Anne Arundel Garage Crawl Jim Earlbeck & Randy Richter After a long year without the tech guys serving up a dose of tech-liciousness, July brought out the faithful to enjoy a garage crawl. Both garages we visited were the product of the owner’s long time planning to produce their dream garage. It should be noted that both owners are perennial car geeks with a wide-ranging interest in different vehicles. They both have a great propensity to get their hands dirty and turn their own wrenches. As folks showed up on Saturday morning at the first venue, they found a well-groomed colonial home with attractive landscaping and freshly laid sod. The home showed no sign externally of the extremely spacious and well thought out garage. It was clear the owner had carefully planned to ensure the garage did not architecturally overwhelm the house. The owner graciously shared his thoughts about his goals for the garage and how he developed the plans for his garage. When the garage door opened there were audible gasps about the amazing space and cars in the garage. Inside was a red Porsche Targa, a wonderful 1967 Corvette, a Jaguar XKE roadster in mid restoration and E production race car. The garage featured excellent lighting, an epoxy floor, a four post lift for storage and a two post lift for repairs.
