Jack Burton's thread about "ultimate" garages made me start thinking about what makes a garage a "man cave", so I came up with a couple of lines.

Read these in Jeff Foxworthy's voice, the way he does his "you just might be a red neck" one liners.

If your garage has more than one TV in it, it just might be a man cave.

If the TV in your garage is bigger than the TV in your living room, it just might be a man cave.

If your garage has any seating that reclines, it just might be a man cave.

If your garage has any carpet in it, it just might be a man cave.

If your garage has a kegerator in it, it just might be a man cave.


feel free to add to this thread with your own observations as to what makes a garage a "man cave".

I enjoyed that other thread, but didn't reply in it. However, I must say I cringe every time I hear "man cave". It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

the fact is, a "man cave" means different things to different people.

If your garage has a Harley, dartboard, AND a poker table.

The term Man Cave says to me you want a place to hide from the wife and hang out with your friends. Not my style. I don't need to hide from my wife. I can fix things and I enjoy it too. I need room to work not to hang out. That is what my den is for. But if that is your thing, good on ya.

PLEASE..... nobody take offense to this comment. I also just don't get the "man cave" terminology. Again, I am not zeroing in on anyone using that term. JMHO. I guess garage or shop has always done it for me.

dont need a man cave, just a shop. but if the square footage is a multiple of the house.....

BTW, love the car in your sig :)

If you have a motorcycle in your living room, and engine parts in the bathtub, your whole house qualifies as your mancave

True!

Our neighbor's, across the street, are in their garage from sunrise to sunset, working on stuff (quads, race bikes, car sound systems, et cetera). We call them "the garage people". LoL!

Also, on the block that's north of us, there are two sets of "cave dwellers" that are in the garages every night.

One of the garages is full of tool cabinets, and they're always working on this or that vehicle.

The other ones have a sofa, carpet, and TV in their garage. They're "young uns" and party in it with their friends every night.

The thing that gets me is, all of these "cave men" leave their garage doors open, for all the world to see what they're doing.

Weird!

If the wife refuses to spend any considerable amount of time there, you might have a man cave.

That's just asking for trouble :headscrat never sure if that's because they are flash or just stupid :confused: but you can be sure they will whine like babies if they get burgled.

to me, a "man cave" is a place to escape from the world, and entertain.

i have my name on a house (short sale). it has a basement (i only dreamed of a basement).
this space is going to have a KICK *** home theater system, pool table, shuffleboard, and whatever else. some great escapism right there.

oh, it also has a 3y/o 24x30 garage.
