The Present

I get asked every week, where do I keep
all my cars. The answer had always been in my garage, driveway, street, side RV
storage, and a US storage facility. This year, I widened my driveway to
accept four (4) cars. Then I built an enclosed garage on the side of my
house where my RV area is. But I still had cars in the street, and in a
storage facility. And here is why I have the best mom in the world.
She has always helped me, when ever I needed or wanted anything. Well here
is the latest good deed. She has built me an eight (8) car garage.
She had new cement put down, and this new garage done. I will be filling
it in the next few weeks as we get the cars ready to be garaged. Then we
can rotate the cars out, and drive them on a weekly or semi-weekly basis.
Thanks MOM!!

So there we were in
January of 07, wondering what all our cars would look if we had our own Pontiac
Show. So we loaded up the family, and went to the local mall for the line
up. It took us all day, but was the first time we had all the cars out.
Enjoy. And stand by for more, we are up to 14 cars right now, as of June 08.
