I'm a 31 year old dude living in a 600 sq. ft. apartment. I've managed to fit 3 of my 5 games in here which I'm grateful for. I've started to look for my first house, but that really doesn't excite me as much as having my first garage!

If you can find a house with an attached garage that you could expand depth wise with a flat 4 car driveway that would be ideal. Mine is detached.

Look for a very large garage with an attached house....my 2 cents.
Maybe in Plainfield?? 
Quoted from MustangPaul:Oh Pappy your askin for it. I'm just finishing up my garage/shop. Here's a couple of pictures. 10x24x36, 21x24 just for the Mustang when it comes back.
Sweet! Looking good. I wish I had a garage/shop like that.
Quoted from Skypilot:Almost never this clean.
Those parts drawers...... DROOL!!
Quoted from dsuperbee:These are the cleanest most organized garages I've seen. I'm embarrassed to post a pic of mine.
Nothing to be embarrassed about if you're using your Garage as it was meant to be used....

Eh, they are for whatever you need them to be. I think of every square inch of everything I own or rent as my "shop". I will try to post some pics in the next few days but to be honest, you won't be able to decipher much at all from the pics.
Quoted from myork82:Those parts drawers...... DROOL!!
They are always getting reorganized
Quoted from MrBally:Nothing to be embarrassed about if you're using your Garage as it was meant to be used....
That's true. I'm going for something in between my buddies race car garage and a second game room. Here's his garage.

Nice. I have three of your games. Great workshop
Quoted from Skypilot:They are always getting reorganized
That's sweet man!
Quoted from xlr8:Well, OK... Here's the garage. No pins in there because they are in the basement.....
Nice garage. Where do you work on your pins?
Moved here a few years ago and finally started turning my garage/shop into just a shop. It's an internal 1 car garage 14x18. Closed off and removed garage door. Now trying to organize all my storage and parts bins. Tip of the day. don't just throw those nut, bolts and screws in what ever draw is open. Spent days just sorting out junk.

Got more work done this week. Rearranged the one side to use space better. Lot of storage bins to start filling.

Mrbally. I like your style
I'm in the process of converting my garage to a workshop. The one bay will be the spray booth, the other bay is the sandblast/powdercoat booth and the front 1/3 the workshop area. I'm having a dedicated 200amp service installed in the next few weeks. I just had a 1.5 ton 18,000 btu heat pump mini split system installed last week.

Wish I could have devoted my garage/shop into all shop but baby (Mustang) needed a place to sleep. 
Quoted from blownfuse:It'll get better. Believe it or not, there are 60+ games in that area. Getting close to rotation day.
Are you married? My wife would have served me divorce papers if my garage looked like that! LOL.
Quoted from TimBoch:Looks like I am one of the few that uses my garage to park my cars. This is how it looked after the complete renovation last summer.
Hey Tim, your not to far away, you'll have to come over and play.
Quoted from bstyles:My "Man Cave."
You lucky dawg. Cool, looks like something from the movies.
Quoted from bstyles:My "Man Cave."
Now THAT'S my kind of garage. What does the rest of it look like?
Quoted from MustangPaul:Now THAT'S my kind of garage. What does the rest of it look like?
Here's the B/W wide-body wall (though not all are shown, all 7 are there) and another pic of some of the cars (before we added lifts and more cars).

Oh crap. 
I think I just shit my pants. Will you adopt me. 
Quoted from ForceFlow:Bah, that's no cave...that's a showroom
He also has a fully stocked bar there.

Let me hop a plane and I'll be right over.
