Here are some pictures to show what I have in mind. I think it will work very well. In fact, you won’t even see the box when garage door is open.

Thanks. I think I came up with a good solution. My garage is like yours except I have overhead storage that begins right where the garage door opener is, and the floor of the storage is level with the garage door. I’m going to install the XL lift above the garage door when open and offset as...

@satchurator and all: So, my total garage height at the relevant point in my garage is 102.5", but let's say 102" From the smarter home website, they say that the the XL lift requires 9.5" for the mechanism itself (let's say 10"), plus the height of whatever is being lifted, which, in this...

There are hundreds of suppliers of similar tiles. The trick is to go through a design professional. The manufacturer is blowing you off because they typically sell wholesale at big volumes. But, someone out there is buying at big volumes and then reselling to smaller jobs. The key is that if...

Thank you very much for taking the time. I’m actually considering offset as well. How much of an offset do you have? Is it really easy to swing it over into place?

Thank you so much for taking the time to help. So, I’m concerned about clearance for cars other than the Taycan CT (e.g., a full size SUV). My question is about the dimension between the ceiling and the bottom of the roof box when you have lifted it up as high as you can. I plan to subtract the...

That’s what I’m installing! What’s the minimum distance I can count on when using the Universal XL lifter with Porsche Performance roof box from ceiling to bottom of roof box when fully lifted? Thanks

I thought I would provide a mid-way update. Floor and walls are 90%. I'm waiting for the wall cabinets (4 x 42" red metal cabinets) that will be installed on the back wall lined up with the doors (i.e., the alloy floor tiles). Until then, I have a few boxes sitting around that should not be...

Side mounted rear view mirrors are a nuisance. They should be camera operated and displayed at corners of display above Steering Wheel (and center display if you like) AND on the windshield like HUD while you are backing up (or if you have blind spot detection on).

Thanks to remodeling in another part of the house, I no longer need to use the garage for much storage, which is a blessing. Each time any of my cars have been damaged it has been in my own garage when people were trying to get something or something falls off a shelf. I’m trying to avoid that...

So, I'm in the middle of my garage remodel, but today was the first day that I could actually pull the Taycan in, and I'm really happy with the floor pattern for the RaceDeck floor that I chose. I used red to show the edges of the garage doors and the back wall, and the Taycan camera guide...

HBO just released the new season of "Painting with John", which I like a little too much. https://www.hbo.com/painting-with-john I actually have a few of his prints. Hilarious and creative. I like this eclectic content. Anyone else a fan or know of similar content? Of course, I also like...

From my perspective, you cannot really compare the two. EAP is designed to drive for you (albeit under supervision and with hands on the wheel). You turn EAP on and EAP stays on unless it warns you very Audibly that it is not on or that you must take over (unless you have manually overriden it...

I'm also insane about bikes. I started out racing YZ 125 and then YZ 250s as a kid. I got rid of my street bikes after getting paranoid when a few friends had very bad accidents. I have been thinking about getting a Ducati (maybe xDiavel or even a Panigale) or Live Wire, but my wife and kids...

In looking at this picture, I realize that this car did not have one option that I really liked on mine: a bad@ss hood mounted tach . . .

True, but I have an issue with having cars that I rarely use. Unfortunately, that has led me to give up a few cars that I miss to this day. While not a collectible car per se, I still miss my '67 Firebird convertible . . . This picture is not a picture of my former car, but my car looked...

Porsche just released the 718 Spyder RS: https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/718/718-spyder-rs/ I want it. I want it almost as much as I want the GT3 RS or the 718 Cayman GT4 RS or the 911 Dakar or even just the GT3 Touring. For each of these cars, I would want to load them up with the...

Currently, I have open storage on both sides of the garage, which means you have to back/pull out of the garage before passengers can enter. One goal of remodeling is to remove everything from sides of the garage so that passengers can easily open doors while the car is still in the garage. I...

Haha. No more alcohol in the garage for me! when I used to race, I would rebuild motors in my garage over the winter. One night I was working away and had a few glasses of wine. At the end of the night when I sought to use Brake Kleen to help clean up the slime on the floor under the engine...

Thank you all. Another goal that I have is to move all of my spare tires and rims from above the garage doors to just above the floors so that I no longer have to climb a ladder and lift them up and down. Each year I get older and each vehicle seemingly has heavier rims and tires. They ones for...
