- You don't need to be rich to be a car hoarder, but storing your cars is a challenge no matter how much or little money you have.
On this episode of The Carmudgeon Show, Jason and Derek discuss a crucial piece of being an enthusiast/having a car collection (of any size or value): vehicle storage! How to take something drab and make it fab, both of their personal vehicle storage solutions and even some very exclusive collection setups as well.
Cars are meant to be driven - so how do you protect them inside but keep them accessible to drive regularly. After all: Never. Stop. Driving!
All this and more, brought to you by the Hagerty Podcast Network.

The Hyphen is dead, Long Live Hyphen Squared!
🤣😂🤣
Haha. The ultimate version of "the king is dead; long live the king".
Double Hyphen talking about a tool you need but don't have reminds me of a philosophy my best friend has. "Tools don't cost you money, they either save or earn you money." CK
Hyphen was about to show his license to Jason and then was like “bad idea”
Here on suburban Long Island, any more than a tight 2 car garage, is the price of another house. Great episode. I'm envious!
That’s why I just got out myself.
You don't need a large garage .. you need very accommodating friends
You guys are great! My kind of crazy!
Dude Garaj Mahal is actually a modern Jazz Fusion Band that is borderline rock jazz. Great driving music.
I’m super bummed out that Honda didn’t intentionally have the door open beeps signify Morse code for H. I told so many people that’s the case after you guys talked about that lol.
It’s almost like you’re describing my current garage project!! I’m almost done, just finished electrics and paint and I’m waiting for the raised rails for the doors and the wall mounted motors and then I’ll be done. Thanks for the hint on the kitchen cabinets, I’ll take a look at the home depot options!
Great video. The camera focus was onto the rode caster pro, not on to Jason and Derek.
Great episode and the garage is very overlooked by many as its where you spend more time then in the car usually for classics and modded cars.
Love this episode! Now I'm day dreaming about my dream garage... again.
I bought several 6 packs of Barrina t5 LED light strips from amazon that can be connected together by different size cords and each one also has a switched cord available. Then I got 3 plug through outlets with a single remote so I have 3 zones of lighting on the remote and double sided taped the lights where i wanted them. I also keep some unattached so I can use them where I might need light working on things.
This was a great episode though!! Love hearing about how you guys manage your personal cars and the lifestyle that comes with it. Particularly interesting as an enthusiast living in Brooklyn 😭
Street parking most of my life and coming out to new dings and scratches from ppl who can't parallel park was the main reason I never wanted to buy a "really nice" car. Now that I have my tiny 1 car garage I'm just happy to have a space to call my own 😁. The dream is atleast a 2 car garage with a lift.
I feel so blessed. I live right off I-95 between DC & Baltimore and have a 2 car wide double deep garage attached to the house with a carport in front of it and a 40' by 80' garage out back. Both have a drain in them but the back has a much bigger drain. The back also has heated floors and a lift. The lighting is ok but I want to upgrade and I need to do the floors. Big problem with the lights is the ceiling is almost 25' and even my massive A-frame ladder isn't tall enough so I have to rent a scissor lift to change a bulb 😕
The weird thing about this: they live in an incredibly expensive area, even a small house is crazy money. They drive extremely expensive cars for work, and presumably a couple in Jason's collection are highly valuable. Yet so much discussion around a few hundred dollars plus/minus on the various parts that go in in a garage setup. It is incongruous.
I live in the Bay Area and have two cars with me, and another two cars strewn around the Bay Area. *woe is me* that I don't have the time to drive all my cars but it does stink...listening to this episode in excitement to see what solutions you have come up with.
I have too many parts, so my shop is lined with a pallet rack, homemade shelves attached to the walls, including a tire rack, two workbenches, self-standing metal shelves, two modest tool box stacks, an engine run-in stand, a glass rack and a flammables cabinet. All full. All surrounding the 2 post lift, all jammed into a 20x30 space
BTW, Jason, I swapped out of summer run flats and into a set of PS A/S 4s and the temperature spiked to 60! 😃
Another good store for tools... Tractor Supply Co.
Great topic and examples. Where's the link or forum for us to post pics & stories of garage solutions? Took us years to find something in-town that discreetly housed a 12' ceiling 3-bay (9' wide doors) that fits a couple of lifts. As you said, it's a huge difference being able to have all cars/tools in one place connected to the house vs. driving to a storage unit. Keep up the great work.
phew! I am so glad the clap was back. No clap and learning about a double hyphen would have killed me!
I do epoxy garage coatings. We only use 100% solids epoxy. It’s not industry standard because it’s harder to use, but the smelly epoxy is smelly because it uses solvents to make them stick better - these flash off as they cure and the resulting coating is thinner.
As a guy who started on a sidewalk , and moved to a private parking spot , and now Have a Non-Private garage when it's always dry , Not so clean but dry and have a small shed with Parts and stuff , I'm a long way to go to A private garage with a lift. But I do love progress. ( Around 6 Years ago I started working on my own cars)
I buy Kobalt tools and am happy with them. Same warranty as Craftsman and I prefer their ratchets to Craftsman since its 90 tooth vs 75 tooth. Got a 250+ tool set for $100
When I bought this house in 2001 - I told my realtor I wanted a garage with a house attached - 4 car garage secured, but SUPER low ceilings - I have to drop the Rivian to lowest ride height to get it in there or the shark fin antenna would hit the garage door. God I would love to lift the roof to accommodate a lift - its doable here but insanely expensive
You aren't kidding about old cars on Bay Area streets. A few years back, I saw both a Hudson Hornet and a Fiat 130 Coupe in San Raphael.
For garage floors, try Premier Garage. Have had 2 garages with their floors. Much better than epoxy both in looks and durability and reasonable cost in my view.
LED flicker and PWM flicker (on cheap flashlights and worklights) are the worst! Hi CRI is a must, too. Glad Jason is one of those nerdy about everything people.
I have a question.
What do you do for cars you’re not going to drive? Seafoam (or anything else?) in the gas tank?
Spray anything into carburetors? Or the oil pan?
We have flat panel, surface mount, edge-lit LED lights. Flicker free and switchable color temp (I prefer 4000K). Ours are 2x2 ft but they come in different sizes.
You should check out Obsessed Garage for anything top tier garage and car related.
Jason, you can drive yourself crazy with all the options for LED lighting. It all depends on what you want to accomplish with your lighting setup. If you’re just wrenching, basic “tube” style or edge lit panels are often enough for most work spaces. “Wafer” or clip in style recessed lights are an easy way to get light into your space if you don’t have to worry about your ceiling being a fire break to your house. Given your garage didn’t have a ceiling before you put one in, this doesn’t sound like it would be an issue. If you’re feeling saucy and you feel like trying your hand at design and a bit of electrical work, there’s almost no limit to what you could accomplish with aluminum extrusion light channels/diffusers and the various strip LED products out there. There are also edge lit geometric panel with color control if you want a dramatic splash. Some of them you can connect to your phone via Bluetooth or WiFi and color shift to a programmed pattern or even to music. It all depends how far you want to go down that rabbit hole.
Since it sounds like you also want to film in the space, you will want to use a reputable brand of LED lamp/strip. Some notes on color temperature and spectrum:
- You are going to want stick with LEDs with a CRI (Color Rendition Index) of 90 or greater. Lower CRI lamps will produce light with a bit of a color shift.
- For work spaces, 4000 Kelvin is a good balance between blue (>4000K) and yellow/amber (
Ikea sells these very cheap metal shelves, and they're amazing. The best part is the trays are flat on one side OR have small walls of you flip them upside down. So you can really play around with configurations. Did I mention they're cheap? Worth looking into.
The balcony/terrace ones right? They're neat but (I guess) have limited maximum load. Still worth it if you don't need to put brake discs on them.
Jason - just have a ton of can lights put in your garage. It will look great, put out tons of light, and do exactly what you want.
On the podcast (I listen on Spotify) you mentioned we should send pictures of our garages to you. Where would we send those to?
'The appreciation of these things relies on people having first hand experience with them'

I frequent local car meets and last year I missed one where F40 showed up. I know there's one or two in the city, I know they are taken out for an invitation only concours event each year, but I've never seen them with my own eyes, let alone being driven on their own wheels. Most are tucked away somewhere, their values appreciating (or depreciating, who knows with the current bubble market) in some dark, climate-controlled storage facilities, with zero chance for a bystander to ever see them, hear them, smell them. So I'm not surprised people thank you for driving the Miura. Especially that every time you do that, you risk being burned alive :D
When are you coming to Baltimore?
min 1:46 its called Disco Ball
Do you have some tips about theft protection?
Why is the camera focused on the mixers screen instead of you guys?
Craigslist dumpster fire - foster pet.....rescue project.....good concept
Here in Germany's most crowded area I have a single garage, barely big enough for my Mk3 Supra plus a small shelf :-D No power, no water and about a mile from my flat.
You probably already checked. But, I get all my garage lighting, from Matt, at obsessed garage.
I'm living with a one car garage under the house. I keep thinking if I remove the interior walls I'll have room for maybe four. Of course only one could get out so it'd be a constant shuffle but the thought is stuck in my brain.
Have you actually heard the jazz fusion rock band Garaj Mahal?
Oh shit if not! Great driving music for cars with no redeeming engine note.
Gotta clean out that oven Camisa, it's easy (well my wife did it) and really will stop the oven from setting shit off
I recently had someone throw a brick through the rear window of my (flawless) 356 T6 for no apparent reason, other than the fact that the same brick was on a retaining wall near the car which was covered.
How am I supposed to carry on with life after the double hyphen bombshell???? Unbelievable!!!!
This was a great episode - the garage space is my biggest life challenge.
The week Jay Leno's Garage is cancelled, Jason tells us about his new garage upgrades? Somebody if vying to work on CNBC with Donald Osborne.
Little known fact his first name is spelled Der-Rick
Is it me or is the focus set on the sound board and not the two guys ?
Please let Derek speak more. He's also interesting to listen to.
I'm so jealous of anyone with a garage. I moved 200mi out of the city I grew up in so that I could have d reasonable hope of someday having a place to keep AND WORK ON my motorcycles. Finding a place with a garage where rent is less than 75% of income is hard enough, but a place where you're not expressly forbidden from servicing vehicles? Impossible where I was. Buy a place with a big Boomer down payment, or go lease a BMW like the rest of The Poors. Living in a place where you needed to make a $600,000 purchase in order to change the oil in your 1991 Civic hatch was driving me insane. My resolution for this year is garage, no roommates.
Can you change your thumbnails? I always skip passed them and forget to add to my “watch it later”
Maybe a photo of you both recording so I know it’s the podcast
it puts the lotion in the basket if it doesn't want to get the hose
I'm one of those people with no cars that can fit in the garage - because the garage is full of motorcycles. A car has a roof, it can be outside more than a bike.
So, is his new name Double Hyphen, or Hyphen-Hyphen (of course pronounced "Hyphen Hyphen Hyphen")?
Not pointless. Not at all. Lots of good stuff.
OMG double hyphen
Camera was out of focus! ugh
I'm really surprised Jason's floor has held up so well
He is anal about things so I can believe that he protected his partially epoxy'd floors like they were gold plated when he worked on stuff... 😂
It's like buying a new engine from Nissan Japan for a 25 year old vehicle because it's a keeper and it only failed because mechanics didn't do maintenance that they were told to do...
It sounds like someone build a drive-in bordello .....🤣🤣🤣
NEW REVELATION VIDEO COMING IN HOT 3:56
We all know how this is gonna end... "I can't do that... I refuse to do that... I did that"
You buy the garage, the house just come with it.
Need to work on the lighting, it’s a little dark.
The "garage"? Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man. Well what do you call it? A car hole!
Who else felt weirdly uncomfortable when Derek left out his hyphen?
Should have gone polyurea instead of epoxy hah
"Don't forget to like and subscribe.....and spay and neuter your kids..err...pets."
Jason just needs to move into the warehouse. Problem solved.....
2 videos in a row are out of focus
I love both Jason and Hyphen^2 but this has turned into the real life version of the ambiguously gay duo ❤️❤️❤️
.
All love, truly, but we lost the plot a while back...
This isn't an episode. It's eavesdropping - Jason and Hyphen have completely forgotten there is an audience....or there was as we head for the exits.
I was just writing the same thing. Feels like a love letter to one another, and I'm just sitting awkwardly straight in the corner...
BOOOOOOORINGGGG
This was a snooze fest.
