Ferrari Owner's Dream Garage Draws Protests From Neighbors

Holger Schubert built a 10-foot bridge to connect his sports car's living-room parking spot to Tigertail Road. But, now, residents are complaining that the structure was improperly approved by the city.

His pristine Ferrari 512 BBi "Boxer" sits in the middle of Holger Schubert's living room in Brentwood, right next to stylish furniture, a built-in bookcase and a flat-screen TV that slides on tracks past walls of glass that frame an ocean view.

But Los Angeles officials are about to slam shut forever the garage door that leads to the city's most extravagant parking space.

If I was his neighbor I would be impressed. That is such a great idea, City of LA be damned!

Probably the coolest living room ever. I just wish they had shown what the garage and ramp looked like from the outside.

a good variation, which i've done on nice summer days:

position your car in your driveway or yard, so as to BEST ENJOY the rays. put all the windows down. recline the seats. have your favorite music on the stereo. have your preferred beverage at hand.

Typical West L.A,, NIMBY, Prius driving people with way too much time on their hands. Sour Grapes. That home is stunning and personally knowing Holger, I know that the construction of that place is top notch and that there is ZERO safety issues. He doesn't do anything half-assed.
