Garage Condo.

[F Body]

Hell I needs me one of these

Not enough room at home to house all your cars, bikes, beer, flat screens and buddies? Buy a garage condo and the wife can never nag you to get out of the garage or shed

This particular example is located at the AutoMotorPlex in Minneapolis, a sort of country club for gearheads with garage condo units surrounding a bar-equipped clubhouse. The local cars and coffee takes place there, making it easy for residents to show off their metal.

The idea behind garage condos is fairly simple and works just like a regular condominium. A developer handles the permits, the property, the building construction, getting utilities hooked up etc, then you buy a unit, do you what you want with it and pay a monthly fee for services like snow removal, security and for communal services like the clubhouse. In the case of the AutoMotorPlex that adds up to $39-99k to buy a unit then $100 a month in association fees.
