    Bakyahd Hacks: a photo biography

    Since the cabbie isn't ready for her photo op, I decided I was going to post my "member rides" in here.

    I've been renting this garage since July of 04, and it's seen some days.

    Here's a pic last fall, which shows the 86 red ES (now back again) before she spent some time with Jarvis, my Honda that I sold on ebay, the Nissan NX that'll be sold soon, the e36 318i we sold, the burgundrot car we flipped over to strip the drivetrain, and the blue es that sold this week, and we're finishing for Sat.

    That's how the garage usually looks. Too many freaking cars, all over the place.

    Here's the driveway to the right of the garage that same day. Front car is a Taurus wag of a customer of mine, the middle car is Dave's new car, and the rear is my roommate's Chrysler T&C. I believe the highest number of cars at the garage (not including our own vehicles) was 15 or 16...


    My, how things change. This was taken today....looks sorta lonely, and sad, eh?


    Where, might you ask, are the 15 other cars?

    Here's one:

    That's Jarvis's old Bronzit almost ready for the scrap yard.

    Oh, and here are the rest ;)


    There's that Nissan again, and next to it my next winter driver, a 94 lifted XJ that needs a few bits and pieces. After that is the 90 calypso 4 door, and then that T&C again. Across the way is the 86/87 es for sale, and in the barn (that you can see) is the 96 GMC.

    Here's what's on the left of the barn:

    That's the euro rolling chassis. She needs a good home.

    And on the right of the barn:

    The 88 super eta awaiting its turn in line to be dismantled.

    Another shot of the bronzit on her roof, to give you a perspective of where the barn is to the garage:

    PS - under that truck bedliner is the ETA engine and tranny from the burgundrot car we junked :) Stealthy!

    Here's the 86 rust bucket in the left garage bay, back for its final duty as parts donor before being put out of its misery...


    and in the right bay, the sold blue 87 es, now with the red rustbucket's 2.93 diff in there ;)


    And last, but most certainly not least, my sound proof that putting your convertible top up or down when it's cold out is a bad fucking idea:


    That's all...hope you enjoy my little story.

    Hahah, that is great.

    How big is your land and what does a piece of land like that go for?

      You have a Georgian's dream yard except for the fact that you're lacking Camaros on blocks.
      The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

        The flipped cars are very modern art.

        I started counting, and lost track of how many E30s some of them I think have twins. You really do need a giant building, very nice use of space though. I think 20 more can fit in that open space.

        Just amazes me, if I leave a car on jack stands (hidden) the next day the home owner's assoctiation shits bricks and declares war. There you have enough room for a destruction derby a la e30 style.

          I'm glad you guys like it - I was figuring those who have come to the compund would get a kick out of it, and others would scoff ;)

          No idea what it sells for - I only rent, and I'm supposed to only be renting the garage and barn - everything outside is a "bending" of the rules ;) It doesn't matter - there's at least another couple acres out back. We brought a few cars out there and have a dirt bike we play on too. I know my landlord bought it dirt cheap. Something is preventing him from building/selling on the land though - zoning laws in this town SUCK. So he got boned.

          Well, we did have an 05 Mustang GT on jack stands for a few days in one of the garage bays while I installed headers, x-pipe, eibach springs, B&M SSK, underdrive pulleys, and a Hypertech programmer ;)

                    EAD

                    The kids have long since left us alone. We're old news. It's been nothing but quiet. Even the dad doesn't come around telling us about "bangin' the ol lady."

                    Thanks for the other pics Mark - man, we've had some good times, and done some really stupid shit ;) lol

                      Then that place is the SHIT. Seriously. And guess what? My Uncle is getting married in Massachussetts, so I have no choice but to return! YES! ;)

                          You know where to go ;)

                          By then the cabbie will have undergone some serious work, and the garage will be lighter by a few cars...
