Default Corvette Garage Wall

Im sure some of you have some cool corvette garages.

Some have the checkered floor.

Mounted rear bumpers.

I wanted to share my little shrine.

My emblems from my c4 (got new ones for the new paint job).
Vette parking only sign, And my old license plate and from my old c5 i had to sell.

Also I have one of those corvette clocks that makes burn out noises every hour on the other side.

Thats it, Share what you have.

Dan

I painted my garage door like an American flag.

I have carpet on 2 of my walls. Desert landscape on one out of cpt and purple rug on the back wall with a big American flag on it. The 3rd wall is wall paper that looks like ceramic tile. Try to get some pictures when I have time

I do...it is about what I have on my walls too...at least for now. Planning on having the floors repainted and custom cabinets mounted on the walls, so I can have some storage in the garage. My two car garage has enough room for my Vette. The other side is full of spare parts for my Vette and my 86 Monte Carlo SS. I need to get the Vette's interior done, so I can get it to the shop for the drivetrain work...then I can get back to the SS and get these parts in the cars and off the garage floor!!

Since Obama refuses to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem or to wear a flag lapel pin, how could he possibly attend a debate in this garage? Dem debate there is out, I guess.

McCain could go with a straight face, though. Oh, yeah...no real opponents left on his side.

Is the checkered pattern from the same can of paint that went on your wheels?

Seriously I like the flag on your door, it looks great reflecting off your hood.

I had a nice garage with the bright white walls, polymer floor, and corvette parking only signs, and a few neons. ~4 months ago, it all was removed, as I am in the process of extending the 3 car garage by 26'. It will be sweet when it is done. I can post pics of what I have so far if anyone is interested. Oh, yeah, 2 vettes inside the existing garage.

Small and crowded but it keeps the cars out of the rain.

Thought I saw a couple of mouse traps over by the wall, wasn't sure. Good idea!! I've been planning to paint my shop floor, and am wondering if the epoxy stuff is worth the money.

by the way, I hope to learn HOW to post pictures here this winter. I do computer stuff during the winter, when we go off daylight saving time, I don't do any computer stuff or tv. I'll post stuff and read the forum, don't try to figure anything out.
