Brodee,I'm right there with you Tom. Only a few years younger but same boat. Lucky to have a great wife that not only understands but also likes to drive the older cars. We'll never have a car payment again and I just smile when people ask why I drive an old car as they are leaning out the window of their $40k suburban.
I'm starting my new garage next year with plans for a lift and a full room above to be used as a game room and home theater. It's amazing how much extra money you can save when you don't have a couple payments hanging out there.
Good luck to you! A great site to check out for garage ideas is www.garagejournal.com !!

I do finally have the garage insulated and heated and moved most of my stuff into the new shop.
This shop has been my dream for a looooong time. I am a bit older than most on this board (40), but I have chosen to drive older cars because I like to maintain and modify them.
My 325es is my daily driver. How many 40 year olds do you know that drive a 22 year old daily driver? (That have a decent job)
I have chosen to put my money into the garage rather than a new car. After is all said and done I could have easily bought a new car for the cost of the garage. Also, have a great wife who puts up with my car hobby and I almost always around the house so she knows where I am ;).
