About eGarage:
eGarage is the result of years of experience in the Automotive world amongst four very different kinds of enthusiasts. One came from design and marketing, one from real estate and collecting, one from gaming and photography and one from technology and engineering. What brought us together was a collective dissatisfaction with the way Automotive content is portrayed on the internet.
