Grille from a 70's Mercedes god-I-don't-know-what. Was going to stick it on a LeMons car.

Yeah. From the Niva which is mostly a Lada design except for the engine/gearbox.

Hmmm... Don't have a garage, but in my shed I have an old gas range that I use for a workbench. The oven makes for a nice storage area for cordless tools.

There is also a birdcage, even though I've never owned a bird. And a single crutch for a person roughly 4'2" tall. Also a bunch of cheap kid's toys, that like everything else mentioned, was kindly left behind by the previous owner. All of this crap got shoved into the corners by the various Miata and fc rx7 parts I needed to store when I moved in.

Probably the biggest prize was the old Betamax machine that apparently someone tried to use as a George Foreman grill...

Wish I had a pic of that, but I swear to God it had 2-year old bread in it. It had to go... Immediately!!!

Here's a two day old picture of my garage. We recently pulled everything out, cleaned and organized. I have two vintage SAAB projects in there right now. I don't think it gets much more odd... except maybe the guy with Grandad's coffin.

Erm, if we count my garage as my dining room floor-

3 sets of spare wheels for my ms3, 2 sets of plates for the same car (I tend to get new plates instead of new tabs, seriously 3 sets of plates in 4 years) a rear bumper off a gray MINI Cooper S....

Ok, so nothing terribly odd there. More the placement than anything.

Ouch! Good one though. I'd love to resurrect my old T-Maxx nitro RC truck with a weinermobile body on it, that would be awesome!

Nothing "strange" in my garage, just the usual assortment of parts from cars I no longer own and haven't gotten around to ebaying yet. I do have a cool mural on one wall though that we did with the kids when they were small, using their handprints to make as much of it as possible:

im in the process of buying a house, which has a 28x28 detached garage. I got the owner to agree to leave all the shelving, fullsize fridge, and propane heater setup.

so plenty of space to put all sorts of weird crap SWMBO doesnt need to worry herself with.

I ditched my oddities long ago to make way for children's junk, though the ACVW bodywork remains. I've never owned an ACVW.

Anyone need surface-rusted but usable and complete '66 Beetle passenger door, or Bay window bus rear hatch door, both complete with OG glass and interior paneling? Free for pickup in NH. Please?

Multi-port injection head for a 2.2 turbo Dodge. Complete with manis and turbo. "Federal property no trespassing" sign. '74 Duster with Hyundai seats. Big coffee can full of car keys.

Could probably go on...
