Looks badass. I've always liked the black/white checked floor pattern, but this works well too. :pimp:

I really want to lay something down on my garage floor. I get an ungodly amount of beach sand and other debris in there that I'm constantly fighting with.

Do those tiles hold up to floor jacks and jack stands?

Good question!!!!
Props on having it finished. My garage looks like a large tent in the end of my parents driveway. Well it is a large tent:bang: Im in the market for a house now, it either has to have a 2 car garage, or tons of lands, and a price low enough that i can take out extra on the loan for a 30x40 ft shop!:chug:

large tent haha i did that for a while at the rents house and they put a end to 3 cars being constantly worked on lol
i have definatly pondered the lift and this is what i am thinking about
http://www.superlifts.com/scissorlift/tmr48.html
just enough to lift a c5 zo6
thanks for all the support too guys !!!!
oh and ya jacks and jack stands are good to go on the tile....but the control joints are the main concern....you have to use a self leveling hardening grout because with the tile over them....its only a matter of time when you start jacking up the car and the front wheel on it sinks into the control joint.....lol trust me i know from experience lol

Hell. Yeah. When I separate from the military and can buy my own house, my FIRST job to tackle is the garage. I need a badass dream garage

What is a control Joint? Looks great and this tile might be my best options as long as my jack and jackstands don't damage it!
