*This was one of the very first garages I shot for Garage Style Magazine. I’ll never forget pulling out the very small, 5-megapixel, point-and-shoot camera, I think the first digital camera I ever had, and noticing the little bit of dismay and disappointment on the owner’s faces. I think they were expecting a great big camera, or maybe even a crew. But, alas, it was just me and a little clicker camera. But, we did it, and this garage, along with Jay Leno’s among others, ended up in Issue 1 and was distributed to a humble number of subscribers and a respectable number of retail locations. I hope you enjoy this little trip back.
You wouldn’t know it to look at Jim and Karyn’s garage, but it’s more than just a showplace. It’s a real working private garage. The only tell tale signs are the grease splotches on the concrete floor, a work area in the corner, and miscellaneous clues that work has been performed within these walls: rims and tires lean against the walls, a few older jacks and stands linger in the shadows, a couple of engines rest waiting a body and chassis, and a Hitchockesque collection of oil cans overlook everything in sight. Tin Man heaven. Outside of these items, however, the space is immaculate. Click here to read the whole story and see the pictures Universally Automotive – Car as a Common Thread
