For some reason, the link to their site went down yesterday. I updated the link to another site that shows a big collection of the available garage door wraps.

Style your garage (47 pics) AcidCow.com - videos, pictures, celebs, flash games

Some of you guys have garages that don't need this sort of deception. You win!

I think I do. My garage is fully air conditioned.

(Okay, my house was the model for the neighborhood and the sales office was in the garage. It had a sliding glass door and I had to pay to have that wall knocked out and the garage door put in...)

That's weird....they made YOU pay for that? A friend of mine bought a 'model home', similar in the way their office was set up. But before she closed, they demanded to replace the sliding glass door with the overhead garage door, remove all the extra lighting AND remove the standard 32" side door AND step. No extras for her. And they didn't charge her any extra to do this. But the bummer was that she wanted to keep the 'side door' and step and they refused to let her.

Oh well.....getting back on topic, I'm thinking about building a garage. About a 1/12 scale one....complete with SMART CAR, thank you very much. I think I'll put a "1/12th Actual Size" decal on the back of it!

I love the fighter with the fold up wings, how cool would that look.
Here's my garage, with my smart roadster in it, it is usually parked nose in but did this for the piccy so it would look like the others, don't know anybody that reverses into their garage anyway!
Ellis.
ps. I'm the first to actually have a piccy of a smart in their garage, come on guys, you're slipping!
It's funny as well, that I have the ladders where the wraps have them, must be a European thing!

I used to when I parked in my garage and lived on a paved road. It's an old hypermiler trick. Backing into your spot is a bit more efficient since your car is more efficient when warm, that way your not backing out of a spot when cold. It's just a few ounces of gas but it all adds up. Plus the convenience of cranking up and heading out when you are going somewhere.

Love that tire in the garage, didn't even notice there was an alligator there.

Haha, that's how they get you, a bit like an angler fish, "oh look at that big bobbly tire", then you get your head bitten off.
