@Ozzie_Isaac I am confident in generally knowing where you live.  I also suspect your wife (who hired you) works in the high dollar real estate business.  But dang-you likely could toss garage teasers every day given your sightings on the local roads.

Rubbing it in is a worthy weekend hobby-

Be well and all above in good fun!

These photos are from the Salt Lake City area today (not my normal haunts).  Was a great day to check out some beautiful houses, get some great ideas, and see some cool cars & garage setups.

I would drop that in the “show room” category @Ozzie_Isaac. That house gets my vote

You interviewing around these parts again?  Does your new boss know?

I am in love with this garage!!  Saw this today while looking at homes.

It’s funny but it kind of looks a little like mine:

Visiting some clients who have become good friends.  We keep kicking around the idea of expanding into these parts.  Absolutely beautiful this time of year.  They are trying to get us here and we are trying to get them back to AZ! 🤣

Never have I found a Thule box so pleasing.

Does it make sense to have the bronco on a lift if you can’t park anything under it?

The Audi would fit under the Bronco without the XCargo and a little light lube.

He had an R8 under the Bronco, but recently sold it.  Hasn't replaced it with anything yet.

A fantastic episode if anyone has been following the P1 build:

Tavarish is the best kind of crazy.

I'm sure he is partially sponsored with the body kit but that kit alone is probably 2-300K+. I love that he's not going stock with it. Perfect opportunity since it will always carry a marked title. Cool to hear him say that he wants it to become the world's fastest McLaren.

Spotted this and then climbed into the back seat for two laps around the Indy Motor Speedway road course.  (Only day a year you can do the road course). 

You are strapped in extremely tight. Quick trip but have a much higher appreciation for the drivers at that level and the physical beating you experience on a near continuous basis.

Very cool, Frank!

All I can think when reading your text and viewing the photo is “what back seat?” Quite the experience, I imagine. I feel like Depends should probably be standard issue for passengers on such adventures.

Hard to get good photo with the parking arraignment, but I really like the matte black.

You need your eyes checked, Ozzie? Isn’t that grey? If not, it’s me that needs my eyes checked.

You are correct, I described it as the wrong shade of achromatic gray.  It is not black.

@Ozzie_Isaac - points for the North American gr"A"y spelling and not the Eurroean gr"E"y version.

I saw one in the wild @Ozzie_Isaac, I couldn’t get into it, looked like primer. My nephew really liked it though.

I always have liked primered cars with different colored doors, so that may be why I like this so much.

There was a matte copper/salmon Mercedes in the same parking garage, but didn't stop for a photo.

I don't want to speak on behalf of everyone but thank you!

My Dad's buddy picked up a 2023 BMW 5 series in Artic Race Blue Metallic with blacked out trim and wheels. The color is absolutely stunning in person with the black accents. The color is hard to show in pictures but BMW absolutely nailed it out of the park in my opinion. I'm not sure how it would look with chrome accents but with black it's perfect!

Nice car! I’ve been trying to talk swmbo into upgrading her 3 series but she’s perfect content and hell bent on investing for some ridiculous reason.

I was in Vancouver BC a couple weeks ago. There is some serious money driving around that town. We saw multiple G Wagons, Lambos, AMG Sedans, Rolls, Lexus, BMW, Benz, Bentley, Etc. We rolled past the Lambo dealer and they actually had cars on the floor.

Was there on Feb (stuck four extra days due to uncharacteristic storms) and that was my experience too. Lots of sweet rides, but none photographed, I don’t think. Hope you also got to eye some of the incredible real estate. As you probably know, lots of significant foreign money floating around those parts!

@GrateEggspectations - I remember a Netflix program from 2019 with Seth Rogan and David Chang called "Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner".  Enjoyed the program but the last place they stopped looked incredible - Hong Kong BBQ Master (4651 No. 3 Road, Richmond), the Hong Kong-style BBQ pork and crispy roasted pork looked amazing. BTW, you have a message. Does mobile not show Notifications?
