My first garage!

I already mentioned this in the "V6 forums are dead" thread, but I am so pumped about it that I decided it deserves its own thread. Besides, now I have pictures. So I moved to a new apartment, and this one has an attached garage. It's kinda small, but big enough to open those big, long Mustang coupe doors on both sides at the same time and get out comfortably. I can walk all around it without touching anything easily. I can drive in to the garage, get out, and walk into my apartment. I'll be spending many an hour out there picking at the car with q-tips and toothbrushes this winter..
This is a really big deal for me because, some of you that have been on here a while may remember me about one year ago whining about some F'n kids at my old place vandalizing my car! and if I did what I wanted to do to them, then I'd be enjoying free Government housing for 30 to life with a new friend named Bubba. For your viewing pleasure I re-posted a picture I had up here a year ago; I had to go to Radio Shack and buy a security camera to catch them, but it worked! There is also a new picture from a few days ago, from my cell phone camera. The garage is a bit bigger than it looks in the photo. So anyway, now the car's out of the reach of neighbor kids and dive-bombing birds with bad cases of diarhhea! And that makes the world a better place.

Well, if life gets to be too much and I just can't take it anymore, OR if they convert the Mustang line to front-wheel-drive, Mazda-engined hybrids, then I can close the garage door, open up the car windows, take ten nyquil, fire up the engine and take a nice long nap!



oh by the way, I am totally kidding. I'm not suicidal. There are a few things in this life I have left to do, like scoring with miss october!

I think i told you this back in V6 forums...but great job w/ the garage and apartments. BTW i remember readin about it, but what all did the neighbor bastards do to your car?

smeared plums from a tree all over it in the hot sun, so it dried to a sticky mess.. when I hosed it off I came out not 10 minutes later and they had done it again. Also one time I found nails under my wheels.. if I had backed up I would have had 4 flat tires. That's when I got the security camera, caught them on tape, and gave it to the apartment manager. I told her, underage kids or not, next time I catch them I'm calling the cops. They pretty much left it alone after that. So now I'm in a new place, in a garage, and all that stuff is in the past.

Wow I was surprised to see this old thread dragged up again.. I have since put up in my garage: 15 Mustang posters, 5 tin signs, 2 Mustang calendars, and one Mustang clock. I bought 2 fluorescent lights for overhead, and as soon as I can snag a power drill, I'll hang them up, then bring on winter. I'll have a dry, well-lit garage to pick over the car with a toothbrush!
