Gary’s Garage

So about the garage – I was sitting at my desk at work writing some crap for the job, and began to think how mundane this stuff was which made me start thinking once again about my Uncle’s Mustang. I always had issues with daydreaming in grade school – even college, haha – and there I went right off into “what if” thoughts – and I began to think about the most insane and expensive solutions like “I should just rebuild the garage at my house to fit the car” and “let me rent a closed down auto shop for $2k per month” to “let me rent a friend’s garage” to “what about my parent’s garage” to…. WAIT – a friends garage? That might work, but who? And I immediately thought of my buddy Gary.

Gary had a unique situation on his hands – he had a big house with a nice big 2-car garage and it as just him and a new puppy there. I work with Gary, so I went over to his workstation and told him about the car, the blog, and then asked him if he would rent the garage to me for a bit while I restore the car. Without giving it much thought at all, he said YES.

Forget this. I mean, are you kidding me? Things were just falling into place at every turn. Gary is renting me the place for about $250 per month and to boot, if I need to stay over to get up early to work on the car I can. Now, I come from a place where if something is right – if it is meant to be, all will fall into place. I just need to have faith that it will – and I have. So what’s next? Getting the car up here.
