Friends of mine built a new 4-bay garage.  The roof over one of the
bays was designed to be tall enough to put their syncro on the lift
and take it to full height.  They have a bay for a tractor and two for
the cars, though with the 21 racing bikes in there, I think the cars
tend to stay outside.  Anyone got an extra $100K laying around?  It
sure would be nice . . .  Fortunately, they've let me come down and
wrench on my cars from time to time.  Oh, and there's a pool table
upstairs...

Sigh...
