Smile Look what's in Jim's garage. (pic's added)

I just got a digi cam

After this, there is a chance my posts will be a LOT more "illustrated"

Really, my garage has NEVER looked this good to me.....



One for fun. One for the snow.

I really like the idea of this a lot.

That SEC would make anybody's garage look great, Jim. Nice.

That's what I was thinking! I could have sworn they were actually for lumber and woodworking tools as well as all the broken crap that's waiting for me to fix it (See "Man" thread).

You are the person who, if you were standing 2 inches in front of a beautiful girl who was wearing a sexy low cut dress, would look down the front of it and remark on the patterns of the tiles you saw on the floor

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - and I'm afraid in my eyes you are overestimating the "value" of your ride.

I'm glad it works for you.... but a nice set of shelves would really hide all that drywall work. What did they do? look through the dumpsters and pick put scrap pieces?

Good one, Jim. Maybe you should add to Kuan's "Metaphors" thread.

Looks way better than our garage. What are those extra license plates for, evading the cops?

No, they are old alphnumeric plates (NOT personalized ones) that I was able to get for cars I used to own:

2JIM123 (off my 82 Crown Vic)

3JIM988 (off my 88 Crown Vic)
