Yes, Isetta is a blast. It turns more heads than the GT or the Turbo.

I do drive all the cars, although not as much as I would like. That was one of my main design criteria when I was thinking about this garage...easy in and easy out!

There is plenty of room to navigate the cars and I did things like making the egress very easy to deal with and I put the alarm system on a FOB so I can open/close the garage door and remotely arm and disarm the alarm without getting out of the car. I'm kind of a big guy and getting in and out multiple times to open and close garage doors, etc. can be a "big" deal in some of the cars, like the GT or my old vette, etc. (the Isetta, on the other hand is easy to get in and out of...1 big door on the front <gr>) I also put an external LED for the alarm so I can see if it is armed or not from outside the garage.

It is a '96 993 "Tip".

Actually, that is the one car in the garage that is not mine. I am storing it for a friend. (it is a nice car, though)

I am not sure yet, but I was concerned enough that I was afraid to put in white tiles. In fact I was strategic about not having too many Black ones, either. That is why most of the garage is Silver and Grey. Saying that, I love how oil and other drips wipe right up.. (Those darn VWs always leak).

I have been told a simple damp mopping will do the job. The other trick I heard was using Mop and Glo. Some people use power washers.

I guess, I'll find out. I do love the look.

Wow! That's great. It's just amazing how well you've done selling audio gear these days. You run your company well and deserve success. How's Nika? Chuck, can you only imagine the court room battles he will stir up once he finishes?! God help us all if he ever represents a malpractice case dealing with the abuse of digital conversion! Take care, looks great.
