So i’ma show you the parts of the garage that don’t normally get shown.
I will warn you, it’s about as organized as a dinosaur’s dinner plan.
First a little backstory. Originally it used to be the shop that my dad ran his contracting business through but now it’s turned into the “family” garage
we’ll start with a part you’ve never seen before, the actual shop part of the garage.
As you can see it’s full of equipment that I rarely ever use. I spend very little time in here, mainly because my car won’t fit, but the time I do spend in here I’m plugging the air hose or either looking for a metric nut/bolt, which is a lost cause because 99% of hardware in here is standard.
Now let’s move on the actual garage part.
This is the desk of stuff, mainly small stuff like wiring, fluids and things get put here.
Next up is the shelf and wagon of oddball tools/parts
complete with computer and internet.
This is the table of things that pretty much never get used, contents include an alfa transmission, a gallon of bondo and an air conditioner.
Finally this is the wall of stuff that gets used more commonly and/or i’m just too lazy to put back. If you look closely you’ll also notice that I’m now using an actual cart to propel the welder and not a plastic creeper.
That concludes the “tour” of my garage space.

Okay, MTV, but I want to know what Oppo users can do better in 2017. I know that we need to stop saying the word “Miata”, and that all transmissions need to be saved, but the manuals are more important to save right now.
(If you don’t get it, I’ll gladly explain).

Does this happen to be an H3H3 reference?

Kudos to you for posting these pics. There’s an entire half of my garage that I’m too embarrassed about to show you guys. It’s a disaster .
It breaks my heart to see valuable workbench space used as a storage shelf. That’s something that I’ve been wrestling with, too. It’s such a tempting spot to leave things.

one of my friends’ dads had a gas station in the late 70s, and it had a shop. it closed down long before either me or my friend were born. its contents were moved to the family garage . it had all form of magic fixall inside of it. everything from tire machines, to key machines, sunnen ignition test machines from the 60's. welders, torches, alignment tools.fixall manuals, compressors. AND his dad was always setting there shaking his head “thats not going to work” and willing to show us how to MAKE what was at hand work. old shop fillings, are the greatest, the cantankerous old men that ran them too.
as a kids, we did find out for ourselves that you CAN physically mount a 14 inch tire on a 15 inch wheel, and that it will air up.
you got some NICE stock there.

I’ll see your garage and raise you a shed.

Dear Oppo Friend: fire extinguishers are conspicuously absent in your extremely flammable garage. I’d recommend a CO2 for your first line of defense (not messy), and Halon or other ABC as my second line. Be safe.
