The 12-Gauge Garage

Over the years, Joe Rogan has talked a few times about my garage and my car. I don't add much to this page these days, but here's a clip that somehow got popular on Instagram. )I'll post a YouTube link here, though.)

Aside from the Rogan show, the footage was shot by Justin Evidon, Sean Fannin, and Josh Clason.

The Petersen Auto Museum paid a visit a little while back in order to make a clip about my garage and my 'car collection.' If you watch, you'll get to enjoy seeing just how uncomfortable I am on camera -- but there's more: you'll also get some glimpses of the camper and the sailboat floating goofily above my driveway.

Petrolicious made one of their earliest videos about my car back in 2013. They came back again more recently to do a video focusing more on my garage. It was initially behind their paywall, but today they set it free. The ridiculously-talented Sean Fannin shot this clip.

Then and now. One photo from 2012, and one from last week. I can see some differences -- but the place really hasn't changed much in the past eight years.

One of the surprising things is how few of the light bulbs have needed replacing.

I'm not sure how I missed this Carbuzz article from a year ago. Or why they mixed me in with this group. But here it is -- a bunch of super-deluxe ultra-garages, and then a much smaller one that has lights made out of cake-baking pans. :)

Happy New Year from the 12 Gauge Garage.

A flashback for a Friday. Eight years ago, over a million copies of Popular Mechanics went out with a short article about my garage in it. I still have a hard time getting my head around that.

This is a 44-second snippet from a new Petrolicious video about my shop. The clip itself is (or will be) behind their membership paywall. (I'd love to see them change their mind about that. But we'll see.)

For now, this is all I get to see.

The best quick clean-up ever, in that my daughter came out and -- without even asking -- picked up a broom and started sweeping. I was very happy to have the help.
