Zach new "garage" and I use that term highly loosely in this case...is stunning. Your description of what you were building last year just pales in comparison to the finished product. Wow. Museum quality as are the cars.

Great garage. If you don't mind sharing, what are the basic length and width? I'm planning 60 ft x 80 ft for my garage/display area, allowing room to maneuver but a turntable could create some more flexibility for me.

Thank you,
Jeff

I had to leave out some cars due to space limitations in the signature.

Thank you, that helps me visualize the interior space of my current plan. I've been planning 60' wide to allow for space to jockey the cars around for driving in, turning around, etc. Turntable could allow narrower design for my purposes.

My first Garage was 60' wide allowing for a 20' middle section for the cars to manouver. After I built it I relized that I was wasting 33% of my garage space to allow the entry and exit of the cars. When I built my new house, I want to maximize my space. The architech and I discussed my options and we decided on two semi-circles and two turntables to reduce the wasted space.

My MR2 is 100% original, even the wiper blades are orginal has 48k kms (30k miles) over the 27 years since picking up at the dealer in May of 1990.

I have only replaced the tires. it's still in as new condition.

Zach, I don't ever do envy, but in your case I'll make an exception.

Would it make sense to make both turntables be able to be controlled by a phone app as well? Save time and effort of having to get out to use the wall plate or cable remote?

I have a wireless remote control, but prefer to use the wall mounted touchscreen for safety reasons.
