For anyone that spends a good amount of time in the garage detailing or working on their car, it’s one space that can be considered just as important to personalize, keep organized, and stocked with proper tools and components. For Scott Spencer, we discovered that he has one of these cool garages that he has put his personal touch on. From a custom-designed modular flooring pattern to classic car banners and décor, we learned more about Scott’s car passion and how he has maximized the use of his two-car garage. PLUS – how he’s been able to use Race Ramps to help!
What’s in your car collection?
I have a 2018 Porsche 911S I bought new. I have the Factory Five MK4 (Cobra) I built from scratch with a Coyote crate motor. I purchased a 1979 911SC that was a nice driver condition car. I stripped it completely down to the shell and had it repainted and modified with many custom touches. My current project is the 1967 Camaro that will sit on a Roadster Shop chassis and be powered by a crate LS3.

I kept getting more cars, so I needed more space to store them. After I built the Factory Five Cobra, I added the first four-post lift to the main garage for storage and maintenance. I also have a basement workshop garage with a 2-post lift in it. I was using that garage to restore my 1979 911SC. Once I completed that, I got the ‘67 Camaro. Since the Camaro now resides in the workshop garage, I added the second 4-post lift to my main garage so I could effectively park four cars in my two-car garage!
You use Race Ramps with your lift. Tell us about your experience.
I love the Race Ramps. My first set was acquired when I put the lift in the garage for the Cobra. The Cobra has such a low ride height that it will not clear the rolling pneumatic jack that is on the lift. I bought the Race Ramps Trak-Jax to be able to drive up on them easily which allows my car to fit the jack underneath the chassis very easily. I pull right onto the Trak-Jax and it gives me the needed height to then lift the car.
When I installed the second lift, I was looking for some ramps I could use. I have some very heavy metal ramps that I got with the first lift. They work fine but are heavy to constantly be moving on and off. I found that Race Ramps makes a perfect product that is perfect for my lift and hooks right in place, so it is very secure. I can literally lift those Rack Ramps with one finger – they're so light. I much prefer them to the heavier ramps!
