Default Pictures of your 928's home

I didn't see another "garage pictures" thread in here, so I thought i'd start one. Try to get a picture with a 928 in it, or say something about your 928 to keep this out of off-topic

I don't have any pics at the moment.... will get some later.

The spot where the 928 sits.
Drips it leaves are wiped up with a rag . The tile is from Racedeck and is a huge improvement over the concrete slab. Ive got a air hose just in front of the car leading to a compressor behind the gargage. Have good lighting, stereo for tunes, cordless phone on teh wall and the beer fridge in the corner with the opener bolted to the wall. Next project is to knock a small 12' hole in the wall so i can pipe the cool air from a spare swamp cooler in to the garage...more specifically on ME when im working on the damn thing it in the middle of the summer.
Other shots are what ive been doing over the last year. Me myself an I.

Very nice Tony! I didn't elaborate on my setup, but having Wayne-Dalton custom iDrive motors installed to raise my garage doors vertically to remove the door framing & tracks, so my lifts fit in there. Also have wall-mounted vacuum, filtered-pressure washer, + a normal frige, water bottle, TV, DVD, Stereo & in-wall speakers, + I LOVE my fans.

Here's one of my favorite construction pictures...gotta love those Texas sunsets.

Race deck is cool, I opted for acid-stain to match the exterior of my house.

All I'm concerned about is that my garage and house doesn't look this nice by far. My garage is chaulk full of 928s and parts. Not Pretty, justy functional. I mean I want to do the race deck thing or some regular tiles. With two 928s in the garage with no engine, a 20 foot driveway with my other two 928s, and switching that around with my wife's accord - FUN! but not pretty.

When I am down to one or two good complete cars, and nice cabinets, maybe I'll take some pics.

But its too embarrassing now.

I knew you would come out and show your 928 playground! Again, (as I said during my personal tour) very nice place, and a great neighborhood.

This is what it looked like a month or so ago... Since then I've managed to wash the car , aswell as started fixing the interior of the garage - it'll take a while though.

Edit: Added picture!

WOW, you guys have some nice set-ups. Here is my baby's home. It's a bit mess but worked in for SURE!

Never guess that I had a power steering leak would ya?

Radiant floor heat. Here's the boiler room (for the whole house including the garage).

The first couple pictures were a little misleading.

I just walked out there and took these pics which are a little more realistic.

Is that the upstairs garage or the one downstairs Tim?
