Finally after many long years, my garage is done. I think I've been trying to get this sucker built since about a year after I got my k5 in 2000. Its not as nice or as big as some of your garages, but hey, I am in NYC 
Specs: 25'w,23'd,17ft tall, no wood construction. Cinderblock interior wall, brick exterior wall. Insulated flat roof. 2 10ft wide by 8 feet tall steel roller doors (remote control). Wired for 220. Regular plugs every 10 feet or so. Solid Concrete base pad (3ft thick). Driveway is 16ft long by 25ft wide.
I took a lot of advice from you guys when designing this garge. Like, the 8 feet tall opening. And the 220 volts. And the multitude of plugs. Not to mention the height of the garage, since I've seen way too many pictures of you all rolling your trucks in on steel wheels...
I also learned something else that was important over the years- GREASY SPOTS. how I hate seeing greasy spots in the garage and driveway. So before I get to any wrenching.... I've started to epoxycoat the whole garge floor, including the driveway. I got the stuff from my friend who's in construction, and does the parking lots for Target, etc. THis stuff is more like a rubber coating than epoxy. It doesnt dry "hard" and slippery, its acutally non slip!
I will take some pictures later today or tomorrow...

...makes sense huh?--build a big garage,and leave 2 out of 3 vehicles outside to rust,so you can store junk you might never use!.. 
--I still have yet to wire the garage properly..been using heavy duty extention cords from the house garage 30ft away for over 13 years! 
...have to finish that one of theese days...
