Not to mention, they look pretty cool.
The polypropylene tiles are resistant to stains or damage from chemicals, petroleum products, grease, brake fluid and anti-freeze. They easily snap together and require no adhesives or tools.
And, let's face it, for many folk the garage is just as an important gathering place as the kitchen, so it should be just as functional and comfortable. Add a few bar stools on top of the tiles and turn any garage into a cozy yet functional oasis.
These tiles also serve to cover unsightly, cracked, stained or just plain boring floors. The flooring is available in red, blue, yellow, white, alloy, graphite and black and carries a 10-year limited warranty.
Retail prices are $300 for a 40-square-foot kit and $10 for individual 12-inch by 12-inch tiles. Go ahead, mix and match and have fun. For car enthusiasts, add a few Dodge, Ford, Mustang or Chevrolet tiles into the mix.

TALK TO ME IN AN EMERGENCY
The ability to think clearly is often another victim in an emergency situation. That's why a former Navy hospital corpsman who served in Vietnam created the Talking First Aid Kit.
At the touch of a button, recorded step-by-step treatments for a number of injuries and injury-specific problems are provided.
"We're giving you the best information that's available so that you can do it the right way," said Dave Hammond, co-creator (with his wife Linda) of Intelligent First Aid, based in Tinton Falls, N.J.
A large, plastic-laminated card (with the same information printed on it) contains a small device that allows you to stop, pause, go back to the previous sentence and repeat the verbal instructions. You are literally "talked through" the procedure.
There are cards on how to treat bites and stings, burns, shock, breathing problems and injuries to the head and spine, bones and eyes, as well as how to stop bleeding.
The medical supplies to treat each problem are also included. The kit comes in its own case and includes a guidebook with instructions on how to treat other problems like choking, heatstroke and asthma.
Also included are a book light to attach to the top of the case and a shoulder strap. Talking kits are $129. Intelligent First Aid also sells non-talking kits.
