Buying a Diablo causes me to have to build a new house.

Dave, that is incredibly beautiful. Breathtaking!! I particularly like this part of your above statement:"and least of all the Diablo". Congrats on the property.

 

Wow, your living my dream right now...

 

Wow Dave, that's gorgeous property!

What style house will you build?

With that property, and given the climate in Indianapolis, I would build something in a French Chateau style: (these are selling for $5m and $3m, respectively)

I think the first one is more of a "DAVE" look.

 

QUIT STEALING MY IDEAS!!! My friend and I were talking about how we would like our houses to look when were older. And we both ended up just talking about the garage, and this is what we both decided on haha. Left side for 2 Lambos (huge Lambo Bull banner/or a painting on that side of the wall) and right side for 2 Ferraris (Prancing horse painted onto the wall).

 

Jay Leno said something to this effect one night on his show, "The house is for my wife, I really only need the garage and a cot."

 

Great Idea!

The Garage was never a problem in my family, but i know my parents are interested in a bigger house once my dads model/automobilia collection moved from filling a bedroom to invading closets and the living room...hmmm lol

Congratulations on the new place. It has a great view. I'm surprised there were any waterfront lots left on the lake. I've seen Dave's Diablo around town and it looks even better in person and definitely deserves it own garage space.

 

The large garage is key. We just finished our house, and its about 2900 sq feet, one block off lake michigan. Not huge by any means, but, we have a 5 car garage. Makes me smile just walking in...and it was actually my wife idea. She wanted more toy/lawnmower space. But off course, 2-3 sports cars will fit just as nicely.

But once you get a big garage, you won't be able to live without it. We are now looking at lakefront homes, but they all have 1 or 2 car garages (historic area). That just won't do...

 

dave, you are not paying enough taxes!!! we need to equilize everyones income.. a nice 95% tax rate should do it for you...that way even the less fortunate americans can buy a diablo and ferrari...yours truly, John Kerry

 

hey Dave that looks spectacular! love to see the garage when its finished.

 

LOL, I thought this was an official letter from the Liberal Party of Canada.

 

Georgeous property dude, Build a marina for a few boats there too.

I think a Italian style adobe house would be awesome there.
