Does this car make my shop look too big?

For the first time ever I am feeling cramped in my shop/garage since receiving my coupe and it's 46 boxes. It's 1800 square feet with about half dedicated to gear head stuff and half to woodworking. I remember when mine was empty like yours and I thought "man, I am never going to run out of room" . Yours looks great and enjoy it while it is still roomy!

On a side note, really looking forward to getting some feedback on your Mr. Cool installation. I have been kicking around the idea of installing a two head unit in my shop(s) but our weather is pretty mild in Oregon so just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

You know, when I read these kinds of posts it makes it really hard to walk out to my 480 sq. ft. garage and smile. (obligatory smiley)

Although I am sort of proud I manage to get a 4 post lift, 60 gallon upright compressor, metal lathe, 4 axis CNC mill, 8" bench grinder, computer, laser engraver, 3D printer, drill press, hydraulic press, bench sander, a very large tool box, powder coat booth, a number of storage shelves and a Type 65 kit with all the boxes crammed into that space. I still have a walking path through the space as well.

I think my entire garage could fit comfortably into any corner of your space. I would not know what to do with that much space,....Oh heck, who am I kidding. You can never have enough tools!

Congratulations! Great looking shop!

Shop looks just about the right size, room for more cars.
Nice to see you have a 2 ton split air system. Get it installed soon so you can enjoy the heat it can put out.

That looks awesome! Congratulations! I’m in the process of building a new garage too. Although it won’t be as big as yours it will be a big improvement. Looking forward to the day it looks as good as yours

You're going to love that mini split. That's the same one I put in my shop...36K BTU. The DIY pre-charged lines are a nice feature.

Thanks, Greg. I actually ordered a separate 16' pre-charged line since I really didn't want the big coil of line stuffed behind the outside unit.

WOW -- how to make me cry. I once had a garage like that, 40x60 with 12' clear and 2 floor lifts. What a mistake selling that place. Now I have an oversize 3 bay garage which is nice but never big enough. I'm going to go and sulk now.

Your photo makes me want to trade out my 17's for 18's...
