Garage Tiles : Just Finished !

CHOICE · 07-23-2003, 19:32

You still know my favorite!

**Autophile** · 07-23-2003, 19:36

Wow, very nice!!

CHOICE · 07-23-2003, 19:38

Thanks. I had the garage built so that one door opens behind the NSX and one in front of the NSX so I don't have to reverse. Notice the NSX is the everyday car.

NSXLuvr · 07-23-2003, 19:58

sweet collection of cars and a very nice job on the garage

You won the lottery too?

Nice garage and collection.

What kind of tiles are those? I've been considering doing something like this too.

dawggpie · 07-23-2003, 20:53

wow, can i pay rent and live in there??? that's nicer than my apartment

CHOICE · 07-23-2003, 21:41

They're porcelain tiles (G5): The tiles are rated G1 to G5. The G5 has the most density. I would recommend anything above G4. I needed it to support more than 7000 lbs (Hummer).

hejo · 07-23-2003, 22:13

Very nice! Now I'm convinced I want to do tile.

Also how do you like your BMW? I'm thinking of picking one up too.

JPS Europa · 07-24-2003, 09:16

Can you roll a floor jack on the tiles. I was wondering if the wheels would get caught on the edges. Looks Great!!!

**Soichiro** · 07-24-2003, 12:43

Tiles like this (but only in black and white colors) are available from Griot's garage. My garage which is 550 sq. ft. priced out at $7,000 in materials alone. I bought epoxy paint instead! I have seen this effect created inexpensively in paint by masking and using black and white paint. I bought the standard grey stuff for my garage.

1) Yes, you can roll a Jack on the tile, but noisy.
2) The BMW R1200c motorcycle has better quality than an NSX.
(too slow, but reliable, comfortable and has ABS)
3) Griot overcharges for tile. I looked into it. Black and white tiles have a great theme, but did not match the house well.
4) I will have to get the car lift after one more car (? if next NSX).

I guess I was not clear...more coffee!!! (for me, not you)
Can you roll the jack with the car on it without getting caught on the tile? I use this technique to swing a car 90° in the garage for long term repair/storage.

synergy004 · 07-24-2003, 15:02

if your garage holds all that, how big is the house. Looks nice good job, my garage is getting doen next month.

smoore · 07-24-2003, 15:05

i got the same picture...."justification for higher education"

NetViper · 07-24-2003, 15:45

I watched a show on travel channel or something.. "Extreme Garages". It was totally amazing. One day I hope to have an extreme garage

btw, nice garage.. love the cars.

CHOICE · 07-24-2003, 18:14

Thanks for the replys. You can roll a jack with car on tile, but I would recommend keeping the tiles no more than a milimeter apart (similar to the spacing used on marble tiles). Good eye on noticing the "justification" poster. I believe we all had similar posters growing up, such as the 6' giant red Lamorghini Countach, the rear end of a Porsche 911 turbo,
original Charle's angels, etc.

NSXBOX · 07-24-2003, 21:18

Nice! very nice!

note to myself: built garage like Choice.

ajnsx · 07-24-2003, 21:39

nice garage, it looks like the one from the xmen 1 movie.

jean grey "whats wrong?" looks at cyclops..
Cyclops; "where's my motorcycle?"

oh ps i hate you

92NSX · 07-24-2003, 21:39

NSXLuvr · 07-24-2003, 22:14

justification for higher education. Hmmm, that sounds familiar.

That is some advice I definitely should've heeded.
