Ultimate Garages

The garage is hallowed ground for gearheads. It's the place where they feel most at home—where they can showcase their prized vehicles, wrench to their heart's content, entertain, or seek refuge from the outside world.

In Ultimate Garages, author Phil Berg explores how America's lust for cars has transformed this pedestrian space into something much, much more. Berg traveled across the country to visit these car and motorcycle meccas, conversing with garage owners who literally moved mountains to create space for their collections.

Ultimate Garages is an exquisitely photographed tour of the enthusiast's most important room.
