Default Dilemma

Had to jockey cars around to get the Jeep up on the lift for an oil change. Which of the 3 toys should be last in for easy access next time?

Yeah, life is tough but somebody’s gotta do it!

No brainer. Left goes in first, right goes next leaving the center last for easy access.

Storing the C2 in my garage would really ease your problem.

I was gonna say sell the mustang then I zoomed in. I’d keep that Aston near the door.

have to agree with Jack cut those trees up and back from your roof. I’d hate to see you lose a beautiful home.

What's the long term weather forecast? If it's for hot temperatures the "new" Corvette. If for moderate temperatures the "old" Corvette with the roof down.
I really don't see much of a dilemma either way.

Ahh, champagne problems ... the best kind to have. Gotta leave easy access to the C2. After that, eh, whatever you feel like.

No problem! Throw out the dining room table, put in a ramp, and put the oldest one in there.
The wife will love the new centerpiece.

Thanks guys! Trust me, I have been thru that thought process and deliberation. The perspective in the picture is somewhat misleading. The trees are mature costal redwoods and have been trimmed up and back to the extent possible without damage. I’m not gonna remove them and not sure it could even be done without damage to the building in any case.

Thanks! I’m kinda proud of that - designed and laid it out myself. At my age I hired out the labor tho - my back could not have done it!

LOL. Thanks, but no. She’s #2, an angel, a sweetheart, and the only woman I’ve ever known who likes cars almost as much as I do- but there are limits! At my age I can’t afford to cut my net worth in half again!

Yup! My favorite color in cars!

Bottom line: The Aston went up on the lift, the 67 in 2nd, and the 06 near the door. It has AC, the 67 doesn’t, and next trip is out thru the Central Valley to Merced to see my daughter and family. 100*+
