The only things missing are the overhead lift and the mechanic’s pit. And that’s just in the bathroom.

You forgot the rooftop pool and bar. But the first floor is epic.
-
I always thought that either an old service station or an old fires station would’ve made an ideal residence when I was single.

When I found our current house, I called home and told my wife I’d found an awesome garage/shop, with a nice little detached house….
-
I’d swap places between the bathroom & kitchen, to provide the option of connecting the bathroom to the bedroom; also I’d add a laundry room, a living room, maybe a nook somewhere that makes sense as a dining area, and possibly a guest bedroom. Closets and a pantry would be handy too. In my cold-climate part of the US I’d have the living quarters be separated from the garage and would have the living quarters be the best-insulated part of the building (the garage doesn’t need to be kept as warm or cool), and would put a floor on top of the living quarters for storage. Having a dividing wall in the garage between heated workspace and cold storage might be worth considering too.
Random thought… would it be wrong to look at the F-35 joint strike fighter as the CUV of fighter planes: able to perform most any mission there is for a single-seat jet-powered combat aircraft, but too compromised to even be adequate at any of those roles? -
I’d put all the living areas on a mezzanine level. That way, you only have a stairway intruding into the garage space.

Here is a picture of some hubcaps.

It’s missing a library room for all the car books, magazines, and shop manuals.
-
The Pate Museum of Transportation (now gone, was south of FtW) had a library/reading room in the back. Had old mags and newspapers back to the 60’s. I suppose those were donated to the museum. The old furniture was from the 70’s and featured a periscope. Cool place and I’m sad it’s gone.

Needs a urinal.
-
When we built our “shed” (30’x48′ oh yeah!) I DESPERATELY wanted to put in a urinal and slop sink, but it was waaaay too cost prohibitive. However, we have now amassed too many toys and vehicles and have outgrown the shed. We’ve been seriously contemplating building another out building. If we do, it will be fully insulated, fully heated, and it WILL have a urinal and a sink.

Not bad, but eliminate the kitchen and put the bath next to the bedroom. The kitchen appliances can be in the garage along the wall shared with the bath. This makes the garage bigger and minimizes the plumbing work, as all of the fixtures are now adjacent, and makes it easier to reach the kitchen sink and oven for cleaning and/or heating car parts.
