Lets see your Garage!

Nice setup. Two things:

1) Where'd you get that tire/wheel rack?
2) Sell me your Homegrown :D

1) I made the rack, tho I screwed up on the measurements. I didn't have a tire handy when I made it, so I guessed and therefore made the horizantal measurement stoo short. The original intent was to have the wheels/tires resting on the bottom bar.
2) The yellow bike belongs to my former roomate. Mine is behind it, though hard to see. It's built around a Shwinn chassis also. It's been so long since I've messed with it, much less riden it. The bike has seen a couple thousand miles, but needs a bit of work. Both wheels are bent, the chain is worn as well as both sprockets, and I think it needs a new derailer. I love that bike, it's sooo light. But anyway, that's my spring project as I hope to get back into the game next year (new year's resolution :D ).

What....I didn't notice any homegrown!
Oh s*** *smacks head*...the lights...ha ha...Kev...you got some explaining bro.

lol, the lights. Strangely enough, I collect streetlights. It's a strange thing that I've been intersted/fascinated with since I was a kid. The technology and concepts involved in the whole bit is pretty fascinating too. heh The "round" light hanging in the middle of the garage is perfect for when working in the engine bay. Not too much light and not too little. It's evenly dispersed and blah blah blah. IOW, it lights up the engine bay perfectly and distributes light where it's needed including the "tight" areas.

Already got two more valuable (though less likeable) cars, so the P5 gets to stay outside.
 
My garage

I was out of town when the thread went up, but I washed/waxed the LX today, and washed the P5, so I took some pictures. The garage is big enough to open doors on both sides of both cars, otherwise it's nothing special. What's special is my 12'X21' shop behind it with the garage door on the back of the house! That's where the bikes, tools, race tires and parts live!

And here's the garage to be. I can't wait to get back to working on the racers and get out of this hell hole apartment.

New resurfaced driveway and walk ways. This was only thing done by someone else professional. We touched everything except the garage floor, that's the only thing that's the same as it was 2 weeks ago. Cheers.

*cough cough* no garage *cough* but it is where she spends her nights for the most part. In my defense its a gated property with security access.

I'm going to be so sad when I go home for "Spring" break (1st week of March I think) because at home we don't have a garage.

I think for the summer if I'm back home I'm going to buy one of those tarp and steel tube structures and put it in my back yard so at least my car can get some shade and be protected from pollen.
 
Wow, what an odd garage, but I guess thats how it is up north. Kinda looks like garages you see on the movies. Its kinda cool in an odd way. I'd freak out if I was changing my oil under my car and all of a sudden I see 2-3 pairs of feet by my bumper.

Meh it's an apartment up at school so I'm not complaining. Better than living on campus :D

My neighbors must think I'm crazy though because I'm always down there working on my car. That or they think that Mazdas are really unreliable because my hood is open so often :D

There's 12 garage bays in the building. It's definitely a weird building. 12 bays and 4 1-bedroom apartments on the ground level, and 4 2-bedroom apartments each on the 2nd and 3rd floors
