The 36th annual Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach, the fourth race of the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series takes place this week, with festivities running from Wednesday to Sunday as cars of all shapes and sizes tear through the streets of downtown Long Beach.

The Long Beach Grand Prix, features auto racing stars including defending champion Dario Franchitti, Danica Patrick, three-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves and more.

As a former garage designer, many of my clients have asked for my opinion on how to best maximize the garage for storage purposes.

Okay... Here in Southern California it's winter, and unlike the rest of the country (save other desert areas southwest of the Rockies) we tend to funnel winter into about two months... with all the rain, snow, hail and other inclement weather activity we can handle.

What we store in our garages, and what we sometimes work with in the garage can often present hazards both obvious and subtle...

Hardware and tools now have their place along the slatwall system, while toys and longer term storage items are safely tucked [...]

The garage is a cluttered mess...

With Thanksgiving Day fast approaching, and myriad turkey recipes all over the place these days, one thing that goes almost unmentioned is the lack of storage most folks have in their home refrigerators or freezers.
