Sweet! I wish it was mine!!

I need to ask tho and to qualify i am not any kind of construction builder... Houses like mine (built in about 74) have a vent on both ends of the roof peaks to let air into the attic, I don't see that in your garage so just wondering if there is some type of vent to allow air to enter, then vent out the roof vents to let the summer heat escape?

The attic has vents in the soffit (some people call it bird blocks). Based on 1 square foot of venting for every 300 square feet of attic floor space. The heat in the attic rises out the roof vents drawing cool air into the attic from the soffit vents (convection). The gable vents you are referring to can actually disrupt the convection of air creating hot spots in the attic. That is what I read.
