I wish my garage was that empty and I could put both my 79s in my garage but I have too much stuff, plus my wife wants her SUV inside every night. I keep my daily driver outside (HHR) and my parts car (soon to be racer ) inside. My good SA is next door. My retired neighbour let's me park in her garage for keeping the driveway clear of snow in the winter. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who has their priorities right when it comes to our toys.

You said "3 cars," but then you said "Honda."

I'm confused.

It's been done haha j/k Good job, looks like you may be able to drive out either without moving the other. I wish my parking area was deep enough to pull that off.

ON

Now that I see my photos.. I do have too much stuff (junk) but was able to get it in there.
My wifes SUV is a Mazda Tribute so the HHR sits outside.
My neighbours garage looks like it could accomodate another 7????

I wonder if there is a hydraulic lift with automatic locks that would fit inside a garage.
Already planning my dream garage.

That's gotta be handy when the Lambo breaks down. Which is to say, frequently.

That's what I'm talking about.
Rx7's are low like Lambo's, right?
Went over to a guys house and he had a rx7 parked under his Ford GT on one of those lifts, but he had like a 20ft high ceiling.

I think that's what those clamps are for near the back bumper - some sheet metal will hold a 6,000lb car up What happens to all the fluids...
