Somebody posted this over on BITOG. Some guy built a Lambo in his basement. Pretty cool: http://jalopnik.com/5069251/exclusive-i-am-the-guy-with-a-lamborghini-in-the-basement

That's actually a beautiful example of a guy having the skill, tenacity and stubbornness to say "HA! I can build that myself for a fraction of the cost the factory is asking!".

That guy should go into the "Grass Roots Hall of Fame".

Why did he block up the opening in the basement. I would have paved the ramp and installed an insulated garage door.

I bet there was some fire code issues but easily doable

I posted the same question over at Jalopnik. Drainage would have been an issue too, but not insurmountable.

I would have totally gone for the extra "garage" space and made the opening permanent, paved the new "drive way" and put up some retaining walls.

What are the chances of a full interview/story on this guy in an upcoming GRM mag? Seems like this is a dream build for most of us.

You'll need to log in to post.
