Ferrari-owner's dream garage grinds neighbors' gears **Must See**

His pristine Ferrari 512 BBi "Boxer" sits in the middle of Holger Schubert's living room in Brentwood, right next to stylish furniture, a built-in bookcase and a flat-screen TV that slides on tracks past walls of glass that frame an ocean view.

But Los Angeles officials are about to slam shut forever the garage door that leads to the city's most extravagant parking space

City planners have withdrawn permission for Schubert to use a bridge to connect his Ferrari's third-floor resting spot with North Tigertail Road.

The ruling by the West Los Angeles Area Planning Commission tosses a mechanic's wrench into Schubert's hopes of using the showpiece garage that last year won Architectural Digest magazine's Design Driven contest.

At least he didn't park his $2 million dollar bugatti in a lake, like this guy:

I understand this guy bought a new Bugatti to replace his wet one.

Yeah, but this Ferrari still runs.

And presumably always has...

[the invisib1e hand]

I don;t do Coke or run around with starlets.

Then why'd you buy the car? /s

[the invisib1e hand]

well, lots of people turn their garages into family rooms...

[reagan_fanatic]

God, I wish I was rich.

[RacerXSpeedRacer]

Obviously a single man.

I think its cool - to each his own. I’m a car guy myself and would love a nicer, larger garage for my toys. Not sure I’d go quite this far. But its cool. He should be able to do whatever he wants with his toys.

Why would you bring Sanity into this? ;>}

[spectre]

I forwarded this to my Brother who will undoubtedly be trying to convert his beautiful garage into the same likeness...

Hi Bro!

[Surtur]

Ooooohhh!, a Ferris Bueller reference.

[dfwgator]

He doesn’t just sit there. I think I see lotion on the coffee table.

"I understand this guy bought a new Bugatti to replace his wet one."

Did his mechanic ask, "Who's the U-boat commander?" ;^)
