imported into the USA.

Also, while his car interests are more interesting than previously thought, its sad to see that his interest in buying the same model 10 times over in the same color transfers from motorcycles to cars.

WTF is a Chevy Cruze doing in a multi-million dollar garage?

honda_nut

To each their own, but this guy has poor taste. All he cares about is having the biggest and the most. Why would you ever want 10 of the same motorcycle if you never drive them. And the garage is nothing spectacular; looks like a warehouse. The walls are plain white, there are fluorescent tube lights, and the floor is an average coating that you can do yourself. Sure he has an elevator, but even that is nothing new.

"I didn't want to ever have a case where a car would hit a pillar." What!? If that's the case, then he shouldn't be driving. He's a nutcase.

Rick_TL-S

So THIS is the guy whom everyone thought had 1 of the 2 black F1 LMs in the world.

Shame these cars are like the bikes. Collector pieces that'll never see the road. The 2 exact same Thunderbirds still have the covering on the seats.

I think he is a bit of a hoarder. Seriously.
He hoards cars and bikes and never intends to use them. Ever? Cookoo but a very very very rich one.

Such a waste of money

neuronbob

So much win in post #27.....so much win..... Better than my shabby-assed 2-car garage. I'm thinking about putting in a third bay but am not the baller these guys are.....

Majofo

Oh the day I pull my zonda into the living area of the pool house overlook. I'll know I've made it.

I think the lift if pretty cool, but the garage is sort of plain. Here is a thread I posted a few years back on dream garages, these are examples of what I would want in a garage. https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/dream-garages-752736/

I always wonder how those people that park their cars in their kitchens/living rooms or whatever have it ventilated so you're not eating with a bunch of car exhaust in the air...assuming the cars actually get driven.
