    Above 1200 Sq/FT Bald is Beautiful - 7k sq feet+ of Gruntledness

    I'm flabbergasted. Amazed. I really thought I knew a lot about 528s and other Fantastical 80s BMW Beasts, but you, sir Tig, have taken this to an entirely different level. I have owned Bavarias, 3.0s, and a plethora of 3 and 5-series 80s cars, but I'm hesitant to even mention them, because...

    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Mid-Century Moto Mecca Makeover

    And Gregor, your place is AWESOME! Your builds, even more so! My dad was a Korean war vet, and came back with a love of Japanese machines. growing up, we had only Japanese motorcycles, and except for his police vehicles, we had only toyotas, datsuns, and hondas for personal transportation...

    Improving wifi signal and strength to shop?

    Thowing in 2 cents here: For those of you contemplating cat 5/5e/6 there is no need to run conduit, as you can buy 1000' of direct burial grade for less than $100... Makes it a LOT faster ...

    Racedeck/Autodeck raised areas/lips Bullnose?

    Wow guys, thanks for the replies! The more I look at it, the more I think I'm going to prep the strip about 6" in front to 6" behind the lip, then will epoxy/urethane paint it. Next question: How's a guy supposed to decide between Racedeck and Autodeck, when you're both such great forum...

    Racedeck/Autodeck raised areas/lips Bullnose?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on flooring for my 3 car garage. A big deciding factor will be how I can handle the aprox 4ft deep by entire width of the garage area at the back of the garage, which is raised aprox 1 1/2". Basically, the parking areas are one level, and then, the last 4 ft of...

    Modern Garage in Far East

    Inspiration can be a fleeting, sometimes whimsical thing: All too often, we humans are inspired to begin something, only to find that our initial excitement was more chimeric fantasy than a true calling. Other times, what begins as a passion turns normal and mundane due to time and the...

    Did you know That T12 bulbs only have 2 years

    My wife replaced my bedside, 100W bulb with a so-called "equivalent to 100w compact flourescent" that supposedly only burns 1/1000th of the energy or something. I dont' care about the energy. I care about the fact that I have to use a 2nd light to read in bed... normally, it's my 3 cell mag...

    Intro to the Snake Pit

    Bob, AWESOME Cobra and Miata. I find it...telling... that so many Miata owners mention (and participate in) auto-x, while the nay-sayers remain focused only on looks and their insecurities of others' ill-informed preconceptions :) For the Record: I own 3 Miatas (stock 05MSM, MP62 10AE, and a...
