Well HOT DOG! I'm a sawhorse again. Thanks JAR, if I would have known it was that easy....I don't know how I got that customized title but it's fixed now.
 
BTW, if I would have know I could customize my title I would have made up a way cooler title than GOLDMEMBER!
 
Looks like this has mostly been resolved, but I would agree with many of the previous posts - an exit is required to either discharge to the exterior OR discharge through an area on the level of exit discharge (IBC 1028.1 Exception 1), with several stipulations if using the latter approach. While a garage could technically meet the requirements of Exception 1, my guess is that most code officials would not accept that arrangement.

On another note, an overhead garage door would not meet any of the door requirements of IBC 1010 for use in a means of egress. You will need a swinging door to leave the garage.
