Garage Mirage
"My neighbor across the street he bought himself a Viper, funny thing is I never seen him drive it." | |
If you always wanted a garage like the ones in the magazines with the Ferrari next to a classic hot rod sitting in a sparkling clean garage, this product is for you.
It is a full garage-width photoprint screen of a state of the art garage that you simply roll down like a shade. Breathable screen lets
in air and gives illusion of a car collector's dream garage while keeping the dust and neighbors' eyes off of your 86 Nissan Pulsar perpetual project car and your brother-in-laws' one wheeled Triumph motorcycle leaning against the bumper pool table. Do whatever it is you do in your garage- you can see them, but they can't see you or your mess of a garage.
Choice of car images and garage furnishings for standard garage widths.
you got one of these, Ninja?

Maybe you've never seen him drive it because he already baked this idea. |
|
| |
Uh, that is the neighbor talking. |
|
| |
Then put out different designs ... like an internal-view of human intestins or a hellish-demonic theme (for halloween?) ... or a racecar pit crew taking a rest next to a famous driver's car ... that would be sweet! |
|

One night while brain jamming with friends I concocted
a similar idea, only in reverse. Noting that in
certain suburbs here in the USA, the ones with the
same styled houses for as far as the eye can see. All
have garages that are in front of the houses. Many
people have their garage doors open so other neighbors
can see the accumulation of consumer junk they possess.
A status symbol of sorts. If you don't have mountains of
crap filling your garage you gotta be a loser! |
|
| |
So my idea was to have a giant photo the width and height
of the garage door. The image being of a totally jam-
packed interior. An old car, a restoration project car,
sporting equipment,lawn furniture, tools,an ATV,etc. |
|
| |
With this faux 'stuffed garage' image in place, a person
could use the empty 'real' garage interior for an extra
bedroom, den or something else. Your status with your
neighbors remains intact. |

I'm the only person on my block who can fit both cars in his frigging garage...
|
|
| |
Yes, but I had them custom built to 20x their normal size. |
|
| |
I just had this idea! I was going to call it "Ceci n'est pas un Passat". |
|

Bun for getting in, uh, seven years ahead of me. [+] |

{Hey! I used to drive a Nissan Pulsar!}
Just to say you'd want at least two screens which you could alternate. They'd show the same cars, but parked differently (e.g. swapped around or facing out/in, etc.) |
|
| |
Could be reversed as an anti-theft measure. Keep your fancy cars and other desirable stuff behind a picture showing a rusting wreck on blocks, used shooting targets, large dog kennels etc. |
|
| |
Those with alternate ideas in English pronunciation might allow for an idea wherin two people are joined in matrimony within the bounds of a building designed to store motor vehicles. Yes, that's right, a Garage Marriage. |
|
| |
an outbuilding used to store the horse-drawn vehicle used for transportation from fancy nuptials. |
|
| |
...in which you inappropriately touch people ("frottage marriage carriage garage") |
|
| |
or think about it fondly anyways (dotage....) |
|
| |
... Involving (UK) gaol inmates. (Carriage-storage garage porridge marriage. Sorry, frottage and dotage didn't pass my benchmark). |
|
| |
What wattage lights frottage in a cottage? |
