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.
