    You don't need a bigger garage. Just put the cars on wheel dollies and you might be able to fit another or two in there!:D

    Very cool :).

    Isn't it interesting that if you have to move a car, to get to a second car, then you almost never drive that second car? Seems silly, right? It's only 5 minutes to move all the cars around... Yet it is what it is...

    First world problems...

    I need a Pista (Coupe or Aperta - i'm not fussy) and, a GT2RS. I'll worry about the garage later.

    PS nice cars you have! Maybe buy a car stacker?

    A lift or two might be a good way to go.

    Very true.
    The 16M and Speciale get very little use as a result.

    I have had a 4 post lift for over 20 years and the top car gets driven very rarely because of the perceived inconvenience (it really isn't). It might be an optical illusion but the back bay (area between supports) may not be big enough for a lift. Interesting problem to figure out though. Wonder what it would cost to put cargo plane slides in the floor with tire plates to move the cars horizontally within the garage?

    I would say time for either an addition or a new house. Money doesn't seem to be your issue. :)

    I could get lifts in the back, just a cement cross beam.
    Problem is long term storage. We live on the water so being in flood zone need break away walls and thus the heat/humidity gets in. Difficult to climate control.

    I’m looking into getting a lift installed. Any suggestions for where to start or recommendations for installers in the SF Bay Area?

    An Italia and a Speciale. My dream garage.

    And to sum it up yes, I'd also recommend getting some lifters. More practical than shopping for a new house (when I do, I always ask to see the garage first and foremost).

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.
