Default Show me your garage

Well I finally built my new workbench and organized my new automotive tools and cleaned things up in the garage. Its not much but its a start and I am happy to have a small place in the garage thats well equipped so I can DIY on the p-cars.

So I am sure there are some pretty nice garages out there. Lets see what everyone else has got.

Unfortunetley i do not have a garage where i live and end up doing everything in my driveway.

On the bright side i have my fathers shop available to me whenever i please, 2x lifts, tire mounting machine, air tools and every Snap-On tool in the catalog available.

The downside is that its 20 miles away...

I tried to take a pic but the camera couldn't focus on anything it's so cluttered. I do have a custom hydrocarbon coated concrete floor though.

Default Not mine but...

Cool garages...if you ever want to paint the floors I know a guy to contact...I'm using this approach when I do mine. Its done by an company who does hangers for aircraft etc. The paint is shiny and very smooth but non slip. You can put oil on it and it won't do a thing to it, and you won't break your neck.

They have to sand your floor, primer it, buff it etc. This guy put vinyl designs down before the resin was applied. He's a guy from Ferrarichat.com (ferrari guys), hope no one minds the pics. I want to do this but put the Porsche Crest where each Porsche will park, the BMW roundel for the bimmer etc.

man, not to go too far off topic

I almost shed a tear when I saw the Street Fighter 2 game in your garage. A friend and I could go 3-4 hours on a buck at pinball pete's back in the day. That and the original Mortal Kombat game probably knocked my GPA in high school down a full point.

I was doing a google image search for "sidewalk" so I could just post that as my pic (since I always have to work outside), but then google found this pic:
