Ken Zehoski, a draftsman in Minneapolis, knew he was dealing with an obsessive car enthusiast when his client spent $125,000 just for the custom-built light fixtures in his garage--not to mention he had a sprinkler system installed in the garage, while the rest of his home went without one.
"No matter what, he didn't want to lose his cars," says Zehoski.
The client's collection was mostly of classic cars, as well as a few Lamborghinis. Although he was fairly young (in his forties) and hadn't retired yet, he had strong opinions about what he wanted in his garage, in anticipation of spending a lot of time there.
"He almost wanted it to be nicer than his house," Zehoski says. "He planned to spend a lot of time in there--he was a hunter, and he raced cars and he flew planes, and he spent a lot of time with his machines."
