This old slot car box top in a frame is my favorite

And this old popular mechanics "race car spotters guide" that I framed is really cool too.

I put this puzzle together, glued it, then stuck it in a cheap frame. It hanges right above my garage bathroom urinal.

I like the painted palllet idea. I may give it a try. I like to make things out of pallets.

To ad insult to injury, it's now been replaced by something "more appropriate" purchased from Pier One. I've guess I'm nearing the same sort of acceptance you are talking about.

It's only taken 20 years to complete my total emasculation

I have a cam cover from the CART engines I worked on and lots of pictures of the cars I have been associated with over many years.

I was at the Sebring 12 Hour race a few years ago and ran across this genuine Cobra Daytona Coupe. It was later sold by Mecum for $7.25 million IIRC. By chance I had my old Cannon AE-1 with me, and was taking film pics for fun. I like the way this turned out, as it looks like it could have been taken in 1964-- and anyone who's been to Sebring would recognize the pavement. It hangs in my GRM office, along with other car-related stuff.

Before a big family get-together, I replaced our wedding photo in the dining room with a picture of Evel Knievel doing a wheelie.

I have something very similar to this in the garage, except all of the 911s are silhouetted, and it has a tagline that reads "Every Porsche owes its soul to those that came before."

The funny part is I've only owned one Porsche, and I don't particularly like 911s, but it's hard to deny a legend.

Did this recently at my shopmate's birthday party. He borrowed a projector and we projected an image up on the wall and traced the outline in tape for a fun, easy, non-permanent project.

We did his Honda N600 first, then my AE86.

In my single guy days the chunk of old stock car door was hung over my living room couch. It has since been banished to the garage.

I also have 3/4 of a '99 NASCAR Chevy Monte Carlo front bumper that I got after a tough race at Nazareth. It's been signed by its driver with the inscription "It was a pretty good race until this happened."
