I'm glad I'm not the only one, we have a Vacuflo whole-house vacuum system and I have several ports set up in the garage :biggrin:

Yep the NSX is my Dad's and the 2004 G35 is mine......Come to think of it I have not driven my car in weeks. Thanks for reminding me. :smile: Here it is one of the few times it has seen the sun this year.
Pic before I got the NSX...but shes in there now!
460 sqft mancave upstairs, 1200 sqft workspace down....
Is this attached to your house or is this one of those garage facilities? I love the idea of the gated garage facilities with like minded car enthusiasts around. The layout looks like one of those facilities but maybe its just because the design is efficient.
Sadly, living in a condominium means my NSX has to sleep in a communal indoor parking garage. Good thing is that this parking garage is well maintained, well lit, climate controlled, and most importantly, is of high security.
My workspace, on the other hand, is state of the art:
All the work and mods to my NSX have been done by me at this facility. I have a twin post full service lift and a quick service scissor lift at my disposal. Also have access to the tire machine, wheel balancer, alignment machine, various shop tools including A/C machine, transmission jacks, floor jacks, jack stands, engine hoists. . .you name it I got it.

Re: My garage in-progress
Thus is coming off really really nice.
I am currently finishing up my new garage. Just finished tiling the floor, and am in the middle of putting up some cabinets (They're Ikea kitchen cabinets). Unfortunately, I sprained my thumb while installing the wall cabinets, so I'll have to rest for a couple of days until the swelling and pain subsides.
What it's like now:

This is where some of my baby sleeps at night 
Wow, you guys keep mightly tidy ships. I do a bunch of projects / wrenching in my garage and it is messy. It also doubles as storage space so I have boxes and tires piled to the ceiling. Hats off to you guys that keep your garages so clean.
Nice cars! I noticed quite a few blue NSXs in this thread. Gotta give a shout out to my fellow brethren. :biggrin:
I got them @ Griots garage but they do not seem to carry them anymore. They are just like this but w/ a slight angle upward and longer. Single stud install and they will hold up the world.

Thanks... what's the length on your hanger used for two wheels?
24" long.
Believe it or not, my wife picked out the 3 colors. I have no idea where she got the inspiration from. I do know she's never been to a Honda dealership!
I also just installed a garage vac, it works really good.
basic 3 car garage. Messy on the inside haha.
Are both of those NSXs yours? I'm jelly!

Haha don't even!!! You have three beauties!
That's an old pic from last year. Still have the 97 sold the 91 on the right.
Mine
hondarulez, is your NSX for sale ? I saw a silver NSX for sale in the area, and since I only ever saw 3 NSX in the wild, I thought it might be yours
I love the idea of driving an NSX and an older, more ordinary Honda car as a daily driver. This is my ultimate goal

In this case the daily driver is my NSX, and yes this is the nsx for sale.
It is a gated garage condo facility for enthusiasts. 32 bays, clubhouse and (soon) carwash on site
It is great up here - keeps everything warm and clean during the winter project months
Re: My garage in-progress
May I make a suggestion: this space looks great but with all the hard surfaces it's an echo chamber, sound will travel not just up and out but it will be unpleasant to work in there. Find a place that sells building supplies. Go there and order a bag (6 pieces) of Owens Corning 703 insulation. Get 4x8x2 sheets. It's fire proof. Cover them with any type of cloth you like, any color. If you want that fire proof too, buy it from guilford of Maine. Hang the panels just off the ceiling or attach directly to the ceiling. You can glue, screw, strap, etc. they will absorb all the noise in there. Your workspace will be 100% more pleasant. Stand in the middle now with the door closed and clap your hands. You will hear a massive echo. That will be completely gone. The insulation is less than $100 for all 6. You can also get 2'x4'x2", you'll just need more of them. If you need hanging hardware PM me. It's easy.

Here's mine. Cabinets look great, but I'm an impatient man. When I want a tool, I want it to fly into my hand; no opening of any cabinet to look for it. So I went with pegboard across all 3 walls of the garage. No drawers or doors to open, everything can be seen from anywhere. Since this pic was taken, I've added more overhead storage, and compressed air quick disconnect fittings/hoses along the back wall and on a ceiling rack.
JackOlsen, I've seen garages that were far bigger, fancier, more expensive, and better equipped than yours, but none that impressed me more. It's a work(space) of art.
