Car pictures at work

I admit to hanging pictures of my car in my office at work. I have some related pictures and the CMS Calendar. I find it often starts a conversation better than family pictures would.

Cheers Ron

I have a HUGE poster printed of my car.

Need an excuse to try the large format printer :)

Its the AutoX shot...

My 2nd fav is the shot of my son and I at the car show last yr.

I have a CMS calendar on a window that looks out over - a storage shelf full of large motor parts.

There's also a shot of my Valiant.

The company discourages mounting photos to the wall, unless your last name matches the one on the building. Mine doesn't.

I do occasionally put a photo on the sill, or on my desk beside the family photos - Usually shots from my yearly trip to the Big Bend Open Road Race.

Oh, yeah, my screensaver and background on the computer are almost always some kind of cool car.

I do, but only because it's on a trophy plaque in my shop, which is my place of employment. Stuff like that doesn't need to be in the house.

Since I work from home, that's easy.

When I did have an office elsewhere, I had a couple car pictures up. They got as many comments as the ones of my dogs. A few people found the photo of my Audi at the Duryea hill climb particularly interesting. Started some conversations with people who normally wouldn't have brought up their car leanings.

My wallpaper on my monitors is a picture of my ruck and TDI the day after I got the truck home... Hopefully I'll replace it sometime this year with a decent picture of my '78 Spit6.

I have a shelf that contains a number of classic and modern die-cast matchbox cars... as well as a little model of the Argo/Yamato...

The car pix in my cubicle can be found on 2 calendars: a Road & Track black & white vintage racing calendar and a page-a-day Car and Driver desk calendar. The R&T calendar always has something interesting. This month it’s a spectacular Louis Klemantaski action shot of Alberto Ascari in an F2 Ferrari at Spa in ‘52. The page-a-day almost always has something interesting and at least once a week has something vintage. But the calendars are there for my own enjoyment. The pictures generate zero interest among my coworkers. They assume if you’re not interested in skiing, golf or one of the pro stick and ball sports (and that would be me), then you must be a social misfit. And if you’re interested in cars, then you must be a grease monkey, or worse, an anti-environmentalist promoting catastrophic climate change.

I have a 24x18 of my MG done by our club photo guy.He did a nice group of pics with shots of ever corner in action.He has about 10 years of photos to chose from.Push It To The Limit run in Toronto by the RX 7 club.He even has one with flames coming out the tail pipe.The Wankel was running rich that day.The caption under it reads More fun than driving a golf ball.It hangs on the wall at the end of my repair bay & in the winter months reminds my of the up coming season.

I had my Alpine on my computer's background. Also I had a small Johnny Lightning on the window sill. Now I work out of the house and have Alpine stuff everywhere...

I have cars pictures at work to keep myself from going insane! I am lucky to were I am the boss. Plus as others have mentioned it is a better conversation to ease the day! I have 3 signed Group 44 prints/posters and a little shrine of cars odd collectables. In 10 years no one has said anything

Similar to Gary, I have an automotive calendar on my "gopher colony" wall...but mine is the Classic Motorsports calendar...

Man, ain't that the truth. We are such social misfits!

We have a bunch of metal cabinets to store stuff in our engineering lab.

For the last four years I've taken the old GRM calendars and cut out all the pictures and taped them to the insides of the doors. Everytime anyone opens a cabinet, they see all these cool cars....it's gotten a positive response from everyone.

On and around my desk I have pictures of my ~Wierd Ensemble~ of cars.

Also pictures of #1 grandaughter!
