AWESOME Garage art!!!

Well, as many of you know, I am a nerd for all things Jeep. The girlfriend was at a loss to find something for Christmas for me, when I stumbled on to a listing for some flags on Craigslist...

cool flag to hang in garage!

three feet wide by ten feet tall!

asking $30 for one! I do have three!

ask and ye shall receive!

 

 

So I asked for one, but when I saw them, had to get all three! These things are huge and super awesome! The CL pic does not do them justice, so I hung them up in my living room on my vaulted ceiling wall. My camera messed with the colors a bit, but they are really vibrant in person, not dulled out like they look.

 

I was standing on the countertop in order to take the picture:

 

 

Then I shuffled the GF in to show the hugeness of these things:

 

 

 

They are good quality too... They are quadruple sewn on all the edges, each color is its own sewn section... Tough flags for sure.

 

But, they won't see much of a harsh environment hanging in the garage!

One is mine, one has been claimed by a local member, and I just might keep the other one to have a matched set...

 

Sorry dudes!

does this mean you're putting in a 2 story garage?

I wish! The garage has roughly 9 foot ceilings, so I'll have to roll the top and bottom a bit, or hang it across sideways, but we'll make it work.

Hey Rob, what kind of bird do you have?

Hey Rob, what kind of bird do you have?

 

Good eye! I've always had some sort of pets growing up, birds were one of them. When I got my own place, I got my own bird! My bird is a Blue-split Parrotlet. Its the smallest hook bill capable of speech. Its like having a big parrot personality in the small package. I knew I wanted a parrot, but not a screamer (like my mom's Cockatoo :eek: ) Don't get me wrong, he screams, but being so little, its not ear piercing.

 

His name is Tank:

 

 

 

Trip to the vet (started plucking his feathers, turns out he was just emotional):

 

 

Fun little guy... He's picked up "Heeeeey Buuuuuddy", "Ba-by", he'll throw his wings up and yell "What!?", he laughs with a wind up... more of a "Haaaaa-ha-ha" with wing movement, imitates dripping water, whistles, chirps like a baby chick, caws like an eagle circling in the sky, and makes weird noises all the time. Little personality all his own. Like having a 3 year old.

Yeah, she's the one that puts up with the constant ebb and flow of Jeep through the house. Helps that she's not bad on the old eyes. She's got a horse, I've got a bunch of Jeeps. Both are money pits, but I can stop spending money on mine if I have to. My running joke. (You don't have to feed an MJ everyday)

 

 

But, unlike yourself, I haven't gotten her to perch up on to the MJ for a photo-op. :D

[JeepcoMJ]

but don't let Rob fool you...that flag is smaller than it looks next to her. she's tiny lol.

 

Rob, get a pool and paint it AMC colors, so she'll sunbathe next summer...I'll come check her ou...err..help you wrench any tiime, then!

[fiatslug87]

Tank looks like a cool little guy. My wife found a Cocatiel about three years ago in the neighbor's tree, she also picks due to emotional issues. Her name is Butters.

I go through the Excat same thing with my Girl. But shes into Milk Cows :shake: :rotf:

At least milk cows do something useful...

 

Horses don't do anything but waste animal food and crap.
