Garage Art
I had been thinking about blowing up the photo of a Cobra getting air for a number of years, and just hadn't gotten around to it. I finally took the time today, and here is the final product hanging in Garage Mahal.
Reading Herman's (289FIA_Cobra) post on his tin garage art disrupted my inertia...

Anybody else take the time to add art to their garage? Actually, in preparation for building my ERA I remodeled my garage, sheetrocking the ceiling, installing recessed lighting, a 16-foot long workbench (with a sink and hot water), and even put in crown moulding and shallow cabinets to house all of my tools.
What about everyone else's garage art? Let's see it!

Wow! Nice workspace!
I have ONE picture hanging on the wall, and I think I've "decorated". I think I'll have to figure out a place for my Cobra scale models and Hot Wheels.
Nice.
Any others out there?

OK-- OK, I'll have to admit that the pictures are not how the garage typically looks. We were having a BBQ and I wanted to show off the new RV garage/shop a little bit. I took the pictures while all was new & clean. 
My old shop was so small that you had to clean up after yourself constantly or you could't get through the door.

That is a great idea for the valve covers. I know what I'm going to do with my extra "Cobra" covers now.

Bob my junk is in one bay of my 3 car garage and a 14 X 16 shed next to my shop. Is that a collection of empty beer bottles on your shelf or do you just drink warm beer

3 car garage? Shed? Lucky dog. What a man cave!
Yeah…they are empty beer bottles. They counter balance the opposite wall. Every time I empty one, I’m forced to peddle one of those hanging bikes… Sucks when you hit 50.

Nice kayaks---that's not a garage; it's a toy box.
What's under the car cover on the left?

To answer the question as to what is under the cover: That would be my baby
97 Miata with numerous upgrades. Oh, I'm his son, if you were wondering why I answered. |

I’m envious of some of these “well-decorated car showroom” garages (like DD & lamaluv have). I keep saying I’m going to clean mine up and hang some art work…but never do.
Neighbor down the street had an incredible garage. Museum quality. I’ll try to dig up a picture. His dad had an even better one…converted the airplane hangar on their property to his car museum. Had about 25 exotics in there. The interior decoration was ridiculous.
Yes – my son’s supercharged Miata is under the cover. It runs like a scolded cat in the tight stuff.

Kevin I don't think that it just US garages. It's more a case of if a guy has a pretty wife or girl friend you see lots of pictures and not so many from the guys with ugly ones
