So far my wife isn't with it, but I'm not giving up hope!

Sorry....I think that dude is a bit obsessed. I had an obsession with a few cars once now I've been divorced now for 5 years. You'd think I can have anything I want now but divorce is not cheap. A word of advise....take care of your wife if you have one and don't let your hobby get away from you. I always thought my wife was in to it especially after 22 years of marriage......I guess I thought I knew her!

It doesn't matter if you take care of your wife or not, some stay, most go. I've had some women I've taken great care of , they still split. I know some women who are married to absolute assholes, and the women stay. That's only about 5% of women though. It's our current society, women "feel" they might get a better deal elsewhere, there are no penalties for leaving, in fact they get parting gifts, spousal support, child support, half your stuff, so they split.

Cool house, it needs a bigger garage, maybe with a lift.

I've found a balance of the things you love in life goes a long way. The car is kind of like the mistress. So far so good, it's been 16 years.

Cool car and house, but that guy is nuts.

My wife is cool enough to have done the drawings for the garage build and will do the interior finishing work

Shush, don't tell the wife

And too bad the guy didn't at least choose a long hood

Just as long as my wife has QVC my Porsche purchases go unnoticed.

Yeah, I usually have to wait until she goes out for a long day of shopping to pull that stunt. Same with baking painted parts in the oven

I like the drip grate to catch the oil !

That is a stupid house, sorry.

When I restored my car, I'd get each component all done and perfect, and bring into my living room. . . after 6 months I had the whole car, minus the tub and motor spread out nicely on the floor. . .
reassembling was a breeze. . just go inside and get the like new parts and bolt it up. .

Nope, not married. . not sure many gals would put up with that. .
Here is one small portion

I restored a motorcycle in my living room. I have one sitting in there now. I'm planning on rebuilding my engine in there also. It's warmer than my garage. I have white carpet, I just lay down some plastic, plus with new parts they are perfectly clean.

Oddly enough I don't have a wife either.

Kind of like when we kids, building Revel and Monogram model kits ... everything laid out ready to assemble

Nice quilt....is it OEM?

Guys, you just have to find the right gal.

Been married 21 years. A few years ago i decided to build a tank.......... My wife helped me build the tracks, in our living room while we watched The winter Olympics, figure skating. It's all about a little compromise.

Once you both got it all assembled how did you get it out of the living room?

Maybe just drove it out the side wall, and then called the contractor to fix the hole in the wall?

Read: "Tracks" not "Tank"...

Sorry to hijack this thread, but you build a M1A1 Abrams and are just going to pot one picture? Do you have any more you can share?

Building that makes restoring a 914 look like a toy.

All I can think of is every time the car is started and running it fills the house with carbon monoxide.

Garage queen

I would hope my wife would talk me out of this, then enroll me in Neurotics Anonymous.

A similar concept. http://investinmiami.com/porsche-design-tower/#.VpzptiorLtQ

Each to his own, and I'm not opposed to having an awesome gagage in view of the living are of the house, but that dude has some issues... A bit creepy if you ask me.

Ok, fine....
That would be a cool place to have a top floor suite, but I wonder how long it takes to get the car out at rush hour.

My wife loves Porsches but I don't think she would want to look at them all the time.
Plus, if you have ever seen my garage you definitely would not want to look in there all the time!

Yup, the right woman is the key; 40 years with out ever having a daily driver in the garage, so the projects can sleep happy, and she bleeds brakes!

I like my Porsche.... but I like riding my wife better. She would lose all interest if I presented this idea...... and she's BARELY interested now.

Pass on this house.

I was gonna go there, obviously I would like to convince my wife on many other things and this would be way down on my list.

I take care of my wife and she watches over my budget. That house is not my cup of tea. After many years of not being around I have come up with something that makes sense to me, family first.

I bet he goes through a lot of kleenex and glass cleaner too

My dog places nose prints about 20" high on all the glass doors, stainless appliances.
My wife admonishes him.
Then the granddaughter places handprints on the same stuff and now Grandma says she is so cute
Poor dog, second class citizen.
