Saw this special on some travel channel or something and agree: Quite the place. Also understand they want to expand into every object of boats planes etc. etc. across the nation.

All that's missing is a track

Very cool, I heard of a place, similiar to this, were they have condo/garages but they were on a race track that only owners/renters have access to.

BTW, what are those at 2:05?

That ugly car is a Sebring-Vanguard’s 1974 CitiCar


1974 Vanguard-Sebring CitiCar - The History of the Electric Car - TIME



When people think of electric cars as glorified golf carts, the CitiCar may be what they have in mind. Brought out in the mid-1970s, during the height of the oil crisis, the CitiCar could top 30 mph and had a reliable range of 40 miles — in warm weather. The cars were priced to be competitive with the Volkswagen Beetle, and by 1975, Vanguard-Sebring was somehow the sixth largest automaker in the U.S. But the tiny, tinny CitiCar suffered due to safety concerns — it had all the crumple resistance of a beer can — and the model didn't outlast the 1970s, where it definitely belonged.

Now all we need to see is a Santa's workshop-style garage, with retired or ex-Scaglietti factory workers building Ferraris in it lol!

Default 6 Million dollar garage: Lake Tahoe

Link below includes an 8min video.

Real-life Batcave: $6 million garage features an RV elevator | Technology News Blog - Yahoo! News


When software mogul Tom Gonzalez sold his company and bought a luxurious estate on Lake Tahoe, he needed a place to keep his massive collection of cars, trucks, and motorcycles. So, he sunk part of his fortune into building a garage larger than most homes, complete with a huge underground bay capable of holding up to 40 cars.

Wait till you see this pad.
