    Step 1. Open self storage facility down the street from a racetrack

    Step 2. Charge $800,000 per unit and limit storage to automobiles

    Step 3. Profit

    I`ve always though owning a parking garage in a city is the perfect business. You`ve got very little overhead, no real tenants to deal with, you`ll only need a guy or two on staff for when the automated entry/exit machines break down, and you can sell it when a developer wants to build something new. Whats not to love?

    I`ve been to many C&Cs at the minneapolis motorplex and done a few cars there.

    They start at low as $80K bare bones. There are several that are second homes: pool tables, gyms, bars, lounge, big screens, and I`m sure many are well into the 7 figures with finishes.

    There are some pretty spectacular cars to be seen.

    It`s really hard for me to wrap my head around having that kind of money lol. There was a thread on SVTPerformance awhile ago about a guy involved in this I think in the Detroit area and the place was just loaded with Ford GT`s. I`ll have to see if I can find it. Pretty awesome clubhouse for the wealthy

    Found it.....a garage full of awesome:

    A Garage

    The general idea: a reasonably sized garage where people can store their cars, have a drink, watch a race or a game, hide from their wife, etc. At least half dedicated to Ford GT (greatest car ever built :-D ) and all the GT stuff I`ve accrued in the 8 years after I started fordgtforum.com.

    At the start. Sat empty for 7-8 years. Had some small boats being store in it by the prior owner.





    Ford GT Chief Designer Camilo Pardo stopping by to give his input







    Getting there. New ductwork, new lights, offices, bar/kitchen going in, painted.





    It begins:
