The last lift stand flush with the doors of the cabinet. No issues getting in and out as long as the cabinet doors remain closed!

Very classy collection. Off the charts!

If you do run out of room I know there are specialized garage services that might work for you. These guys (http://www.collectorscargarage.com/) aren't in LA yet but I've met their NY team - I'm sure there are other competitors in LA.

I noticed that the GT3 has an alcantara steering wheel. How do you like that vs. leather?

I really like alcantara. It feels good when new not sure how it will wear though. Have it on the E63 as well.

My salesman steered me (no pun intended) towards the leather wheel for that reason. He said it does tend to wear over time. A new steering wheel every few years (or longer) is prob not a huge expense though, in the worst case. I had alcantara seats on my Audi and loved the material.

Stellar collection. Love the black CGT, don’t see yellow Daytona’s very often either. Nice to see a collection that isn’t all the newest shiny object. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, I thought I was looking at a dealers garage. Very impressive. I was half expecting to see an F1 car in there.

.Thanks, That Daytona Spyder was a hard get.... Took me a few years to find an original low mileage Daytona Spyder and then I had to wait until the Ferrari Classiche department restored it so I am finally glad its home.

I would think all those cars are a great investment, Ferraris have gone up in value like crazy the past 20 years.

WOW jaw-dropping collection!

A trick for alcantara steering wheels... Every few months or so, wet a microfiber towel and thoroughly wipe through the whole wheel. It'll look like brand new again! I had a Lamborghini Superleggera to learn that trick!

The manual in the GT3 is amazing! So happy they brought it back! In fact every Porsche in my garage has a manual. I’m stocking up on manuals for when they decide not to make them anymore. My first Porsche non manual will be arriving next year and I’m only getting it because of the power it’s developing!

I never believed in the 911R and prices on them have dropped like a rock since the GT3 with a 4.0 and a manual was announced.

Beautiful collection.

I can even imagine the value on those manual Porsche in 25 years when the self driving will be very common. Will be like Unicorn.

That's awesome! I'm going to get into Porsches soon to see what the fuss is all about. Not even close to your league but I'm focussed on hunting down an f430 scuderia.

Its been good so far and no issues yet to report. I use this car as my daily driver as it’s hard to negotiate contracts and vendors when pulling up in Ferrari so kind of need it to work on a daily basis!
