The Search for the Ultimate Mancave

The Knoxville News Sentinel profiles a mancave and its owner. They also coin the term Garage Mahal, an idea that we're fully backing. Here's one of the many quotes to salivate over.

The first thing that strikes a visitor to Robinson's lair is a shiny blue 1941 Willys Pro-Street hot rod parked just beyond the bar. Next to it is a 1965 Pontiac GTO and a 1966 Chevrolet El Camino. All three have been restored (the GTO on a rotisserie) and gleam in mint condition.

Naturally, the first question a visitor asks is, how did you get these in here? "I take them apart and then put them back together," Robinson answers before breaking in to a laugh. The real method is just around the corner: a $30,000 hydraulic car lift that descends from the otherwise normal looking two-car garage above.

It seems to me the owner of this masterpiece, Gordon Robinson, should have entered in our Mancave of the Month contest ages ago.

Rethink the Stripper Pole

Going into ManCave Goodies we didn't exactly think that stripper pole kits would be one of our top selling items. Of course, such poles offer a mancave many more opportunities for, how do you say, co-ed interactions. But what we're finding is that, in fact, stripper poles are also a great way to get into shape for ladies, instead of say, yoga or kick-boxing, which just might offer a sensual option, but the stripper pole offers something all of its own. It's definitely hotter than the Elliptical machine.

For instance, Kendra Wilkinson, when it comes to working out, is all about the idea that, "there’s no reason you can’t look hot while you’re getting sweaty." We're backing that. Check out the link above and for more about her stripper pole workout routine, and uh, maybe check out the accompanying photo gallery too.

Money quote:

"I’ve definitely hit the pole a time or two just for fun but wanted to learn the best ways to use it to get my body in smokin shape and look hottttt while doing it."

We've got your back on that Kyndra.
