Let me know if you run out of room to store the 350z, C5 vette, or S2k. I can look after them for you....

My buddy pulled the 400 motor out of his 69 Pontiac GTO and is dropping in a built 455 this week.

As much as I want a garage that's larger than 2.5 cars, I realize that I would spend way too much money on the car hobby. A couple summers ago, when I was starting the transition to my current two cars, I had four vehicles for a short while - and I was the only driver. I was way too familiar with my mechanic and my insurance agent.

My 70 Cutlass CV, this is an old picture from the day I got it in 06'. Since then Ive had the whole suspension redone, freshed up engine (carb, new hoses, small stuff) Bonspeed polished wheel 20x10 & 19x8, grant 967 steering wheel, currently (as of 2 days ago) gutted the interior for a make over, after that, engine to be completely redone (next year) then finally paint. Talk about pocket drain!!!

Very nice muscle cars you guys have! Good to see that good taste in sedans also translate to good taste in weekend toys!

Nice cars........I have a fleet in my GT4 garage...lol
I'm not sure I like muscle/vintage car.....they seems to be headache to maintain!!
I currently have three car & its been keeping me busy. They all have different inspection/registration renewal date, insurance, and I can't just take care of them in one day!! Luckily I don't have to visit my mechanic that often since they are all relaible car........oil change & normal wears stuff only...........I can't image someone to own that many car if they don't work or own a shop..
