Spent some time at the Collector's Car Garage in Bedford, NY on sunday
This place is amazing, a friend of mine runs it. Think of it as a marina for exotics. you pay a monthly fee and you pull your car up to the entrance. there are 8 cameras that take simultaneous photos of your car from all angles to verify the condition on entering. then they use moveable jacks to slide your car into it's spot. the cars are never driven inside. when you want your car, you call them, they make sure the car is right out front for you, and make sure it starts properly etc. they take 8 more photos to verify leaving condition and you're off. it's high security, in a plain looking warehouse, and no one could ever tell from the outside. just look at the photos of the cars there. amazing. and then afterward, we went on a high speed tour of the bedford backroads with all the cars in the outside photos, myself driving the vanquish. and even in a car like that, following a carrera GT and a Ford GT is tough on windy backroads. i held my own though.

sure it's located in Bedford Hills, NY
right off exit 6 on 684. I belive the current cost is about $4,000/year per car. The facility is very secure and very clean, and they have detailing on site, although no maintenance facilities. You will be able to access your cars during slightly extended business hours, and there are webcams throughout the garage so you can view your car via internet 24 hours a day. the garages are temperature and humidity controlled, and there are many air filtration units as well. the pictures i showed are not entirely accurate because there are people walking around the garage. this is for a special event only, and most of the time you need specific access to get in. they are also in the process of expanding, as their primary facility is almost full. i believe there are about 10 spots currently available. You can contact James Machinist, the manager, at James@collectorscargarage.com, or view their website, www.collectorscargarage.com. Tell him Matt Farah referred you, and i'm sure he'll be more than helpful.
