I'm also in the process of designing a garage. I wanted to build a second floor but was wondering how to get access to it. I was watching the biker build-off shows on the discovery channel and they had Arlen Ness's new shop on it, and he has a 4 story building. He has access to every floor via a ramp on the side of the building, but that takes up more space. I thought of a car elevator inside the building, but the ramp idea seems to be more practical.

Ramps are a security problem. You have to have a way to lock each level that way.

I had my car hoist built 1' taller with the thought of putting a second floor mezzanine in. I could then just lift the car on the hoist and drive off onto the second floor mezzanine. Then I got a deal on some bolt together mezzanine but it is about 1' taller than the hoist so I will need to build ramps but it will work.. Then I got even smarter and just built another building.......and filled my mezzanine full of car crap........

This might be out of line for asking, so don't feel you have to answer if you don't want, but exactly what do you people do for a living, to be able to afford so many of these fine cars?

I'm 32, own a nice home, have a few cars and a '67 RS conv., earn good money, but don't own (and can't see myself being able to own) so many nice cars. Am I in the wrong line of work, not playing the stock market (or lottery) enough, or am I just a youngin' that allows my wife too much say about what I can buy? lol
