Default The Garage Wall...What would you do?

So... I have access to a printer at work that I can print large graphics for things like car wraps, giant posters, etc. I'm thinking about giving my garage a makover to make it a proper home to for the 911. I was thinking it may be cool to put a enormous graphic on the back wall of my garage. Kind of give it a 3-D effect and make my single car garage look bigger. I'm looking for some ideas. So...if you could put any print on the back wall of your garage, what would it be? My wife already vetoed the lady pictures Here are few examples I have attached for explanation purposes only of what I'm thinking about doing. Ideas???

I had to google lmao. I'm kind of laughing right now too. Good point, I may just do that. I figured a few bright minds around here may have a few good ideas.

how about a road with trees and maybe fading into the background some twisted section on roads as if the car just came from (or is head to) on a drive?

I like the LeMans shots too...

I'll have some good pics from Le Mans 2010 in a few weeks, guaranteed.

A shot of a team's pit would be a cool image.

The book "A Picture for Harold's Room" comes to mind.

That ladder should be nowhere close to the SL.

Find an old auto-parts supplier's calendar with some scantily-clad women; install (crooked) with thumb tacks. Garnish with phone numbers written and scratched in the drywall over time. Voila! Instant old-school!

I saw these at Barrett-Jackson. They look great in person, but pricey:

Awesome...I love ivangene's idea. I have a brother in Germany who's handy with a camera...what about an autobahn pic that starts at the end of my garage or a twisty road?

Ed Hughes...I would love some Le Mans pics.

Danny_Ocean...those are ridiculously cool banners. Nice find...will give me some great ideas.

Also...Ice Man...Fees Paid

I don't care which one you use. The idea is great. How about an old junk yard. With some half dressed sexy but greasy woman with a wrench in her hand.
