Well, if it says it is underneath a garage, the logical conclusion would be that you park cars in a garage, thus a car would be parked above his head.

In Austin, Texas (where I live) its actually somewhat rare to find someone who parks their car in their garage. I would estimate that 90% of people park in their driveway (or on the street in front of their house when they have more than 2 cars).

I know one friend who's parents park in their garage and that's because his dad designed the house to actually fit something bigger than a Honda (he drives a Chevy full-size pickup).

Other than that, everyone I've met usually falls in the 90%.
This ratio hold up in the Central, North, Northwest and West areas of Austin (haven't really been around the rest of it), as well as Round Rock and Pflugerville.

The garage in my house is a storage area for crap, my nitro RC car, our power tools, and random junk.
 
In Michigan, the weather sucks, so most people like to put their cars in the garage, especially for those 20in snow storms. Lucky Texans. :) (well, besides your random softball sized hail, lol)

The weather here is wierd now. Hurricane Katrina only made it worse. Our winter now starts in december/january and lasts till like march (thats roughly how it was last year).
I don't know if its global warming or something else....

In 2006 I was able to go outside in shorts because it was like 70ish degrees outside.
Its 76 right now according to one of the local news stations.
Oy.... It'll be months till I can grow my Jolokia peppers.....

I'm actually in California. House was built in the late 50s. This was my first encounter with knob and tube. But that is not the worst of this house. 200+ feet of orangeburg pipe was the biggest nightmare.

Hate that stuff, my brother has the ole Cast iron. We replaced it already with PVC. I work wireless here in southern Missouri and constantly see houses that are a hundred years or older. Seen square nails, old wood planks from packing crates for slats, and stone foundations. I am impressed that you undermined the house and supported the garage, the frame work is pretty stout too.

I have the same Compaq laptop. It's specs are on the low side but I got it for $350 on clearance at Best Buy a year ago and I love it. Its actually well built for a Compaq and can do anything I want it to besides heavy gaming.
 
Since I've been having a pretty good year, I decided to upgrade my workstation.

Although similar spec to the one its replacing, man is this one fast!

Specs:
Dual 5450 Xeons @ 3GHz 1333 FSB
8G kingston ECC DDR2
SuperMicro X7DWA mobo
Radeon 4870 512M video
ASUS Xonar D2 sound
4x 1T Seagate in RAID10 w/ 3Ware 9650 controller
LG "SuperMultiBlue" optical
Epson R1900 photoprinter

work08-4.jpg



But the really fun part is what I attached to that Xonar:
PS Audio Digital Link III Digital to Analog converter
PS Audio Trio-A100 Power Amplifier (300W/ch@4ohms)
and a pair of Onix Mini Stratas

I like it but my DVI input works intermittently.

@ SC385 - I like it a lot actually as a modem/bring to school laptop.
@ Lames - It's an LP3065c.

Thats actually what mine does. I thought it was my video cards and RMAed them to XFX and they torture testedthem for a solid 48 hours and they never failed. Mine will work during boot up but once it loads into windows and gets the higher res *No Input*. Oh well, its only a secondary monitor now.
 
Update:

Just got a new dual monitor mount this week. Let me know whatcha think...
