Default Impromtu Car Show Yesterday (Pics)

Yesterday, I attended a cookout at the home of a local friend. This guy just finished building a massive 3000 + square foot garage and was giving us a tour. As a result, an impromptu car show emerged. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics, but I didn't bring my camera.

This picture is just the garage!

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can provide for some nice toys. Looks like a great way to spend a day.

Just to clarify, all those cars don't belong to the owner of the garage, many of them belong to guests.

I believe the orange and silver custom low riders are his as well as the C2 Corvette and a couple of the other classic cars.

The C5 convertible is mine and the 69 (?) Camaro and C6 were guests. The Ferrari and Porsche were also guests.

I agree that money can't buy happiness, however it sure can rent it!

He has an amazing working garage complete with lifts and other major tools. His hobby is custom automotive work so he's always got a few projects going on.

I can't take credit for it. He had a pro photographer shoot it and I simply saved it. He has an entire build thread on the other forum mentioned earlier.

He owns a series of trailer parks in Florida. The tenants own the double wides but he owns the land underneath and charges rent/management fees. $$$

To MSG C5:

The Camaro pictured is a '68. Easy way to tell is that both '67s and '68s have the round wheel wells, but '68s don't have wing windows. The '69 body style was actually quite different with flat-topped wheel wells.

I had a '69 and always wished that it had been either of the two previous years!!
