If I had the dinero it wouldn't be Detroit iron in my garage.

Let us try a Speedster Carrera or maybe a fornt engined mid 60's car with a prancing yellow horsey on the front that goes vrooom vrooom vroom on all 12 cylinders.

Looking at your signature I can only assume it would be to look at, not to drive.

What is the next thing that needs to be invented?

Why would you ever leave the house? Unless you had a track day.....

TK,

With that kind of money, the track is next to the garage!

you could always have it painted black, or maybe anodized

Denis, you would like my buddy Brett's cars.

two '70 Cutlasses, 455 SX that is the cleanest, most original old car I have ever ridden in, and a convertible that is pretty darn clean. The big block has one of those fiberglass hoods with the scoops you could stick a pizza box in, makes an impressive sound, I must say

Cool

My uncle still has his bronze/copper colored 1970 442 since new and no plans on selling, kids have dibbs.

His son borrowed it back in the early 90's and it was stolen in Brooklyn after spending the night at the girlfriends apartment. Dad was not too pleased about the news

Thieves enjoyed driving the car so much they forgot to change the plates and were caught. Only damage was the door lock, ignition and a ripped seat.

I would drive it all the time. I love American cars from the '60s. Some of them, at least.

Trust me, it comes in any color you want it. While its a bit small for Singpilot and myself, bet that for the right about of $$$$ we could be talked into flying it for you!

I'm not a huge muscle car enthusiast, but if I were to get one..I'd get a fastback 442!

With a chem lab like that, you could probably make all the dough you need for the remaining items on your list!

I don't see many rolling tool chests in those "garages".
