My Garage
I started to build my own garage for my Cadillacs in
2005. Unfortunately the town did not allow me to build it
as big as I planned to. So I had to settle for a smaller
garage. Its now the home of my Cadillacs.
Thats our house - as it
looked like before the construction of the Cadillac
garage began.
