Not that they are not both very nice cars.... There is just something wrong with having a Chevrolet and a Ford in the same space... Of course I shouldn't say anything. I drive a Chevy Duramax and the wife drives a Ford Fusion. But that is just what came to mind when I saw that pic. Some nice bucks on the wall by the way...

Well, while I'm lucky as get out to have 3-car, for a 3-car it's on the small side. Kind of narrow and not all that deep, due to the staircase in the middle, and the chimney on the right side. Luckily, the ceilings are crazy high, and there are no support posts within the space at all.

Pre-bike, I had built some very stout but ugly storage shelves in the space besides the chimney and wall, as my workbench is in front of the chimney. I used to keep my compressor and a tool cart under there.

But with kids, the tightness, I looked for places to stash the bike. Had to keep all three cars in the garage, or else it would have been easy. Anywhere I put it would have required moving a vehicle out of the way, no way around that.





I ended up relocating the compressor after I built another shelf at the end of the garage, using the lip of the foundation. this was the only way to get the compressor (and other items) tight to the wall, It's bolted to the shelf as well.




Turns out, the space was a good fit for the bike.





I have to hug the chimney so that it fits when I park it on the stand, and I need to get if as far back as possible, due to the limited space, this the rubber floor tiles I installed around it. But it works, It's out of the way, and I do cover it if I'm going to do anything remotely messy on my work bench.








When I bought this bike in October, the original owner gave me everything that he got when he bought it, including the dealer's picture that the dealer gave him when he bought it.

Not yet the "RV-holder" size that I want, but we'll get there one day!

Haha, thanks! It would have been cool to have two Camaros in garage bucks but the wife fell in love with the Ferd. The bucks came from South Texas.

I have radiant heated floors in my garage keeping the floor above 60. do you think I still should keep carpet/pads under my tires or my bike on a lift. I always used to use a lift, but with the heated floors not sure I need to anymore.

This was formally a quilting room. I cleaned it out and found a much better use for it. The a/c and heat are very nice. Along with the carpet! Lol. A lift is next on the list for home furnishings.

Very nice Z!!!
My future car to "play with" I'm hoping to get 70 1/2 Split front bumper Z28. I want same style rear spoiler you have. What yr is that? I doubt I'll find the one I want but either 70 or 71 I'll settle for. Still can't figure out how to post pics
