She usually stays outside in the first row, but I got tired of either parking under a tree or getting bird crap on it.

Where is your car parked?

Stu how'd you work that out with the rents? You've gotta love 'em!

Here's my garage, kind of a back to nature place:



PS, you need to get that antenna to come down when you turn the key off!

Stole the spot, and now since it is low on gas, it will be easier to fight off the urge to drive it.

That antenna is non power, its just a stupid rod. Previous owner had it in there. I was an idiot and started fidgeting with it and it came loose, then when I retightened it, I laid it bad a little so it looks like its going fast standing still. Or so I say. I don't listen to the radio, so one of these day's, it is going to be removed and patched over.

The garage is the place to be. Mind you I never plan on leaving this car sitting anywhere unattended. It's going to either be parked in the garage or have me in it (or around it).

I know the feeling! Having my RX-7 in a garage at long last made me so happy, too! Just so I can tinker outside of the rain.

But man, does the dust suck! I need a light car cover.

Stu, I'm just fooling with you about the rents and the antenna, I actually think it's kind of cool the way you sneaked in there and grabbed the spot while they weren't looking. Looks like you managed to weasel the LSD in there too.

And yeah those leaves do block out the sun nicely and a little bit of the rain, at least for the first 15 minutes, gives me a little extra time to finish up when a storm moves in.

Yes Sir, a garage would be nice!

Finally having a garage spot to put your -7 in is sweet, too true... as is working on a level playing surface.

But getting it in there is easy; getting it out again, sometimes different.

It's in my parking lot here at my apt. I keep it in the only parking spot I have, DD goes on the street.

I get to work on it in a garage at least.

I'm getting mine kicked out of the garage... I guess letting it chill for 3 years can **** people off when they want to park their car in my spot. Haha... yet DOH!

Stu! Glad to see you got your car in there! The last time I saw the garage, I don't think there was enough room to park a push mower Now that I think about it, wasn't the mower covered up by stuff? Garage looks super clean now. I bet your Dad is happier now.

Man, it was a mess. But I bought some shelves from Wal mart, and it can hold 600lbs. Put all the junk in there, tossed some stuff away, etc. Now we have a 2 car garage that can hold one car

The other part of the garage is full of engine stuff, so technically, right now I own the garage haha.

EDIT: PS I have to detail my fathers car tomorrow, so I will give you some before and after pictures.
