My humble garage.

After seeing some of the awesome garages the 6speedonline ballers have I decided I would share a few pics.

It is a work in progress, with lots yet to be done. The next big thing is to have the floor tiled. Either black and white or black and red. I think black and white might be the better for contrast. I will be painting the ceiling red this week.

Just 3 weeks ago you could hardly walk in this garage, so I had to do some major organizing.

Nice garage. I'm going to assume you hand drew the big logo on the wall. Looks great! Did you use a overhead projector? Definately do black and white tile. And nice 911 too.

What year is that? I am thinking about getting an early year narrow body and doing something radical with it, of course this has been on my mind now for some time.

Cool car/garage

One of my neighbors is a teacher, she brought home an overhead projector. hell of alot easier than trying to do it all by hand, but still a pain to paint in the lines.

The car is an 83sc, about the last year that's "easy" to work on yourself. This car has been very reliable. Just turned 100,000 miles.

I can understand you saying you want to do something radical. I would love to have the room for an Outlaw 356 coupe.

Thanks guys. It really was some hard work.

The "Porsche" jack was kinda a spoof. The jack was showing some age...combination of red and white and lots of rust. I completely took it appart, put it through the grinder and sander, sprayed everything with primer and then painted it. Came out nice. It looked like it was missing something so I threw on the sticker.

I was recently laid off work, so thats what gave me all the extra time.

Yep single car garages are a pain to keep clutter free. I bought this home from my folks. It was built in 1961. They now have 20 acres up in North Florida. I grew up here and love the neighborhood. Great place to raise a kid.
Everyone knows each other and looks out for each other. Its in a small town called Lutz, on the outskirts of Tampa.

Its kinda funny because both my wife and I have daily drivers that are new and cost more than what lives in the garage.

By the way...I really love the look of the Cayman.
