The upstairs is set up for a one-bedroom suite with full bath and a kitchenette. Could be used for rental income or God forbid, a place for me and the spousal unit, if it ever comes to that. . .
The downstairs garage itself is 24' by 40', and the ceiling is 10 feet.

Or the Fonz. I always thought if I ever built a garage I'd do the exact same thing and rent it to pay for it for a while then to use as a man cave or whatever later. Have you considered putting a dumwaiter (big one) in it or roughing it in for later when you want to store parts after you kick out the Fonz?

Oh and in the meantime the Fonz can use the dumbwaiter to get his furniture and groceries up stairs ... I thought about this a lot
Obviously the Fonz is just a euphemism for any potential tenant who would ideally be a female who likes to work on cars and get dirty
much like this young lady

Awesome, I'm jealous....
Why did you use plywood vs. OSB?
Why did you use plywood vs. OSB?
Sweet! It has to feel great to have it under roof.
When I built my steel frame garage, the manufacturer said to use 3/4" plywood for the sides, not OSB for shear strength and moisture resistance. When searching on line at the time though, I wasn't able to find a clear preference for plywood. I did what they said, but it cost more.
