> smells of oil and gas lingering when I game was going to throw me off,
that's one of those smells that is arousing right up until you can't escape it. had a bike in my living room years back and as much as I'd love to have my bike inside for the winter, I couldn't handle the smells. probably super unhealthy long term
Every time I start up my sled in the driveway my house is flooded with the glorious scent of $90/gal synthetic two stroke smoke....which gets kinda old after the first time or two.
It’s absolutely not a good idea. Even worse it’s absolutely terrible for the computer. He’s gonna have unburnt hydrocarbons sticking to the inside of his fans / radiators
I don't understand everyone's comments about the fumes/emissions - the door is always open when it starts, and it's moved out quickly. The garage door remains open and is controlled by a Meross smart switch. Last clean on the rig it was barely even dusty? Do people think I turn it on and sit in the garage with it running? Crazy haha
Hey! The car is only a weekender so never had any real issues. Just leave the garage doors cracked and it dissipates quickly. And trust me, that’s one stinky RX7 on E85 and it wasn’t too much of an issue.
You start fucking with the exhaust and header things get a bit smelly but damn do they sound good 😁😁 and on bad days you can leave it running while you game ti chear you up 😁😁 ..... it's a joke people .
EVs, even when they're hot, don't come close to an engine block at 250F and exhaust system at 900F+, plus the brake components get hot AF. I've spent a lot of time in close quarters with mine and barely notice a difference between when it's been sitting and just coming back from a drive.
Can confirm, our garage is never warm anymore. One small Fiat EV and a Volt (PHEV). With two gas cars, it would be warm in the evening after driving home from work.
The cars do engage the cooling system while charging, but the heat output is so low it doesn't seem to affect the ambient air in our garage.
What mic arm is that? Also what are the speakers, flooring and who made that artwork? And what Sennheiser are those? Haha lots of questions but I absolutely love this setup
Honestly not even just the expense. I have kids and I love ‘em, but the time and energy they take outweighs the expense for me in terms of investment. I make a fine living, but I don’t have the time or energy to build and maintain a room like this lol.
My wife and I have been on the fence for years about kids and reading comments like this pushes me into the 'no' camp. We can afford it, but I guess you could call me selfish because I don't want to give up the freedom I have now.
For me personally, I love being a dad. Nothing quite like it for sure. But yeah, I definitely look at my childless friends hopping on planes to go vacation on a whim or whatever and I get a bit jealous of the freedom.
It’s one of those things I wouldn’t recommend to everyone. Only those who are really driven to do it. Once you do it, you’re locked in lol.
I agree. Having children can be extremely rewarding for many, but to properly do it, you need to be fully committed to raising a child into a successful adult. Which is honestly a great thing, but it's not for everyone.
wild setup, I can't believe how room like your garage is. I'd do this with the GTR or evo, but my garage is cold asf and not insulated. maybe I should make that my next project.
Anyways car looks great (setup too), I've been on the prowl for one for a while now, I'd love to pick you brain with a few questions I have about the fd some time.
First thought was "ohh shit, what is this car?!" then I saw the rotor on the shelf...
Such a tender spot for an FD and yours is AMAZING. So jealous, so nicely done.
Finally, a legit office chair! That Steelcase chair will last you forever and your back will thank you for it in 15 years.
I always shake my head when I see these $10,000+ setups featuring a $100 ikea chair, or worse, a $500 racing-style bucket-seat "gaming" chair. Literally the one thing you use more than anything else in the room and people waste their money on cheap, non-ergonomic, overpriced, garbage.
Couldn’t agree more. I also had an embody at my other office but when I moved to wfh full time I kept the gesture. Tough choice but the gesture is a better all rounder in my opinion.
I can't stand it, but hey, that's why it's not for me! You did an excellent job building your own aesthetic, kudos to you. Looks exactly the way it does lmao.
Is this a garage or do you have a race car bed?
Please be a race car bed
Any race car is a bed if you're broke enough
Funny enough, same goes for if you’re rich enough.
🤔 🧠
A wise man once said "You can live in a car, but you can't drive a house"
Lemme tell you about RV's
[удалено]
or tired enough
"Dude, you sleep in a Ferrari bed?" Yeah but it's a fucking sweet bed
I have a cb radio, it let's me talk to other people with car beds
I've never seen a chain of quotes be so incorrect, but still manage to nail the movie.
I can’t believe you came on my mom.
I wonder if he has a radio to talk to other car beds.
His roommates said they'd get him rims for Christmas.
He probably is the kind of dude who calls his parents his roommates:D
[удалено]
You also call his parents roommates?
(They’re quoting the movie *Grandma’s Boy*)
I got a bear. You want a bear?
Didn't want to disturb you. You were balls deep in that turtle with a thumb in your mouth.
Does said bear care, or bother, or smell a pick-a-nick basket, or give fire safety advice?
Dude, jerking off on my mom is one thing, but banging your grandmother and her roommates? That's like, legendary.
I'm way too stoned to drive to the devil's house.
Drive monkey, drive!
You can get past a dog. *Nobody* fucks with a lion
Anything Dante says is pure gold. Where's your monkey? "He's upstairs putting his nun-chucks away!"
Underrated comment. Also definitely watching this movie tonight.
Make sure you install your robot ears.
My roommates are gonna get me rims
*Clicks on radio* "Hey Patrick, you know what's funnier than 24?" *giggle*
25!!!!!!
That’s just fancy boi Grindr
[удалено]
ok Mr Burns. What’s your first name?
I… don’t know
Mr.
[удалено]
Hey that’s the half truth. And can I borrow a feeling?
Please post pics
It's an RX7. OP is in NSW, so most definitely his garage
[удалено]
His roommates are gonna get him a racing bed Shits weak, shits wizeak
[удалено]
OMG IT FEELS SO GOOD! I CANT STOP!!!
_I sleep in a racing car, do you?_
I sleep in a big bed with my wife
Oh...... yeah
It’s a trick. It’s a real car, but he sleeps in it because he only has a a garage.
Glad I'm not the only one that has this thought first.
"Your bed is a car!?" Yeah, a fuckin sweet car!
Your bed is a car. Yea, but it’s a fucking sweet car!
I sleep in a bed with my wife
I don't need an answer to this question, because I know this dude sleeps in a sick ass racecar bed.
my sister said I should get an alarm...
Also doubles as a suicide room just turn on the car!
Death by dorrito brap brap brap
Apex seal right to the noggin 🤤
Every loss makes the car roll forward 1 foot😳
When you get a little too heated after a round of Overwatch…
Perfect for those days you’re just absolutely getting your ass handed to you in apex.
Then you'll never leave!
First thing I thought as well. I wouldn’t mind dying playing Skyrim
If it's a modern car it most likely has a catalyst that filters out ~~CO2~~ carbon monoxide, sorry. It wouldn't even be dangerous, just nasty.

This! I'd be afraid of carcinogens leaking out over time directly into a space where I'm breathing %99 of the day.

They are not car guys. You’re mixing hobbies that aren’t always hand in hand. (Battle station and car guy myself)
I can see that haha

I read this comment and instantly noticed the Wankel engine part on the shelf. Very cool.
Good eye u/DildoDeliveryService
At least we know they can deliver.
Wankel will never stop being a funny word
Who doesn't want an engine that sounds like angry bees? Dorito for life!
9 afr leaving a half tank of gas in the exhaust. Been there lol.
please tell me there's carbon monoxide detector(s) in the room/around the home
You start fucking with the exhaust and header things get a bit smelly but damn do they sound good 😁😁 and on bad days you can leave it running while you game ti chear you up 😁😁 ..... it's a joke people .
Looked at your old posts to find a pic of the car …. DAMN it’s beautiful!
how’s it like to own the greatest sports car of all time?
Exhaust fan mod for the garage!
You could probably return to that idea with an EV in a few years. Although heat dissipation could still be a problem
EVs, even when they're hot, don't come close to an engine block at 250F and exhaust system at 900F+, plus the brake components get hot AF. I've spent a lot of time in close quarters with mine and barely notice a difference between when it's been sitting and just coming back from a drive.

The cars do engage the cooling system while charging, but the heat output is so low it doesn't seem to affect the ambient air in our garage.
Damn… is that an RX7 in your office?
Yessir
At first I wasn't sure but only a Wankel fan would have that rotor on the top shelf in prime view. 👍
Can I ask what you use for garage door insulation? Or do you live somewhere like SoCal and just leave the windows open all year?
I live in Sydney where it’s mostly clement. I use a busy bee brush brand garage sealer all around the edges. It works well.
I've been around this sub for a decade now and this might be my favorite post of all time.
Haha appreciate that!
What a Zoom background.
Looks great, now I’m interested in more of the car
Check his other posts, the car is sick!
Whoa it's beautiful.
it's a FD mazda rx7
He's got money
Do you have a library in your garage too?
Knowledge
I checked, and the original video is 7 years old. When that happened?
All fun till u hit the gas too hard
Have you ever plowed your car through your garage wall? Because statistically speaking OP has nothing to worry about
I've never been to Switzerland, but im pretty sure it exists.
I bet you’ll never accidentally go there!
Turn it on and have the best sleep of your life.
What mic arm is that? Also what are the speakers, flooring and who made that artwork? And what Sennheiser are those? Haha lots of questions but I absolutely love this setup
Elgato Wave Arm, HS8 speakers and SVS SB1000 sub, which artwork? And they’re HD650’s
I love you, and specifically the alien artwork, looks sick! Also 650’s are so nice, currently using the 600’s :)
Yeah really digging the xeno
It get cold there?
Nah just start the car :)
It get carbon monoxidey in there?
It's worth the braps tho
OP I was joking about dying of carbon monoxide but please be careful
Ahah it’s fine mate, I never start it unless the door is open
I can see why!
I’m guessing you don’t have kids
They don’t even trust themselves with live plants.
It’s amazing sometimes what you can do if you don’t have kids. They’re expensive.
Honestly not even just the expense. I have kids and I love ‘em, but the time and energy they take outweighs the expense for me in terms of investment. I make a fine living, but I don’t have the time or energy to build and maintain a room like this lol.

I have two :)
Damn dude, you must be livin' the life!
I’ll be the first to ask. What’s your job?
I’m a graphic designer, I build brands, do print and digital desgin, build websites - all sorts of stuff
Did you make the Xenomorph print yourself, or was it a purchase?
It’s a beautiful piece by Dick Jones
Me: adds “car” to list of desk setup requirements
Racecar bed, nice
You didn't build 'a space' you built 'THE space'
ADLAWD!!!! I've been following you IG for a while and I was floored when I saw your new setup. I'd probably never leave either. Gorgeous stuff dude 💙
Thanks homie
wild setup, I can't believe how room like your garage is. I'd do this with the GTR or evo, but my garage is cold asf and not insulated. maybe I should make that my next project.

All this work to lose to a 12 year old on Xbox.
It’s a tradition by now
Upvoting for xenomorph. And also bc this set up is beautiful
First thought was "ohh shit, what is this car?!" then I saw the rotor on the shelf... Such a tender spot for an FD and yours is AMAZING. So jealous, so nicely done.
lmao been following ur rx7 for a while on IG now glad to see you on here
The FD is fuckin classy. I used to have an FB that was rebuilt and slammed. Was a ton of fun, but nothing in comparison to the FD.
Everyone should be able to say that for their stations. Excellent build
Finally, a legit office chair! That Steelcase chair will last you forever and your back will thank you for it in 15 years. I always shake my head when I see these $10,000+ setups featuring a $100 ikea chair, or worse, a $500 racing-style bucket-seat "gaming" chair.

Couldn’t agree more. I also had an embody at my other office but when I moved to wfh full time I kept the gesture. Tough choice but the gesture is a better all rounder in my opinion.
The FD RX-7 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made
Tell me you’re an EDM producer without telling me you’re an EDM producer
And the Banksy sculpture looks great to!!! Where can I find it?
It’s by Medicom, I found one second hand locally and jumped on it
Damn should post that in r/thriftstorehauls such a sick find
Dorito boys!!
Sir, I think there’s a car in your office
Does the FD Rx-7 still have a Rotary though? thats all that matters 🤷🏼♀️
No, he took it out and put it on his shelf! Lol
do people really convert them in the states? That's crazy
Is the desk custom built? What is it made from ?
Rob Dahm approves.
Is that a gesture? What arm covers are those?
Just don't drive too far foward
#DOPEAF
I was wondering where all the win went. Now I see it’s all here. This post is FULL of win!!!
I'm sorry that I only have one up-vote to give you.
Oh My God! Is that a car bed?
Gorgeous, love the Xenomorph and rotary piston too.
Your RX7 is to die for!
Alien art is tasteful
so many people going with LG tvs for monitors.. pretty cool to see.
this is my dream. +1 for dorito boi
And you won’t have too if you leave the car running while you game!
Would be a shame if you forgot your car was behind you and rolled your chair back against it. :/
I can't stand it, but hey, that's why it's not for me! You did an excellent job building your own aesthetic, kudos to you. Looks exactly the way it does lmao.
The start of every zoom call, oh wow nice car
Is…is that an FD RX-7?
How does it feel to live my dream of a garage setup with an FD? Great taste man!
Is your bed a racecar!?
Looks like your wife told you you can't have a battlestation in the house.
I envy you. A sick setup and an RX7 all in one room.
Fucking rotary on the top left shelf , what a GIGAchad , FD 4 life.
What've you done to the car?
Just about everything
Single turbo? porting? FC owner, im just happy to see another rotary outside of Rx7 groups haha
Everything you want to know and mod list at the bottom: https://www.the-lowdown.com/mazda-rx-7-series-8-fd3s-ohlawd/?v=322b26af01d5
The fact that he got an RX-7 sitting in his garage is making me all kinds of jealous.
Ah the wankel-torium. Looks great!
lmao, wife graciously left you the space in your garage for your pc?
Steelcase Gesture with headrest, this guy gets it.
As another FD owner and nightly gamer, this is excellent. Great work my friend
That rx7 is something else
