Default Cool Birthday Gift From Wife

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28004/jimmys_garage.jpg"></center><p>
As many of you know, I'm the proud owner of a somewhat new garage, complete with lift.

While I'm a paper pusher in the day, I've always loved working on cars. For whatever reason, I've had the desire to own my own garage, called "Jimmy's Garage". I'm in the process of forming a corporation (actually LLC) for my garage, and hope to take an ASE Certified Mechanic test this fall.

The wife just revealed to me this evening a surprise birthday present, a custom made neon Jimmy's Garage sign. I should have put a watch in the picture for scale (see more below on watch) but the sign is pretty big at 4 feet across. The sign designers told my wife they modeled it after an Audi, but I don't really see that. This is one of the coolest gifts I've ever received.

I did not know this was coming, so on a trip to Seattle over the weekend, I picked up what I thought would be my only birthday present, a nice watch for my 40th birthday. Wow, things are good!!<ul><li><a href="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/28004/rimg0143.jpg">Click for picture of lift</a></li></ul>

Default oh boy. you got 10 yrs on me. I am 30 this Sunday

I took advantage of this to purchase rims off a fellow member as my present. She said that she and my mom were conspiring on satellite radio for me but I chose rims instead.

happy birthday to you

Why are you here? You should be out there digging for gold to build a pedestal worthy of her.
