    I thought it was just me on holiday!

    I just bought that record.

    Hell Yeah! Layne Staley

    Slightly Stoopid - 2am

    Now playing

    That’s a tough choice, but Mission of Burma has to win out because of how they influenced teenage me. A perfect band.

    It’s not an amateur shop, it’s the guy’s home garage. You’re arguing against working out of your own garage with your buddies.

    Except it isn’t a shop. It is his personal garage.

    I would have killed for a neighbor like that as I hunted the demons that plagued my car. Lord, a neighbor with a garage like that, the lift, the tools, etc., would be an absolute dream for a gearhead.

    I think the guy across the street flips 5 series BMWs. Every weekend and several nights a week he is out in his driveway working on what seems like a different car every few weeks. He often has his garage door open and it is full of tools and car parts. All very nearly organized.

    I’m not going to lie, Jalopnik membership not withstanding, I would rather an amateur auto shop than nosy religious zealot assholes any day. It really doesn’t matter what you are into, those are the kinds of people that make neighborhoods awful and negatively impact property values long-term.

    Community typically grows…

    Serious? WTF are you doing on this website?

    Then live in a neighborhood with zoning or HOA regulations that ban amateur auto shops. It’s not difficult to figure that out.

    Actually I absolutely do! I think you forgot what website you’re commenting on. We are this weird cult called “gearheads” and we actually like cars. Especially weird, broken ones.

    I do have an amateur garage next to my house. The guy who rents it has two Gen 2 RX-7 drift cars that he works on. Nobody minds as long as he’s not revving the heavily modified, unmuffled monsters all night long. Really, nobody cares.

    Please sit in your car with the engine running, in your garage with the garage doors closed, and think for as long as your tiny shitbrain is capable of doing so, about the very stupid thing you’ve posted.

    ....You realize you posted this comment on a website dedicated to reporting the news to the exact type of people who would open such a garage, right?

    Those neighbors are awfully righteous for people whose fences are made out of dildos.
