  They’ve got the showroom floor; it’s just for show.

  The tools always look completely unused, like the antique kitchen tools my mom hung on the wall for decoration.

    A proper garage should have exposed framing and a pile of spiders next to a pile of grandpas drill bits

      Sweet, mine is proper. TIL my basement is also a proper garage.

      My grandpa was a high school shop teacher after serving in WWII, so I have an absolute gob of early power tools and, more importantly, a ton of manual tools. I love using the manual tools. They take for-fucking-ever, but they don’t intimidate me the way power tools do.

        My grandpa also did various mechanical jobs after WWII. It was wild going through stuff when we moved them in with us

  Americans haven’t had garages for 30 years. They have on-site storage units. Some of which can fit a car.

    I still want Dirk Pitt’s house: A studio apartment above a large aircraft hangar.
