    Default Your Garage

    Here's a link to a couple of slide shows from a recent contest. Family Handyman Entries

    It got me to thinking about local efforts to make garages more personal, comfortable, or efficient.

    I'll try to throw in some pics of mine later . . . I'm in the final steps of a reorg now

    Thought you were already there! Is it going to take as long to get to Lubbock as it took to get a Miata?
    Sorry - but I figure it is better coming from me than some of these guys

    Well with my little car, and all my stuff, it might. I'm going to take like 20 trips back and forth.











    Kidding, I leave Friday. I'll miss the SCCA auto-x on the 20th, but will be at the rest of them this season.
