Affectionately dubbed the Garage-mahal by Scott Kulbeck:


Just the "regular" garage

can you adopt me?

;)

Who's Miata ... what type?

I imagine the trailer is down the street in your overflow lot? :king:

Its a mazdaspeed Miata ('07 I think) with a front passenger corner hit. Frame looked good though. I imagine Tom will have it in like new shape and for sale in short order.

04 Mazdaspeed Miata 20k miles hit right front minor frame damage runs and drives
wanna buy it ?

Turbo, correct ... what class?

Mazdaspeed Miata is back in CS even with the turbo!

Seems surprising, but I have no experience points with that cars conechasing potential.

Karen can't believe how we go off topic instead of immediately switching to the correct thread ... Girls! :gpower: (Karen made me add this!)

... it's all about multi tasking, and simply reading EVERY post! What's so hard about that ?!?!?

I'm already comfortable with the rear tire gap in that Miata.

oh, yeah, tempting me with another Miata, Tom?

oh, oh...

tempting... now Mako is saying "NOOOO,,,,, Karen" K= "but, Mako, wouldn't it be fun to stay with a Miata?"
M= "yes...."

hmmm... but no, we should move onto something else at this point

Wow, such nice cars and garages. My floor is a total mess because of leaky cars and a spill-prone significant other, but still thankful I have a space to play in.

Is it just me or does a garage feel more like home than "home" sometimes?

sometimes it feels more like a vacation.
and sometimes it feels more like work. :barf:

Lots of space when my wife parks in the street for the big guy to work on the "Bubble Top"

A few Corvette Pics from Indy Pace cars, some golf clubs I don't use anymore since I started racing and some old rubber for room freshner.

Life is good.

Garage is so so. It's better when I lower the slot car track from the ceiling.
Check out the foyer though.
Worlds smallest Norton museum (1 bike).

Holy crap John, you must be single....

Honey.... Honey, can I put the Triumph in the entry way?
You want to sleep in the trailer at the storage yard?

John: Nice PhotoShop retouching on the Norton ... you cleaned up almost every drop of oil.

When I take the Norton out of the foyer to ride and then leave it in the garage to work on it. My wife bugs me to bring it back in.
When we lived in Huntington Beach it sat in our white tiled kitchen / family room.
He he

The trick is to leave the oil out.
Actually, I haven't run it in 2 years and after about 18 months it stops leaking (a lot).

The Slot Car track is cool! Terry Free has these incredibly detailed train layouts ... around his Xmas trees ... but slots are more fun.

These iPhone photos don't do Terry any justice ... the detail is insane:

Well
If you want to talk trains and stuff.

But can you ram them together on a bridge that's rigged to blow up like what Gomez did in the Addams Family?

My train traveled from Auburn Hills, to the NuCar Prep Center to the Dealership. We moved a lot of hot wheels every Christmas.

crappy but all I have.

JP,

Dooood, we have to talk! I have a custom 1/64th (yours is 1/32nd, right?) track on a 4'x8' table that I might be doing the very same thing with - hanging it from the ceiling, using pulleys to bring it down - only reason I haven't yet is the 1/1 scale slot car needs too much work right now!

Let's talk @ the next event!!
