Walked thru a car show yesterday. Remember quite a few of them things. What I don't remember is the price tags!!! Cars that I owned for couple hundred bucks going for over 20,000 bucks

Here's one for you about car prices that really surprised me! I was in the Air Force stationed in Georgia and had this 1946 Mercury Sportsman wood sided Convertible. The dew at night was always very heavy. The wood kept rotting away and I kept it looking nice by filling in the spots with plastic wood. At a recent auction in California for pre and post war Ford and Mercury wood bodied station wagons, the top seller of the night was this convertible, like mine, which sold for $368,500.00.

Bah! I have a garage with two 20+ YO Taurus SHO's, and a 78 VW along with my '86 VR and my wifes '98 Honda scoot. Along with a valuable collection of old parts (want a tie down loop or the original airbox from an '89 Taurus?), and a pile of rags. There are a few old Craftsman tools also.

 

Mine is "lived in" and takes less time to clean up than it does to dust those places.

 

I pity those people, they will never know the joy of cleaning up drips from $2000 cars with kitty litter and an old broom. :rotfl:

Mine doesn't look bad on the outside, but the inside not quite that clean.

I could almost have a Meet & Eat inside....

Some of those are actual pictures, but I think most are screenshots from a recent game. Look closely, and you can see. Games like "Grid" and the Gran Turismo series look like real when you play them.

You did, we ate pizza in there to stay dry at the Skid In........

Awesome garages / cars. Man, one of those cars is probably more than our house :beer:

Not a patch on those fancy ones, but my happy place none the less.

It's too bad those folks with those fancy garages and all of the fancy cars, don't spread some of those cars around to those of use that don't have anything that nice. :hurts:
