I live on a river, so on occasion I will store my vehicles in the garage if we are going to have very inclement weather and chance of a major flood event. I can get the Z4 and Z3 in the lift bay, stacked, with the Honda MC tucked up front (Z3's are short ). The wood shop side I can get the H3T in there and then batten down the hatches. I throw the tractor under the carport which is near a small creek because cast iron doesn't float very well. The rear tires are filled with ethylene glycol for weight counterbalance to the front bucket.

The E90 has to fend for himself at this point...

Good luck with getting the real man cave built.
