Should I buy a garage or work in garage under house

if I was better at postin pics I would sho ya my "pole barn shed' i'm adding onto now. LOL if have no basement, my house is "rustic". was a barn! LOL
I have a friend in Kansas City that has been a Mopar guy forever, ( he built hemi and max wedges since the 60's.) anywayyyyy, 10 years a go, he was working on his 70 440-6 cuda clone in garage (not basement), had a carb fire and burned down his $300,000 home!!!!! it can happen to ANYONE, in basement or in backyard!!!
so I like the idea of being able to work in a heated basement in cold climates, just keep fire extinguisher handy!!??? one thing for sure, even Jay Leno never has enough room!!!???? LOL

Cool!!!! Future 'barn finds" here in the far future huh? LOL!!!
