Was gifted the Harley photo, when I had a blue Harley it was nice piece of art. Also was gifted final fantasy Ix clock. Granted I never put batteries in it. Probably should, and tail of dragon when I used to go.

Unfortunately I sold the mustang few years back, due to bad financial gambling decisions.
I am out of the hole now though and recently splurged got me that little cheap gr86 as my new summer toy.

would of considered ecoboost, but. No more manuals. :(

that said, I like my new car and happy with life again. Gr86 & home are both on track to be paid off in 12 months!

@FreePenguin is that Race Deck flooring? Is it durable? I noticed that your motorcycle kickstand is sitting on a different type of material.

I’m trying to decide if I want to go that route instead of epoxy in my next garage.

A buddy got me the tank flag as a housewarming gift. I love it.

the floor is durable, as a show/basic use garage.

Kickstand from my sportbike does beat up tiles over time, so I deliberately made a color as a place marker as a sacrificial tile, ie, not parking bike randomly around the garage. I try to them them on the few tiles I’m willing to sacrifice, I have like 5 extra tiles in diff colors I can move around. Takes 5 mins to swap tiles around in garage

but yeah, epoxy is better. I would have done poxy, but my garage settled at some point, and was fixed foundation, but the cracks remain.

I wasn’t pouring and redoing it. Too much money, to potentially re crack again.

Driving/on/off etc everything else is good. But I’m not dragging transmissions and engines around. Super easy to clean and take care of.

My garage when bought home, you can see cracks, so I went race deck to cover them. No regrets for my purpose! If slab wasn’t destroyed, epoxy would have been my first choice. I love epoxy

Oh yeah, I also put 2 layers of high quality landscape fabric, people say they are clacky or clackity, so I did people’s recommendation, no noise, and I guess it cushions the floor in a way. I’d recommend it

my total cost was 1000 bucks back in 2016. Black Friday or something sale, tuffshield variant.

recently I epoxy- 1 part seal kreted, 2 coats paint, 2 coats gloss finisher to this area. Not a bad $70 spent.

I love race deck flooring and the look of epoxy flooring. My garage is a working garage so the floor takes a beating ranging from floor Jack's , hamering and welding. I went the epoxy route and it lasted 3 years before it started chiping. And it was almost impossible to touch up. So it finally got bad enough I had it removed(what a pain that was). Anyway I now use just concrete floor paint and added paint chips. Now when I need to touch it up due to any kind of damage I keep a 40 dollar gallon of dove gray paint and some blue paint chips and just paint over the damaged part, sprinkle some chips and its as good as new. Here is a photo of the area that recieves the most abuse. It's about 6 years old now with lots of touch up added.

good to hear things are back on track for you! We all go through struggles in life and sometimes hard lessons. I know i've had my share.

That really is a great way to go. Sometimes you can overthink things. I have the swiss trax as mine is more of a show garage, detailing, cleaning, light mods... no engine swaps being done in my space. Pretty happy with the swiss trax.

yep. pretty happy with race deck, would of done trax if I had a floor drain so I could wash cars and such. our floors can't handle the heavy duty mechanic stuff, but for 90% of people its great imo. I feel pretty good for the 1k I paid for my 400 sq feet area. I bet prices are up now

I will chime in on this as well since I’ve had RaceDeck & currently have an "Epoxy" type floor. Loved the RaceDeck however since I’m in Indy I wasn’t happy with having a daily driver parked on it in the winter (wifes car) due to salt crystals forming at the seams but I see you are in FL so you won’t have those issues. Depending on how much sun exposure your garage floor gets it can cause the tiles to buckle slightly (even with the required expansion gap around the perimeter) and the tiles definitely don’t like it when you turn the wheels while the car is standing still. I put 3 layers of landscape fabric under the tiles to deaden the sound they make. I also always used plywood under my jack & jackstands and what ever you do never place your car on jackstands on spare tiles, the entire car on jackstands WILL slide on the floor. Ask me how I know.

Regarding my epoxy floor not much to say other than I prefer (love) it over the tiles and will always be my first choice if I ever have to do another garage floor

 

[FreePenguin]

If I get another house with a good slab, I will be doing professional epoxy (probably myself) as I like that type of thing. if it dont hold, grind up and redo it lol. oh, the buckling thing, never experienced any buckling, but I have read about people having that issue. I have about an half inch gap around the entire perimeter of my flooring, and the sloped edging that goes around it. I also used a piece of wood to go under the jack when I did it on it.

Several wide-angle views of the various wall hangings in my shop. Yes, I have too much junk...
