Well Crud. Nevermind, I just checked their websites and most recent catalogs and both seem to have dropped that stool. Cal Car Cover still has a Hot Rod Roadhouse sign, but no more stools, Tshirts, etc from that series...

I Just got my Roadhouse Grille "We Burn Rubber, not Burgers" Stool last week form www.bonspeed.com It was the cheapest online for $85...and very well built. The $35 Alltrade stools seem flimsy...I saw one sample falling apart at the auto store.

IF you must use the garage for a daily use vehicle in all weather conditions........HEAT, RAIN, SNOW.......it will allow water and crud from the bottom of the car to drip off on the floor and in time will cause the floor to lift around the edges of the tile. The HOT tires coming in in the summer will cause the tile to soften in spots and get stained that will be hard to remove ( clean & wax the floor often)

I love the look but for me I have to use the garage for other cars than the Prowler, Dart and imperial. I thought about doing 1/2 of the garage with tile or carpet, but then decided it would just not have the LONG TERM durability of an epoxy floor.

For anyone thinking about installing a floor covering in their garage needs to think of how the area will be used and what conditions they will indure.

Having worked with commercial grade floor tiles for years they are a high maintenance for the finish to remain like new. Go into any old building and look at the tile. Any imperfections in the floor will cause cracking or bubbles in the tile.

The epoxy floor is much more durable and if installed correctly it will last longer than the concrete it is attached to. It can be put down in a rainbow of colors and designs. It is more exspensive than a vinyl tile floor but the elements do not affect it. We take and wipe up spilled oil & gas (don't ask) with no damage to the coating. In the winter we mop the floor and it still looks like new.

I could have had a logo in the floor (he really wanted to do that) Could have had black and white checkerboard, but would have doubles the cost, so I went cheap and a single color with red, white and blue flake on gray (Imperial-white, red interior, Dart-white, Blue interior, Sue wanted yellow too for the Prowler but I said no)

I'm not trying to rain on anyones parade amd if you are happy with the floor you have that is great. Why I'm posting is to let the others that are thinking about doing their floor have something to think about when deciding on what floor material they want to use before spending the time, money and effort

I know it isn't worth anything but that is my 2 cents

CJ I just read on VCA about garage floors... A guy there had a year old concrete slab, put epoxy on it and now has spall pockets on the surface... He is in Santa Barbara, not high humidity or a lot of rain... Just a heads up with a new slab...

I take a power washer to it a couple of times a year, then put a matte sealer on it once every other year.
