That is not a garage. That is a grand ballroom someone parked in.

A garage has grease... and dirt. 

the picture has neither grease nor dirt.

Ergo, it is not a garage.





A Maserati shelter does not a garage make.

The garage that had the monster parked in it belongs to the owner of Griots car care.

In the "garage" with the single Ferrari and lounge, I noticed the car is tilted somewhat.  What is up with that floor?


Mitt..of course, I'd take any of those.


Exept the one filled the Vettes.

I was wondering the same thing.  In 1 photo it is tilted, then the other it looks not.  I was wondering if it was to stop the car from rolling and hitting the glass wall or if they sit inside it and tilt the floor to get a better view out???

I noticed the monster after I looked at the pics for the 2nd time.

At what point do we stop calling Jay's garage a "garage" and start calling it a "museum"?

Jay employs a full time steam mechanic to tinker with his steam boiler driven cars.  Probably a handful of conventional mechanics also.

I spent a few days in this BMW collector's garage back in '07.  It was phenomenally cool.  8)

I realize this is a revived old thread.

The reason the floor tilts is so you can roll the car out without cranking it up in the 'lounge'. There was a show that aired awhile back that featured most of the garages in the pics which is how I know why the floor tilts.
