Default My Dorm Room Garage

I started talking about my dorm room in another thread (the tools/garage one) but decided not to drag it any further off topic. It's rough being a Corvette enthusiast without a garage, but I'm trying to make due. I've got a decent set of hand tools and a Craftsman 3-ton jack, plus a battery powered 15.6V Craftsman drill (which was apparently discontinued, as I can't find anything else that runs on that voltage!) I plan to do a 5-speed swap fairly soon, so I want to add a floor-press and some kind of a work-table in here.

From the other thread...
You must have a huge dorm room... :crazy:
Nope! I've just got my bed lofted, and parts stuffed everywhere, especially the closet. Any ideas for space saving measures??

Here's a couple shots:

Needless to say, my roommate thinks I'm nuts :yesnod:

Edit: You can't see the floor, but there's 4 boxes of stuff on the ground and even more stuff by my desk.

That and a general grease/oil funk from my tools. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I think a 255 60R15 on the door would make a nice wreath don't you? I'm definitely lining the tires when I get my hands on some lights...
