This poster arrived in the mail today... it's the original "Rennwagen from Zuffenhausen" poster produced in 1985:
 Pretty rare, and very cool. It's almost too nice to put in the garage, methinks; I may just frame it and put it up in my bedroom! Besides, I am running out of poster-sized wall space in the garage. What do you guys think? I still have to build a workbench (under the window), under which will go my air compressor (still in that big carboard box). There will be another smaller shelf put above the one with my EXCELLENCE collection, and a couple more wall pictures to be hung. Also, I have to paint in the "PORSCHE" logo with red... but other than that I am pretty much happy with how the garage looks now... Anyhow, I think the garage has come very far... check out a little before-and-after: Quote:

Looks more like a living room than a garage...
And that's a compliment!

Well, if there is domestic discord, you will have a place to crash. All you will need is a Porta-Potty..

Well, after getting the Rennwagen poster, I decided it was too cool to just go in a garage. It's now framed and hanging in my bedroom:
 The two gas station signs were naturally moved to the garage:  Here's a story for you guys. I finally got around to setting up my air compressor Friday afternoon. Now, let me preface this by saying that when my roommate used to park his car in the garage, before it became my kingdom, he very rarely closed the garage door... ... well, the air compressor box had been open in the garage since Christmas. So here I am breaking down the box, and I see something small and furry fall out. I think to myself, "oh great, now I'm gonna have to chase a mouse out of here..." So I lift up the big piece of cardboard that fell on top of the critter... which is when it spread its wings and started shrieking at me! BAT! I run out of the garage. Well, I got the bat out of there and shined the floodlights up into the rafters to see if there were any more. It didn't look like it, but who knows. my guess is that that poor guy got trapped in the garage when I started locking the door, and he sought out the warmest spot possible (inside this box). In any case, I will be rolling up the windows of the 944 when it is left overnight in the garage from now on.  All that is really left to do in the garage is build a workbench. I plan on building it right under that window, and the air compressor will be stored underneath.

I just reread this thread and discovered that I grew up just a few miles from your new digs. Grandview Terrace. Small world.

I would get a four year lease on your digs. Your landlord might see how nice you made it and up your rent.

Good advice... but the landlord hasn't come to the property in about 3 years, apparently. We only get snowplows, etc., when we call him and complain.
Good thing the rent is so cheap.

haha, yeah, plus you should cover up the "PORSCHE" logo, otherwise he will automatically assume you can afford a lot more
 "What car is that under the cover?" "Uhh...it's a mazda..."

CJ,
Looks awesome! Now you can be ready for the next Bear Mountain run! The only thing I would change is the Yankees Suck poster because all those Boston players seem to be migrating south to NY.
