Crazy Garage Idea...
-
yep....
if the doorbell is a truck horn, it's gonna play hell on people's hearing.
i bet that was a fun project to do though.EDIT: you know you could have put some flames on the hood, or like a big mack bulldog. those all look like Peterbuilts.

Yes, that is weird!
I wonder if it were developed in a less literal way could it still retain enough essence to suggest the idea without looking like it belongs in a theme park as a hotel concept. The section with the high clerestory windows looks good. The part that is hard to take seriously is the over-the-top truck look.
I don't understand why I have that reaction to it. I suppose we are trained to think in terms of designing tasteful things. Doing designs that are intentionally kitsch is rather foreign.

Ross, I wonder if you've traveled much around the lower 48- especially Texas, Alabama, or Tennessee?
I know people (with money) who would jump all over this concept!
My only problem is this- as much as I love those Corvettes, I think we need a few Mustangs in there too..
(Smiling Southern guy here) -
well if anyone wants to pitch it to anyone... feel free, and they'll be a nice percentage (%$$$%)in it for you...
Reg, I'm a mustang guy too... but I didn't have any mustangs...
on the detail and painting Ideas... I was thinking each owner could customize their truck with the graphics they wanted... Flames Decals and pinstripes...

the building is actually two units,
the (Truck) front unit being the expensive one,
and (Trailer)back unit being the cheaper...here is the webpage for the project... it has a 25 meg movie on the front...
and here are some night shots...

I don't have any mudflaps on it... although the chrome girls might look great inside...

AUTOMINIUM or Car Condo

Kris- If you can find a suitable tract near ANY NASCAR venue, I think you'd have to fight off the offers with a stick!
(Hmmm- how about a coffee shop that uses old gas pumps for espresso, .. and uhh maybe not?)Boofred- That motel is from one of the few DVD's I WILL NOT lend out. I love the plot, the characters, the scenery, the whole thing just knocks me out! (Okay- for the uninitiated: CARS)

yeah that's what I thought Reg...
I'll send you a PM about my Nascar Idea...

I don't get it? It must be a guy thing....
