The Garage Slab Magazine
I was recently introduced to a great publication which goes by the name, The Garage Slab. This magazine is all about the American Garage. Unfortunately the website doesn’t give the full articles but I would encourage you to visit the site for more info The Garage Slab. If you want a FREE copy come into Ohio Power Tool there are a limited number of copies on the counter.
Some of the Topics you may be interested in from the Last Issue: Famous Garages (includes garage from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Visit to the Good Guys Car Show, Shameful Garages pictures, Garage Design: Thinking in Height & Dimension, Show us Your Slab (reader pics), The Motor Lounge (look at a nice lounge/garage that houses a 1956 Bel Air), Perched on Lake Erie (a garage move & restoration story), That’s One Heck of a Beer Bill (Garage Brewery), Sweet Home Chicago, Under the Hood (look at a Lamborghini Murcielago), Pluggin it In (selecting the right size extension cord for Power Tools), Loud & Out of Control (Raiders of the Lost Garage Sale), The Desert Slab (military garages in Iraq & Afghanistan) and much more!
(directly from the magazine) The Slab’s History Lesson… Our story begins with our founder and garage proprietor, Pete Foster, upon learning that his wife, Caren, was having a baby shower for their third child. Tearing down the old, rickety shed in the back of his house, Pete constructed a monument to man’s storage. Not wanting to be outdone, our hero developed a “garage” shower for the “baby” he had just built from the slab up.
What came next was pure brilliance. A newsletter dedicated to the American Garage. With contributions from some friends, the interest grew and illustrious hero gathered his fellow garage enthusiasts and decided on something just a wee bit bigger. Thus our current version of The Garage Slab was born and brought to all of America and the world to celebrate our fascination with the versatility, often futility, of the garage. A moment of silence, please.
