Show me your garaged 996

Let's see your 996 in your garage. I bet we all have some good bits to talk about .......e.g., there's a real cool bottle of gunk on my garage floor So here's a pic of your average Porschephile's garage. As you can see I keep mine neat and tidy Where's Wally?

Oh great now I have to see Andy's garage in Atlanta again.... That's a nice conraption you have for your hard top, but how do you get in and out of the car without banging the door on the brick wall?

He get's out on the other side... RHD car. -RyanM

Hold on. Give me 20 years.

As and you shall receive

Nobody beats Andy's garage in Atlanta .....but his garage gives me vertigo

rost12, Thanks for posting that. Sheesh that's the cleanest, sparsest looking garage I ever did see. Are you sure that's not the dealers storefront? BTW: your Beemer looks gorgious. Only thing I would change is the amber sidelights

I'd love to post a pic, but alas, my car sits with about 1000 other cars (lots of porkers too) in a garage on the lower west side of Manahattan

Thanks, Scouser We just recently had the cabinets and the flooring done, need to paint the walls now and get some Porsche poster/flag to complete the decorations And one way to combat amber front lights is to shoot in b&w, heh. I am changing the amber lights on the C4S, though, rest assured

Hey Rost what kind of flooring is that? Bobby

That's 4 layers of epoxy with paint chips imbedded in the second layer to break up the monotony.

What does the C2S badge represent Berny? Was there a C2S? Just curious since i have a MY00 C2 CAB as well and would like to add the 2 to the rear decklid.

I've added a Porsche flag/banner since I've taken these pictures, but here you go anyway....

Another angle

Oh yeah, forgot to attach my pic (the CAB with its fellow German playmate)

My unfinished crappy garage... it's on my to-do list this summer to finish it... I'm actually looking forward to it because it's an eye sore now.

As far as I can tell it is RoW only and only for the millenium 2000 edition cars. There were MY00 cars but there were also millenium 2000 cars. Your log book should say its a C2S if it is. Strangely it lacks many of the "S" bits such as red calipers. But it does come with 030, stiffened chasis, and some other sporty bits.

Here is the Orient Express's garage during spring cleaning.

Nice levitation skills there, Orient Express

Thats Orients Land Speeder Mod.

Beautiful garage, Rob!!

man... thats not a garage, thats a prison... you really gotta clean that up heres mine, not a 996, but hey, whos counting, plus, shes rarely in there, no garage queen here.

Thanks for the info Berny. I learn something everyday on these boards!

you guys are making me jealous. My car stays out on the streets. So, I guess I have the biggest garage!

How about garage Boxster? Garage Cayenne needs some love

Kevin, you are too much! Nice stable, black looks great but a tough one to keep clean.

Very impressive, Kevin M. If you don't mind, can you tell me where you got those aluminum letters, "996" and "Boxster"?

matterhorn762: hahaha i have the exact same "no parking sign" in my garage "porsche parking only" all other vehicles towed away!

If you look closely, not that you'd want to, at my garage you'll see the same sign hanging on the stairs next to the Porsche crest.... it's funny cause it's true.

Orient: How did you get the car on all four jackstands? I know you can use a central jacking point in the rear, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the front.

Orient's real name is David Blaine

Hey Moogle, you gota understand something. My garage was built in 1815 so it tends to look a bit shody. But that's the celanest it has ever been. You should have seen it last week! Hmmm....1815.... I wonder if the owner was overseas burning down white houses at the time

First raise the car using the rear lift point next to the rear wheel. Lift up the car high enough to get the jack stand under the front lift point. Next do the same for the other side. Next lift the car from the center of the engine case behind the sump cover, and put the remaining 2 stands on the rear lift points.

Orient, you gotta teach me how to do that one day...without photoshop

Use the force Berny...

Thanks Poursha Wifey got me the color matching Craftsman roll away cabinet for my birthday. Damn OE, you could eat off the bottom of your motor.

Oh stop, you guys are making me blush!

Oh no not Andy!.... I told you Andy I get virtigo looking into your garage. I guess you'd notice if you had an RMS leak eh? You and Kevin M make me sick. I hate you both

Scouser I just checked out your car. Are "Air conditioning, Climate control, Automatic Breaking System, and Air bags" RoW factory options? Also where did you get the mount for your iPod, that looks great. Andy that garage is just plain SiCk

Wow! Being new here I've never seen Andy's garage. I'm currently getting underway with building a new home and I have some new great ideas from both Andy's and Kevin's Garages. Very impressive! My son and I have been dreaming of a garage/shop with the chequered floor.

Andy that's okay, I never get tired of seeing it I'm going to do something very similar on the floor... just finishing the basement now, and after that project is complete I'm on the garage!! Rob

Hey Andy, What kind of tiles are those? I need to do something in my garage because the concrete gets very dangerous when wet and since we are in Chicago, that means salt, slush, snow and other wet stuff on the ground. Does it get slick when wet? How about the maintanence and cleanup. Thanks Bobby

Thanks guys!! My next project is floor tiles.. I've added large floursent lights and a aluminum tool chest since those pics.. The aluminum signs came from a guy on ebay.

OK my turn...

Hey Kirby: You gotta turn down the resolution of your marvelous photos. they take forever to load, even with broadband! Try running them thru the "save for web" function of PS and make their size no bigger than 800x800.

mine

Gary, I never knew there was a "save for Web" option on PS. I made the change, let me know if that helped.

The tiles are Composite Vinyl Tiles (CVT), which can be purchased at any Home Improvement or Flooring store. The Manufacturer is Azrock VCT VS-300 (white) and VS-304 (black) and they are solid in color. The floor is first covered in glue (mastic) and the tiles are simply put down after the glue sets up. Very easy to do. The tiles will hold up to water so you can drive on them any time. I put on several coats of floor wax to keep them clean. Some tire compounds can stain the tiles so I put a piece of clear plastic under each tire (roll the car onto them) if I don�t plan on driving the car for a while. If they do stain, I just strip the wax and put down another coat. The tiles have been down for about five years with no problems. They will not crack if tools are dropped but may dent if a heavy concentrated weight is placed on them. For example a floor jack if lifting a car. I usually put plywood under the jack to prevent this from happening. Also, They can be slippery when wet.

Kirby: It loaded much faster. The save for web function will take a JPEG and reduce its size by as much as 60% with no resolution loss. Now all you have to do is make the photo smaller. The way i do it is 1st make the image 800x600 (Image ->Image size) , then save for web. See how much faster it loads: And you can see the whole thing without having to scroll left and right!

not such great pics since they're more of the car than the garage, but you get the idea. i live in a condo and the entire basement is a garage. i'm selling it in the next month or so and looking to get my own garage!

Rob in WA, I like your garrage the best. Gives the Porsche at home look.

Orient: Check your inbox.

It is really quite beautiful... I guess you have a log house

Actually, I believe some Canadians marched down and burnt down what, at the time, was the pink house...painted white after the fire.

Here's my other garage I wish!

And my summer home... j/k

They parked a CGT and Lambo in someone's office!!!

Thanks guys No log house Rob, just always wanted a log garage. he he - Here's the kitchen after we redid it a couple of years ago.

Very beautiful. Looks like a warm place, I don't like very modern kitchens and bathrooms. Did you opt for a Viking fridge, or is that a sub zero?

Not impressive, but different.... SPEEDSTER MISTY PROJECT CAR MY GARAGE PROJECT TOPLESS MISTY AFTER WAXING

Always love seeing that Speedster Don. Sub Zero, I didn't even know Viking made refrigerators. I'm not crazy about the Viking stove, it looks nice though. We had a Five Star in our old place and I liked that a lot more, much better simmer. I'll wait thirty seconds more to boil water if I can do a braised lamb shank w/out have to stack the burner grates.

I hear ya, we had sub zero in our old house and I really liked it. Our new place we did Jenn-Air for the stove and fridge - fridge is ok at best but the jenn-air stove works very well. I always liked the red ***** on the five star
