Default my garage is...

my garage is not only the place where i keep my cars, it's the place where i keep my things, my thoughts, where i feel free to meditate, where i feel single again, where nobody can enter without knocking at the door, where i plan the things to do for the future and where myself is more similar to myself...

this is my garage

Giuseppe, did someone slip something into your drink today? My garage sounds much more like Twin-Turbo's garage. Although since I live by myself, I generally do not need a place of solitude. My house is my 'Fortress Of Solitude'.

no, marty, nobody slip anything into my drink
i notice though that a 'fortress of solitude' is a common need, you have your house, i only have my garage

Mine has the exact same post Gonna be building a new garage with full 4 post lift and that one will have NO post.

Giuseppe, you gotta deal with the pluses and the minus...I have seen pics of your woman and you seem to have a pretty nice life. Although I have my whole house for solitude, sometimes it is a bit lonely as its not really a small house. Maybe one of these days there will be somone to share it with, but then again I would probably not have my home theater or even the vette for that matter.

My garage is a freakin' mess. Sadly, I share mine with two boys and a woman.
OK ... a woman who needs a place to park her Harley. She's cool.


Old pic ... replace the hanging frame with a rolling C3, without picking
up any mess and that's basically it. One side of the 2 stall mess.
Half the parts lying around (like the IRS setup on the floor in the back)
are spare parts. My Ttops and rear deck cannot be seen, due
to the boxes of parts stacked on top (interior already full).
