You can call it Mini Corral. Under cabinet idea things like race equipment/tire storage would be interesting. Tool boxes, etc.

This seems like the appropriate place for this. In another thread you said:
Also, is there a hit counter for the garage? I didn't notice one. -
Interesting suggestions.
There is no hit counter on the Garage at this time, possibly in the 1.2 version we are currently working on. Possible a comments area as well.
On the test site I have for M/A I mocked up 2 versions of your idea.
What worries me is the space consumed expcially for people visiting the site on a smaller laptop or mobile device.
Please take a look at these and comment.

Maybe just show one random garage and have it over in the left column? (Such as, below the "main menu" and above the "recent threads"?) With how frequently forum pages are changed/refreshed, I would think the random garage would change enough on the left to not need to see 4 of them every time.
-
Along the left would be cool. Perhaps on every forum page, maybe not in threads.
-
This will take some experimentation as I'll need to play with the code to be able to have it in there twice. once for the home page and again for the left side on the interior pages.
-
Ok, that was a easier than I thought....
How do we like this version.
-
That looks pretty sweet. Chalk this (idea of random garage photos on main forum page) up as the second sweeping change I brought to MA, next to the 'number of threads displayed under a forum heading.'
-
OK, change made to live site.
-
Very cool, I like that you even called it "Random Garage".
-
I saw my garage in the random spot for the first time.
Behold!
I know it is random and everyone has probably seen it or their cars before, but I thought this was cool. -
Garage has just been updated to the latest version. That Random Garage Block has been changed to Garage of the Day and every day it will pick a new random Garage that will display there for 24 hours.
-
Curious as to why it was changed like that. It could be months before my garage is seen again.
-
We also added the function to hide Garages that lack a main image. Check out how much nicer the Browse functions are now.
Along with those new functions the ability for the admin staff to edit or delete a Garage has been added. For this site it will allow me to clean and standardize the search results some. We've had a lot of similar entries for the same things. Chile Red will be edited to Chili Red and things like that.
All these new items came from member suggestions on this site and those of our clients. We like to know what you want and try and implement these ideas. So please keep the suggestions coming.
