    In reply to The Top 15 Modernist Gas Stations
    I saw an article in Classic and Sports Car a few months ago regarding the city of Asmara, in Eritrea (that's East Africa for the geographically challenge) During the Italian occupation in the mid 30's, they built some stunning Art Deco/Modernist buildings. Much of it remains today.

    @Goes Like Stink: That '68 Suburban has a helluva lot more architectural integrity than the busted-ass garage across the street. That's a cherry '69 Torino (?), too.

    I don't know what you're all complaining about; it's a beautiful car, and it's a beautiful space. I thought it was a house, not just a garage though, so I am a little bit disappointed since I would want to live there 24/7. The only thing missing for me is a motorized retractable tennis ball that dangles from the ceiling to make sure the vehicle is perfectly centered in its gallery.

    I don't know why everybody doesn't like the space. I would be happy if just that were my house. Course you would have to put a bench and tools on that far wall, replace that fruity ramp with a lift, and put a fridge somewhere. That way your non-car friends could hang out and watch a movie while you worked on the car. Replace that cushiony table thing in the lower right with a bed and you have a Jalop's dream studio apartment.

    So this isn't a carport at all. It's a snobbish, standalone garage for your swankmobile. It come complete with absolutely no tools, because garages are clearly for watching tv and giving yourself a big pat on the back for owning a cool car.

    The arsonist in me is rising to the surface.

    @yellofury :bigger longer and more yellow: Look, I know I sound a bit like a hypocrite, but I'm really not. I like my car, but it's not considered cool by Jalopnik. I would never be so pretentious as to put my car on display, and if I even had a home with a garage it would contain cars, tools and beer.

    Finally, I'm not really sure who this 'Mike' is, but my iphone connects via bluetooth to the car stereo :P

    Imagine how much sand you'll track in with the car's tires... part of our driveway is dirt, and every so often our concrete-and-hole garage floor "should" be swept off after an inch of fine sand accumulates.

    Kid: "Daddy, thanks for watching Sponge Bob with me, but I liked the living room better when we had a wall there... we didn't used to have so many mosquitos in here then."

    Dad: "Take it easy junior, we'll plant some eucalyptus trees next season."

    Kid: "Daddy, why is the new car where mommy's chair used to be? And where is mommy? I haven't seen her since we got that car."

    Dad: "Well, I tell you what - right after Sponge Bob, we're gonna watch a movie featuring Robert Redford, Woody Harrelson, and Demi Moore - maybe that'll answer all your questions"
