Welcome, your car is very nice, and the garage doesn't look too bad either

Thanks. I've always been a car guy so when we built our house I got an oversized 4 car garage with a mid rise lift. Here is a pic from the other direction while doing an oil change and tire rotation on my wife's RX.

Tell me more about the garage, what size is it and so on? We will probably be building a house of our own in the near future, so all info of your garage will be helpful, I'm trying to figure out what I'll need and what I'll be satisfied with And more pictures is always a good thing

The dimensions are 44' wide by 24' deep. The depth gives me room to have a work bench in front of the cars and still have room to walk around them, including my largest vehicle which is an extended cab Nissan Frontier 4x4. I have a floor drain in each bay and a spigot and hose reel installed on the interior wall. I had three 110v lines run to the garage to give me enough power for plenty of overhead light, a fridge, and any tools that I need to use. I also had a 220v line run for my air compressor. They put in a hookup for our central vac system, but we tend to grab the shop vac rather then drag the hose out of the house. I installed a pull down staircase and made some nice attic storage space above.

When we were building we were offered the option of using room rafters in the garage which would have given us major room above but we had to start drawing lines to stay within budget. We were also told to think within 4x8 dimensions because that's what prices were based off of. For example, going with a depth of 21' to 24' would be the same price. 25' to 28' would follow...

I'll post a pic from the outside.

That's a garage of quite nice size I think I'd be satisfied with the same size, but two doors would be enough for me. Thanks for the pictures once again, my garage fever is rising

Wow, havent posted in some time. Its def. not convertible weather in the northeast, or anywhere for that matter right now. Welcome, and congrats. Youll love the car, I cant even believe its been 6 months for me....4000 miles later. The best part of your garage has to be the posters of girls on the wall...thats too funny

Can you post some pics of your car? I'm looking for a black convertible and want to see a lot of pictures of it, and been trying to find pics of black convertibles with a white interior, but that seems almost impossible, so pics with a black interior are the next best thing

Hi ColtM4A3,
Your car is very very nice, so is your garage!
I'm curious, did you get a card key and a key fob (instead of 2 key fobs) for your 2010 IS350C purchase?
Thanks!
