let's see em: the place where we all probably spend a little (or a lot) too much time.

This is my garage: a little bit messy now cause I've been doing so much work- but I love it. All I need now is a huuuuge air compressor and air tools!



lets see yours!

Great idea for a thread! So here goes:

These are my crap-*** chinese tools. They get the job done, except when they break. The set below is all Craftsman but most of it is missing. I just use the red box to keep stuff like RTV and extra screws. The microwave works -- I dont know what I'd be nuking in the garage though.

Thanks to the Q45's size and cramped accomodations, I use the garbage cans as cushions to know when I'm properly parked.

Parents' SUVs, then my car. As you can see, there's not much room so I end up backing out a bit or entirely and working in the driveway.

I have to make a sharp left to pull in. Thats the power steering fluid that dribbles out of a leaky hose every morning I leave and every day I come home. I guess it builds character.

I keep waxes and other crap on the shelves where I can cram it, but most extra parts and such end up in the trunk of the Q or in my bedroom downstairs.

my spare parts/tool area..my workbench....

I wish I was lucky enough to have had a garage to work in, or even a bunch to work on. But I guess thats one of the draw backs to living with mom and dad.

Jesda, when you come up we can throw some leak free hoses off my Q on yours for a marginal fee......





Thats normally where I worked on my Q (hence past tense )

The rims in the forground I got off ebay for like $130. They are true three peice (as in modular, you can un-bolt the whole thing and add different rim section widths), 16x8 +32 offset, no indication of manufacturer. I think I have like 18 rims or so

Oh yeah and starquests PWN. Cheap good parts
