My NC is currently in storage at my friends barn with his Model T, a late 60s MGB, a couple of Monte Carlos and a 200x Camaro, his daily driver. No Ferraris.

My NA is parked next to a 1988 Jeep Wrangler in a detached 2 car garage, unheated but does have power and insulation.

Mine are all with........... each other.
So yeah, in good company.
But can we get some details on that minty fresh vintage GREEN Camry?? :cool:
Honestly more interesting to me than the Italian thing.

My classics are with pretty good company - they're tucked away in my garage with our 2 daily drivers (the 2017 ND RF classic is hidden under the red car on the right of the photo)

My RX7 is tucked away in my garage- for now. Of course with weather such as ours, nothing prevents me from pulling the cover off and taking her for a nice ride should the weather turn nice. I will be replacing the oil pan gasket and installing a Banzai Racing oil pan brace- rotaries are known for developing oil pan leaks due to the method the engine is assembled, and mine is no exception.

Looks like an A7...or other "7" to me. The 5-spoke wheels are "Audi".

Yup, a 2014 Audi S7 that we factory ordered in that custom colour - owned from late 2013 to early 2021, when it was replaced by the white 2021 Mercedes AMG C43 wagon. I just used this older picture because it showed the classics all tucked in :)

My 30AE is sharing my heated shop with a pair of Corvettes, both of which are in training to become classics.
The Solstice is in the attached garage along with the Honda Accord.

My classic 87 Chevy Squarebody short bed regular cab pick up is next to my wife's 2013 Silverado short bed regular cab pick up in the garage most of the time and when the Bronco is in the storage unit. 2 Chevy trucks side by side. We are very unique to have not one but two regular cab short bed pick ups!

Our NA is parked in my old shop. Our Roush is parked next to my airplane. The Corvette is my daily driver that's parked next to my wife's Rav4. No special treatment for that one. :)

Jag engine, green paint, the car thinks it's a requirement to drip a little oil. Hopefully Lucas electricity is nowhere in sight.

My "classics" share a 2-car with each other. One is 8 years old and the other almost 10. What's the cutoff on "classics" again? :D
At least the modern cars are kept in another garage.
And my only actual classic is a GMC S15 that will turn 30 in a couple of months. I've only had it 21 of those years, but I bought it from my mom, the original owner. It share's its garage with 7 beach bikes, 3 kayaks, 3 SUPs and a gas grill that gets rolled out into the driveway for hotdogs.

My wife is in the house, which is heated, but no cars and boats are inside.
My Lotus could never be stored on a lift over another car. One of the many Lotus books I have has a remark that lol leaks are OK, as they lubricate the chassis.

It's a little tight right now with my 66 mustang convertible left under cover out in the driveway.

Working on a solution for this, hopefully by February everything will be back under one roof.

So was I. Solved remarkably easily by buying a different house, a couple different times, with bigger garages each time. :thumbs:

They live apart (Viper's usually in storage, and the Miata lives under a carport), but sometimes they hang out together. Hoping to move to a house with a two-car garage soon.

Build new - you can have a 1,000 SF house with a 12,000 SF garage, or any other ratio imaginable- it's all up to you :cool:

Tiggurrr used to share a space with an older cousin.

But the cousin has since moved and nobody has taken its place. So Tiggurrr is all by himself now :sad:
