My garage featured in "Classic Motorsports" magazine

The issue was about home shops, garages, etc...





There was a section about the absolutely sick garages that people with money have.





And a section about the garages that shmucks like most of us have (mine is the first feature in this section)





they used some old pics from the Grassroots Motorsports forum that I had posted...if anyone cares, here is what it looks like now. Still junky, but at least evrything is painted black now

Good, I'm sure my wife's girlfriends who are house-sitting while we're at the beach will really enjoy them

If I had a garage like that, I don't think I'd ever crawl out of there.

it's wood, it's just a loft to put crap on for more storage. It's just high enough for me to walk under it standing up straight. Since those pics I've actually moved it to the very front (door end) of the garage and made it about a foot wider for more car clearance.

I wish. I think I got a couple free issues.

Nice garage. Tho from some of the shots it looks kinda cramped.

Ever thought of getting one of those portable lifts?
