went back to the hopefully soon-to-be-mine garage space yesterday, while the wife and kids were deciding who gets what room and where the furniture will go, ive already decided that I will be in the bottom level.
The garage is actually 30'x30' !! ceiling is just a bit more than 8'. I didn't put a measuring tape to it but as ii stand flat footed, I can touch an 8' ceiling, so its just a few inches more. and lay out is nice, with 2 8' doors and 4 ft in between them, and 5ft on each side, that give LOTS of space for shelved and storage and can still get in and out of the car!! especially since I have a big boat of a car, a 65 ford that will be in there as well. and since there is a separate work shop and golf cart garage area, none of my wood working tools , lawn mower etc will have to be in the car area!!.
BUT after looking up the official dimensions, it appears a 914 is exactly 48" tall stock height, so if I keep both 914's I might have to go low profile tires to get one under the other. , I have not heard of anyone else yet that has done this in an 8' garage. - otherwise since we might not get a golf cart, I may put one of the teeners in that space- it will be tight getting thru the door but will fit fine once inside!
so maybe with air let out of car on ground, it will fit? - but the lift could be further forward and the lights and garage door opener will not be a factor. - pictures to come.
