Garages of golfmk7.com: picture thread

[GTI Jake]

That is a nice shed and garage, GTIJake. And the RollsRoyce of equipment you got in there with your pop's truck and all. That is one serious setup for pro's.

Definitely doesn’t happen over night, but I’m finally enjoying the fruits of decades of hard labor and long hours.

I'd love to have a shed just for the mower and other outdoor tools, but sadly, the HOA doesn't allow it

I'm in the same boat. I'm already trying to think of creative garage solutions to keep it from feeling cramped. Part of why I love this thread; full of great ideas.

In that case shelves above the garage door and up high on the walls is a good compromise.

My buddy Rick lives in town and is short on space, so we’ve been modding his garage and attic for maximum useful storage space.

That's what I'm talking about! Yeah, definitely a pro-shop setup for sure.

I hate HOA. I was bound by a lot of things in my post homes and these old post-retired ready to die folks knickknack'ed about everything. I had many friends on the HOA board so got away with a lot of borderline things. No HOA at my current residence.

But our village has a lot of new zoning restrictions that were created after my house was built. For example houses built in the last 20yrs are limited to max 3 car garage with a space of 750sq ft. My house was built in the 80's and no such restriction then. Unless I re-pour the foundation, my house along with a very few others in the community are allowed the full 900-920sq ft space for a '3 car' garage..

I still minimize foot print of my workbench, tool cases, and use as much mobile carts/creepers where I can to save space. My garage theme is basically a play room.

I've done shelves above the garage door and along the back wall of the 2 car side, and the single car bay (it's a L shaped 2+1) has an attic above it that I'm going to lay plywood down to get some extra storage. At least the garage is oversized, but when the time comes to get a 3rd car, I'm going to have to get creative......

Ideally, I'd like to avoid an HOA in my next house. They aren't very active to the point that you can't do basic landscaping without approval, but a shed wouldn't fly. I didn't submit requests for either the fence or playset and never had an issue. At least we have 2 pools, they take good care of the common area, and dues are cheap.

With an STI and Supra, I'm kind of doubting it's "Golfs everyday"...

you know what they say, a (fiesta st, wrx limited, supra, golf r) = 911 gt3/rs

Yeah, I use to have a MK7 GTI Autobahn so I was literally Golfing everyday.. but sold it a few yrs ago to get a WRX.
Will see how things go with the Mk8 Golf-R as it's on my short list.. I'm really into sport compacts for some reason and love my Golf-R.

SICK GARAGE!!!!!!! I am curious, why do you keep all of your hoods popped? And what is plugged in under the Supra?

My guess would be a battery tender

Thanks! GTIJake is correct. I don't drive these cars during the week, and hibernated in the winter, so I have them always connected to a battery manager while in the garage.

I know this is a car forum but mine small 18x20 has become more and more woodworking-centric over the years.

I've crammed as much as I can on the back wall:

But I still manage to squeeze the cars inside for parking and maintenance:
