Either get an industrial sized box stretcher, or shrink your measuring tape. And get smaller cars. that, or get a bigger garage.

Otherwise, the only "practical" suggestions I can offer is to think "up". Look into some manner of "stacking", securing stuff "up" over the cars when not in use. Make sure it is secure, nothing less fun that having something fall on the car just before you have to go out.

Especially something like a Bridgeport or a Monarch lathe. :-)

Enjoy, DoN.

Well think of the alternatives. Would *you* want your car or truck falling on your 10EE?

Lathe goes on *top*!

Consider using the space high up on the walls for storage. Welders, air compressors and shelves can all be hung high. Although the compressor is better placed in a "dog house" outside to help eliminate the noise.

I save the high shelves for storage of things like hunks of neoprene and foam, heh.
