Interesting man cave item or poor use of totaled car parts?

I feel like there’s plenty of folks here with racing game set ups at home. I want to see some. How much better or worse is yours?

If the car is totaled, its parts might as well be put to good use. I once built my own rig out of scrap wood, the steering wheel/pedal setup I already owned, and a seat I snagged out of a Subaru Loyale at a junkyard.

But neither of these will ever compete with an Eleetus simulator.

I like it of course my OCD is doesn’t like the fact that the TV isn’t the width of the dash but that’s expensive

Better than mine was... If only I had the resources to have an actual DASHBOARD.

I had a salvage Ford Fusion leather seat and a home-made wood rig to hold my Fanatec setup back in the day.

My plan is to take a seat out of a wrecked smart (I’ve seen them sell for as low as $50) and pair it to a nice wheel with a clutch pedal. Heaven 

Maybe get a second smart seat to use as a recliner. ;)

how cheap are you when you use a CRT screen when you spent that much on the rest
