    I need more garage space than I do additional house. There are some nice options in San Diego (Rancho Santa Fe Motor Storage and Club), where you rent a secure parking space and have 24/7 in-and-out privileges, but I'm up in OC more these days and would like keep vehicles there.

    The optimal idea would be something like this: Park Place Car Condo - The Luxury Parking Condo, where you own a large secured garage and have access to some kind of office space.

    Any OC residents here know of options like this? I'd rather invest once in a garage and not have to worry about it every time I relocate.

    Thanks - yes, I called them. They said they might have a space opening up. But it looks like a common storage area that they also rent out for events.

    Still, Costa Mesa is pretty convenient.

    Have you looked into renting or buying a small building in an industrial area? That would give you complete privacy allowing you to come and go as you please. You could also set up a workshop / man cave there too. As your collection grows you will have the space.

    Another lesser expensive option would be a storage facility. They have units large enough to house a car or two. This is no the cleanest place but it will cost less.

    Hi Jon,

    I have been kicking the idea with another F car buddy of mine to buy a place and create exactly what you are looking for as we too need parking spaces. Creating OC club will be ideal.

    I figured there must be more than one of us...

    The Rancho Santa Fe place I mentioned in the first post is very nice, because it is a club and has two huge secured storage rooms, with camera, keypad/gated entry, etc. Fantastic starting point for group drives, receptions or car clinic-type events.

    I'm planning to join there till I can figure out the OC situation. All good except the location (off the 78 in San Diego north county) ...

    One nice advantage of buying a building is that it would most likely appreciate in value making it a good investment.

    A bit "downscale" from Crevier, but price is right.....One of the owners is an EXCELLENT detailer too (he did a bunch of cars at the Concours in Monterey this year)....

    Count me in if anyone wants to start a more upscale "club/storage/man cave" type of storage deal in OC?? Definite shortage of this type of space in OC...seems like a no brainer money maker to me??....if only I had more time....

    Please contact me if you are interested in a set of shared spaces. I am figuring two 1800sf units side by side, but separated completely. One for clean storage, and the other for wrenching, etc.
    Please know the financial implications up front. Signature on a lease, share of: security deposit and monthly rent, CAMS, insurance, and utilities. I would like the place to have internet access and central station remote alarm monitoring. Maybe a set of lifts. 2 & 4 post. I have been finding rates in my area of about 1500.00 per unit per month.

    As to the area, my thoughts are first: safety, second: low curbs, third: proximately to fuel and snacks, fourth: outdoor parking spaces.

    Might be worthwhile to start an LLP.

    I am interested, at least one space, maybe 2.
    Located in Riverside but game for OC and SD area.

    A lift would be great, I was looking at getting one myself, stack cars and maintenance
    at my own house, but if a co op can be set up and share all that, would be great.
    Netman I will PM you.
