There's a possibility that I will soon have a Very large garage. How aside from storing cars etc. (which I will likely be doing plenty of, can I make money with it? Long term goal is a mixture of dealers license/flip cars, and build a collection that fills it. I could rent out the space or a portion of it. Any other thoughts?
Also, anyone looking for clean, dry storage? Grm discount! Bigger discount if it's something cool.
What about offering space to small companies that need space. Build some enclosed areas around exterior doors. Does it have 3 phase? That is likely a good selling point.
Oh how I would love to have a garage that large!
If I had enough space for all my crap, I'd get more crap until I was out of space again.

....and then I would wander around through all my projects and smile. 
Mine is 40 by 80. Strangely enough, it is full of my own crap. Don't expect to have room to spare.
45x90 doesn't sound THAT big. The Grosh plus the overhang isn't quite half that big. I'm certain I could use all of that space.
I'd figure out a way to divide the space in half so you could provide a clean storage option.
Check with codes and insurance. The whole "are you going to use your garage as a business space " thing can be a PITA.
There's a lot of liability concerns if you're going to be storing other people's cars as a business. Also, make sure the property is zoned for commercial use.
Also, if you're storing, ensure that you have a nice, iron-clad waiver that every tenant signs saying they'll keep liability coverage on the while it's being stored.
We had a guy in the industrial park adjacent to ours renting out winter storage in an unused part of his shop. He was doing it unofficially and off-the-record business-wise and didn't have any paperwork. It was a bad couple of weeks when part of the building roof caved in under snowload and did a bunch of damage to a few boats he was storing that weren't his. Insurance denied claims on them, customers took them off-policy due to sitting unused, and he had to foot the bill. It was an expensive lesson learned for him.
