Man cave waiting room

Most people go to Florida to go to beaches or Disney World. Mark and I go for flea markets and antique shows, auctions and quality time at mechanic shops. In January we spent 2 quality days in Deland getting transmission for Freedom 2. When we came back in February, the brake/steering thingy went out as we were driving to Mt. Dora. Mark had to pull over and put fluid in it just to make to Rennegers. We set up our booth and covered it up, ate supper, and went to bed early. The next morning we found a mechanic shop just 2 miles from the campground. That is where I found the man cave waiting room. Mark was talking to the nice mechanic while I looked around. The white walls were decorated with one 1956 car ad and a map of Mt Dora. On the back of a beige leather couch was a puzzle of an old mechanic shop framed. There was a locker with a race car uniform and red cap with #8 hanging on it. I saw a book shelf full of mechanic/car magazines and one of those half cups that said, South Carolina was so expensive that all I could afford was 1/2 cup of coffee. Boots were on the floor and jackets slung over a black stool. There were two huge beige lamps, one on a wicker table and the other a metal stand that looked like arrows. A God bless America poster with an eagle on it was leaning against the wall. Two desk style rolling chairs and one big beige leather recliner with a cardboard box as a side table. On it was two remote controls and an ash tray. On the floor beside it was a roll of paper towels. The focal point of the room was the largest, state of art, most expensive,wide screen T.V. I have ever seen. It was flanked on either side by a rusty fan and a power vac. On top of the huge T.V. was a VCR and speakers and a picture of a snarling bulldog, and an empty sprite can. On the very top, seeming quite out of place. was one of those bright yellow and neon green smiley face flowers with a long curly stem. Now, you can't find all this at Disney world.
