So what else is in your garage besides a jeep?? A simple list will do, but pictures are always better!
A few of the past vehicles are fine too....

Currently...
The 2007 Jeep Liberty, pruchased last month, just lifted

My 2006 Kawasaki ZX6R, next to my STi which I sold last month to buy the jeep
(my old track car, hence the obnoxius rim color. not something i'd drive on the street too often, >5000 miles/year, mostly track or to/from)

My 1986 Dodge Omni GLH-Turbo, the track car now that the STi is gone, freshly built motor last month, owned for 5 years, i've put less than 1000 miles on it!

The girlfriends 2004 supercharged Mercedes C230, her summer car. bought 1yr ago w/ only 40k on it

The girlfriends other car, 2001 Ford Focus. will be used mostly for winter and my work errands when i'm putting on mileage!

I've also owned...
Car before the STi, i really miss this car...
2002 Lexus IS300. what a fun car!

also previously... recent to oldest... over the past 15yrs
2003 EVO
2004 STi
1998 Neon (winter)
1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T
1993 Laser Turbo
1994 Jeep Cherokee
1991 Civic (winter)
2001 GSXR 600
1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T
1991 Talon AWD Turbo
1987 Omni
1990 Probe GT
1986 Jeep Comanche
possibly forgetting a few in there...

So show off whats in your garage!!!
or at least what's kept you busy in the garage over the years...

Mods feel free to move or delete if i missed a similar thread.... I tried searching, so if there is one it must be buried somewhere

Oddly enough, not a single car...just woodworking tools and a bunch of my wife's "stuff" that is usually too in the way for me to do any woodworking.

Couple of years ago I sat down and counted up what I had as DD not the ones that were built for show or speed.
Total was over 110 since 1970
Has included everything from 1949 , 55, 57 Chevs, 32 Chopped Fords, Corvettes including a 66 Stingray with 427 4 speed, AAR Cudas, all kinds of CJs, XJs 4 wheel drive Vans, Full size lifted f 150s etc.
Also bought my first Harley chopper in 1972 , have had a HD in the garage ever since, ( well until two years ago no fun to ride where I am now) and I don't ride over seas junk :lol:

My tool boxes
Tool bench
Shelving units with misc stuff
Tons of car parts from all of our cars
A 1996 eagle talon tsi awd running on a super hogged out evo 3 16g with a 34mm flapper that is fed buy an evo 3 stage 2 port and collector deleted manifold and exiting out to a true 3in o2 eliminator and through a3in mandrel bent straight exhaust cooled by a hahn racing super side mount intercooler with 2.5in hot and cold side hard piping.
Recycle bin
Trash bin

Soon I hope to finish the restoration of the garage (no time) sell the talon and get rid of the junk in there. Then I'm going to build a loft possibly for storage of parts, air compressor, and tools. And finally I want a project jeep parked inside. A man sure can dream.

One of my roommates keeps his POS 86 IROC that hasn't run for a solid week in over 10yrs but supposedly "can still beat a vette..." in the garage.

That same roommate also keeps his Busa in the garage & another one keeps his R6

Added two 1966 john deere garden tractors last week. Dunno why. I don't even have a garden.

No Garage just the KJ in the driveway next to my Tenant's little satrun.

As for other toys (and such) in my garage - I recently sold a 1969 Camaro SS 396 L89 which was all original and numbers matching. I had been hounded for a few years, by more than one person mind you, to sell the car since I rarely drove it. Never thought I would sell. But it's gone. Which leads me to this....

Soon there will be a custom Triumph bobber motorcycle in my garage. Hartz Bros Custom Cycle in upstate New York is the builder. The bike build is scheduled to begin in January ('11). Below is some fyi (from the builder) and pic's of a bike (not mine) I am having built. My bike will pretty much be a exact duplicate of the bike in the pic's here, except I have chosen a black solo seat (instead of the brown seat in the pics). I also am having a mini speedo from a British gauge mfg installed in the center of the handle bars. As for the motor, (as in the pics here) it will also be a 1969 Bonneville 650cc engine. Oh and if you're wondering where are the mirrors? Old School bobbers don't wear mirrors on the handle bars. The thinking was then, as it still is today, mirrors are for sissy's. Or something like that.

Hartz Bros Custom Cycles:

We build complete Triumph unit bobbers.. I dont sell parts.. I dont build bikes using your basket case.. Our business is restoring, rebuilding, customizing, and building custom Triumph bobbers.. Our full builds are NEVER original chopped bikes.. We build every bike from the highest quality parts that we personally search out and purchase.. We use 70 and earlier stock Triumph front frame sections, and only the highest quality donor motors that we rebuild here in-house from the sludge tube up to the head steadies.. Our bikes run like new,feel like new, and look like new, well because they basically are.. We are known around the world.. We stand behind what we sell, and what we sell is by far the most reliable, well built custom Triumphs in the country.. Our stuff is all high end, no corners cut.. Pics tell the story, and customer satisfaction is a MUST.. I build a bike every month. I have seen alot.. And what I have learned is that there is only ONE way to build these bikes, and its the right way.. Anything else is just another thrown together pile of parts... I will document and take pictures of your build so you can see it through the entire process.

So in about two - three months, I will post pics when my bike is delivered to my garage. Either in this thread or if I can't find this thread, in the Midwest / Illinois "Garage" forum here on LOST.

Other than this, not much interesting in my garage right now. Unless you find a Mac Tool chest and various tools interesting.

What in your garage??
