Look closely at the upper right side of the second picture. John has someone hand polishing the shiny garage floor.

Its been a while since I showed off my garage/Lexus Storage Bedroom! Funny how I spend more time in the garage than I do in the house. Oh, and the lady polishing the floor (cleaning actually) is my wife. Isn't love grand!

Yep, it really is. And my SC is in it nearly every night. It also serves as a man cave, so when the Lexus isn't in it, I have a shuffle board table, sofa, and recliner. The epoxy floor allows those 3 items to glide over to one side of the garage very easily to allow room for the SC. When I leave the SC outside, it has a Cover on it. The garage/man cave also has a sink, side by side frig, and a 42" flat screen. As a teacher of over 40 years in the areas of woodshop and architecture--why not? Rewards of a long and very fun career. Life is good.

That garage is way cool. I am married to a retired high school teacher of 32 years but half of my garage is taken up with her gardening equipment and her car. I have to fight for room for my Allante and SC430.

First time with Zaino since purchase. So good to remove waxes and have only Zaino. No more car washes-wash by me with Zaino products. Love no more swirls and so smooth the cleaning cloths slide right off. 80s here today- top down weather!

What a tale! You sir, deserve some kind of award for your patience, perserverance and generally not losing your cool. I'm afraid I might have come unglued when I saw the first dents while the car was still on the carrier. This car is obviously where it was meant to be!! Sometimes the most memorable journeys are the ones fraught with the most challenges. Good for you, Solman!! Oh and btw... your car is stunning!!!

I've read some other of your posts and I totally agree with your final advice - find the right car, fly out to inspect it and drive it home. The drive home is half the fun! That's what I did when I went searching for my supra and I found a beautiful 10 year old up in Seattle with just 19k miles. I did it with my son and it was an epic 2 day road trip. Unfortunately another of my sons destroyed it (see my supra album for before and after pics) but he came out of it without a scratch so now I'm happy with my '05 SC
