um no, thats my shed. My garage however is the tent thing. Its actually perfect for new england because my car doesnt thaw out every night yet its protected from the elements. And my doghouse is also next to my shed and the wood next to it is the spare wood from a project that I was working on. (not g35 related.)

It looks so so, i like it but I dont. The tires are to bulky for my taste and I wish I could of gone a bit smaller but its winter after all. The whole package was pretty cheap so for the money I think it came out nice. Heres some pics.

dude your new rims look so much better than the ones you had before. and gosh those 18s look good too. what series tires do you have on it?

Hey, what is the make and model of the "garage" canopy thing? Has it withstood new england snowfall before? I was thinking of getting one instead of a cover because I recently moved and dont have a garage anymore, but I'm kind of afraid of it collapsing under the weight of a good snowfall overnight.

Nice rims and tires, wish my winter set up could be as beautiful!

What's the stats on your Dunlop M3 tires? Those wheel widths are pretty wide for a winter setup since most winters for you aren't mild.
