Well, for better or worse, my dilemma from last night is over...car at the other dealership was sold yesterday (guess they don't update the website after hours). Obviously would have been nice to save some coin, but I still know that I'm going to end up with an awesome car, exactly as I picked out.

We built a three-car garage with an attached house too. If you make the garage a couple of feet wider on each side and 4 feet wider between the large garage door and the small garage door, you easily can park 4 cars side by side. (Three of them go in through the large door, which is 2-feet wider than a standard builder-spec double-car garage door.) Best of all, doing it this way the garage doesn't look like it's too large for the house.
We also made the one-car garage extra deep (extending it alongside of the back of the house, so it looks like part of the house), so there's room in front of the car for a workshop area. If we needed to, we could park 7 MINIs in the garage - 3 across the front and 4 side-by-side.
Garage square footage is cheap to build, so get what you want - you never know when you'll need to add a 5th MINI!

Our Roadster S is passing through the birth canal as I type!!! We won it on wheel of fortune when my wife nailed the bonus round puzzle. The puzzle was BROWSING, so we are planning on getting vanity plates... probably BRWSNG. Too bad you can't use 8 characters in Jersey.

Congratulations – That is absolutely the best story here!

Yeah, we could easily extend the garage toward the back of the house. Still in the very early stages of planning a new house but here is the plan we like best so far. Check out this great garage space:

But it's a big step for your MINI !!

You easily could extend the length of the garages (as viewed from the front of the house) by a few feet just by changing the roof rafters. (Or, you could go totally nuts and put 10-foot ceilings in the garage so you could install a lift!) And I assume you'll have floor drains in both garages and a water spigot too, so you don't have to detail your cars in the rain.
One thing I've heard for years is people complaining that there's not enough space in their garages for storage along the sides of their cars - usually builders get cheap, so there's barely enough room to get the car doors open.

He doesn't have to answer.
I was just wondering. I mean, winning a $25k car means roughly 8K in taxes... plus sales tax for your state...
It's like congrats! You won a car payment.
