Our garages are a sanctuary. There are unspoken rules and codes passed down through the generations before us about proper conduct in the cave. And let’s be honest, there are some things that just don’t (or shouldn’t) fly within those four walls, right? Here’s my list… what are the things you’d never hear (or want to hear) in your garage?
10. Hey, can we put on some ABBA?
9. Nope, I’ve never had any electrical problems with my British car.
8. I really think I have enough tools.
7. A beer? No thanks, hon. I’d rather have a Vitamin Water.
6. I have too much space in here.
5. Of course I would never use an oily rag and electrical tape as a bandage. Take me to the emergency room!
4. That music is WAY too loud!
3. I think I’ll just do wheels and an intake. I don’t want to mod this one.
2. Cucumber and watercress sandwich anyone?
1. Well now, that project is finished.

Wow, way to tag ABBA…some Mamma Mia fans will be sorely misled!
Things you will hear in our garage? “You cleaned the garage? Where is everything now?!?”

5. This project can definitely wait until the morning so I can do it the right way.
4. Of course I’d rather be watching “John and Kate Plus Eight”. Be right there, honey.
3. I’ve been thinking… having a refrigerator just for beer is kind of unnecessary.
2. Let me hook up an intercom out here so you can get a hold of me anytime.
1. No, don’t fire it up right now. Let’s have a little consideration for the neighbors.

1. There is no more room for ANYTHING in here!
2. Dogs not welcome
3. I think a more tasteful selection of posters and art would be appropriate. No more pretty ladies and cars, think Water Lillies
4. Can you believe Bob’s new haircut? FABULOUS!

Of course there’s lots of room for your mother’s stuff – we can store it indefinitely!
You’re right hon, seafoam or mauve would look better than old license plates on the wall.
Absolutely – two hours a night int he garage is waaaaaaay too much

What a great list. I think my brain is fried as I am not coming up with anything right now. I will think on this, and try again! Sorry for failing on you! I do have this one.
1. Can’t you and your poker boys take your game elsewhere?

- That exhaust is WAY too loud!
- There are too many cars in here
- I agree honey, we do need a Glade plug-in so we don’t smell all the gas and oil
- Window treatments, SURE!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Window treatments. Now THAT is funny!

- Right. I never re-stock the beer fridge until I run out!
- You’re right, dear. I DO have too many detailing products.
