A messy garage is a working garage. Those nice ones you see posted here are just expensive carports.

Nice 57 T'bird! My dad used to have one with a 312 CI V8. He talks about that car to this day.

Man thats crazy...what a beautiful ride

Thank you for all of your nice comments.
1. It is not exactly a small house. It is 2400 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. No waiting. However, my dream house is a 2 bedroom A-frame with an 8 car attached garage.

2. We are not giving the Pantera away, no matter how much any of you deserve it. The car was bought for my wife. It is hers, as is the BMW. The M roadster is basically a limited production, high performance version of a Z3. The performance is comparable to a stock C5. She likes sports cars.

Clearly, a very nice colletion! A two bedroom A-frame with an eight car garage would be awesome!
