Look Guys.... The dreaded "interior designer" is invading the last refuge of men in their own home.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Women Invade the Garage!

We have been run out of the family room, the living room, the dining room, and the bedroom by the "interior designer". Now they want to invade the garage. Think about it.. no beer fridge, or welders! Just cheery paint, and (shudder) ceiling fans! How are we going to put in a lift if the ceiling fan is in the way of the car going up?

This is happening to me... and it could happen to you!!

My girlfriend is a Interior designer but she just helps me keeping the garage clean so we can park the 914 in there. It does have storage cabinets but it doesn't look anything like Quarl's. lol
I should put up more chick/car posters on the walls, hmmm now thats decorating!

Clay... face it, your garage is a stinky hell-hole. Once we spring Martha we're sending her your way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I told my wife she has to take her clothes off if she wants to come in the garage... (didn't want her to get any grease on her... duds) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

My wife is building us a 2 car garage add-on so she can have a clean garage to pull her car into at night. At least that's what she thinks...

Fly fans would be great ...just clip the shop towels to 'em at slow speeds and you got a DIY towel drier ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

It's not just the women:
A friend of mine stopped by yesterday to watch me put the finishing touches on the turbo engine before I stick it back in the car. he lives in south OC in an upscale neighborhood (like there is anything else there). His garage is a showplace because he never, ever uses it. He suggested I get some really nice cabinets, paint, floor tile, etc for my garage to make it more functional like his.
I asked him when the last time he built anything in his garage. He had that "deer in the headlights" look so I told him my garage was plenty functional, thank you.
Guys with spotless garages and garage queen cars drive me nuts.

I have a new garage and a new girlfriend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) We already have an understanding about the garage, if our relationship goes the distance.

Oh, the garage already has a nickname, the "man den." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) Redundant, but it seems to have stuck.

If a man's home is no longer his castle, at least his garage should be... mine has a name, and it be "man land", women are welcome as long as they bring beer. Any music is good so long as it is the blues. Oil drippings on the floor are not leaks, it is the 914 marking its territory. Nuf said.

I just sent the author of the article an e-mail. I'm sure she will love to read the posts! This is just the type of controversy authors hope to create. Hopefully she'll post a reply.

It has been pretty funny reading all these posts. Hopefully if my wife decorates my carport she'll start with a rear wall and a garage door so I can have a GARAGE.
