Do you have access to an enclosed trailer that you could move the car and everything into for a few days? Just a thought.

Just so you are aware, there is another product out there called Ardex that goes down very thin, self-levels and polishes. Pretty strong stuff too.

I know you really prefer something smooth and I didn't see any smooth Race Deck product.

Jeez, if the whole problem surrounding what you really want is where you park your Cobra for a few days, just ask one of your neighbors if you could borrow their garage for a week in exchange for a delicious dinner for two, all expense paid by you, at the restaurant of their choice. That seems like an easy solution.

Yup, then just rent a little U-Haul trailer or similar for a few days, back it up to the garage and load it with everything else that is on the floor.

Hate to see you compromise and end up with something that you have to deal with every day and regret it!

I agree with Patrick amd Bernica. Rent a garage and a couple of those portable storage pods and get the garage floor finish you want. Don't settle.

Not too long ago, I bought and installed 4'x6'x3/4" horse stall mats, not for my garage though, which can obviously withstand a huge beating. And they're about $40-50 per mat. But I'm not sure how they would do with casters supporting heavy loads. And they're not very pretty. However, they're excellent, last forever and do the job that they were intended to do for me.

We did the exact same thing for one of my weight-lifting kids in the workout room. He drops some pretty heavy free weights on the down motion and we didn't want it damaging the flooring beneath it. I think it can withstand almost anything.

Each mat is 100lbs of recycled tires. They're freakin' heavy. They're nearly indestructible. And they have to be for horse stalls. To cut them with a industrial exacto knife is a PITA.

Most CrossFit Boxes (aka gyms) have them and when your lifting and throwing down hundreds and hundreds of lbs., they definitely do their job. I know companies are out there that make them in various colors.

He ordered ours off the internet. Each "square" has interlocking triangular fingers that mate up to the next square so it was reasonably easy to put down and they hold tight to one another. And ours are a nice pretty dark blue, that pretty much goes with nothing, but still looks nice.
