Default Corvette man cave

Thanks




Hi Guys,
I just finished up my man cave, I always wanted to do a corvette room. Just wanted to share some pictures of what I did. One pic is my grandson playing video games. He’s good at them, he can beat me now

50 years too late my friend. I went to school across the river. Used to go over to Latham for 15 cent burgers for dinner. Had plenty of beer though, Rhinegold mostly I think. How's the beer there now?

Damn, I saw Mechanicville and got excited for a second. Sadly not Mechanicsville, Va! Mighty nice setup you've got there.

Thanks, spent the last 2 months every night after work, working on this. My wife was gracious to give me the man cave & garage. She gets the rest of the house. I asked her if the corvette theme idea was good, she gave me her blessing Lol

Yours is nicer, by a longshot.. The only advantage I have is that I actually have full-sized Corvettes inside my man-cave...




And my cave has a helipad...

"Man Cave" sounds WAY too preppy for this ole' kid....we prefer "Sanctuary" I don't need a lift, as I have a 3.5' x 6' deep x 22' long cemented in pit!!
I haven't had problems uploading pics b4, but it won't let me do it NOW.....for some disgusting reason!! I get to the point where it shows 100% done, but when I hit "UPLOAD"....it does nuttin!!

The lower level of our home has a Corvette theme... and the garage.

My wife says I have issues.

I’m going to put up some shelves by the booze so I can put up some more corvette memorabilia on them & some other tributes. The wife want me to put up a wine glass rack. I can see that.

We got a throw blanket with a very clear picture of our dog on it for Xmas. I was thinking of getting one with a picture of my 'vette on it. Something to think about while you're decorating. Here's where it came from: https://www.collage.com/
