LOL. Looks like the truck had a grudge against the Ferrari, thus the scooters were spared in the callmiro pix.

Super nice garage
A Porsche guy I grew up next to back in S. Carolina moved into a town home several years ago. The original floor plan had a large downstairs bedroom and a two-car garage. It's already a big home, so I guess he chopped down that bedroom to make it a 3-car garage (L-shaped). However, he also put in a lift so that he can fit 2 Porsches on top of each other, and two other cars. Wish I had a pic of it.

True as regards Texas
My 5000 sqft house on 15000 sqft lot cost me $525K - brand new. And that's in a very very good area of Houston.
My 1400 sqft condo built in 1980 cost me about the same as this house. And that was Los Angeles. :lol:

Before all you guys with your massive homes and your massive garages criticize me, cut me some slack, I live in Brooklyn, NY! I'm lucky to even have a garage! It's tiny I know but it serves its purpose. Enjoy!

I only have German cars in my garage ( actually its a private outdoor parking ) , I've got my eyes on the '13 GT500 but I'm afraid to be disappointed

The only other German car I have is a Porsche. Well if you saw from my pic I have a KR and while the numbers are amazing it sucks terribly on the street. Lucky to go from 0-60 in 5 seconds with all the spin. Dissapointed for sure. The 2013 GT500 is getting amazing reviews even on the street. I might take the plunge.

That same 5000sqft house in Los Angeles, (depending on the area) would cost you around 2-3 million.
Here is what a similar sized home around my area costs.

My parents' 5 bedroom home, on 1/3 acre, with a pool, on a lake, in a gated community, less than a mile from the country club went for $350k. My buddy's 3 bdrm home in Texas went for $157k. My other buddy's model townhouse in Dallas went for $270k.
When I lived in Dallas and travelled around all parts, I found the going rate to be about $100/sqft. The Bay Area is easily 4x that. My 1200+sqft condo was just appraised last year for $550k and my cousin and his gf are looking at buying a home in San Jose for around $800k. It seems like the asking price isn't enough anymore. They were pre-approved and were outbid by someone paying 6-8% over asking. Just wait until you get into really affluent areas like Hillsborough, San Mateo, Marin, etc. There are ridiculous estates for sale up there, probably from some ex-CEO of some high-tech company.
