Alright, its time to tackle the garage floor now. I am thinking some sort of lay-it-down type of rubber is the way to go. I like the idea that ill be able to remove it and take it with me down the road and to my next living location. Something like this would be ideal: I am a bit worried...

Got some more peg board hangers, believe it or not, this is just about all the tools it took me to build my race car.

Time for another small update: One of the roomates brought home a nice little shelving unit, and I got some time to put it together and toss a few things onto it. I also got a little rack from ACE hardware for some shovels/brooms and such to hang up. The biggest hurdle that we have overcome...

To start things off, I have been a long time lurker and always wanted to decorate a garage the way I wanted too. I have lived, built and raced a 1990 mazda miata for the past 2 years or so in my parents garage. Now I am away at college and finally scored a 2,600 sq ft place with a 2 car garage...
