gaspump in your house

[crazymcmichael]

Anyone has a vintage usa gas pump in his house? I was spotting recently one and i felt in love but my wife is anti gas station in our dining room
She thinks we look like a bunch of lunatics if we putt one in our house
anyone that got his wife so far to do so? i think it looks real cool actually

[crazymcmichael]

Anyone that can convince ms.michael that it is quite normal to have one :D?

Wow, you and I could be brothers. Any of my gas and oil memorabilia is destined for the garage. I almost picked up a 5ft vintage porcelain Texaco sign last weekend when we were in Dayton, wasn’t sure if it’d have fit in the car and was priced at $1,300.00. I still need a large piece for over the workbench.

I love the old gas pumps, what a great night light/conversation piece!

Best of luck trying to convince her!
Just for the record I vote yes on the gas pump!

The garage is forever evolving...

Sometimes better to ask for forgiveness than permission

Hey Tim, I had the same 8 track player in my room when I was a kid.

I recognized it but couldn't place it. I went through all the other technologies but always considered myself lucky that I didn't have to suffer through the kerchunk kerchunk of the old eight track players. That and how big the tapes themselves were.

My wife would give our second child (the one we never had) for a garage like that.

My oversized two-car one is overflowing with stuff. Between all those chain saws, trimmers, blowers, throwers and mowers there are about 20 small gas engines in there.

Here's the way my basement looks

I have a gem of a wife... I do... she only starts complaining when metal shavings make their way to the main floor.

When I saw that 2,500 sq feet basement I said: "We are buying!"

Chuck I always wanted that one as a kid, didn’t get it until I was about 40 though, still works great, takes 8 D batteries if you want it to be portable!

Hell yes, I think it's a great idea. Go for it.

p.s. Nice picture of the AVG P40 Hells Angels, Tim

I Am doing my best

[1st amg]

Nice set up Tim! Looks so inviting to work in!

[andyxxx]

Hey - I agree with your wife!!
It may look good in your garage though. It's something I have never considered but having just had a quick search, some of the really old ones look great - but what a price!

[breitlings]

there is a store in st michaels that sells them restored or picked. I think they are cool.

[tie219]

That's a really cool garage Tim. I think you guys are on to something with those gas pumps.

i will not show her this
I am unsure pricewise, i guess it is cheaper over there than here in the EU... Did you found a page somewhere where they sell them? they cost about 3/4k here in euro.

I guessed you were USA saying Gas instead of petrol?

Thanks brother, I’m working on two vintage porcelain signs, hopefully within the next month they’re going to be mine.
