wow, I could see having 5-10, but 79. Really? I would rather branch out to other makes, models, etc. Just another place for cars to sit and gather dust.

This is pointless? So they try to collect every production color their is? Coz I can't think of enough special vipers put there that would amount to 79 cars

I can think of many ways that I would rather spend a few million than buying dozens of Vipers. Maybe they're stockpiling them for some reason?

And for those that don't bother to read linked articles ... it says that they only started in 2006. That means they've been averaging 8 Vipers a year for a decade (assuming they don't sell any). Thats a decent build rate for any car collection, let alone for a single model.

So, how much that? Six million dollars worth of Vipers?

What a fool - he could have spent the money becoming bionic.

All real car enthusiasts are a little nuts...par for the course as far as I can tell.

So what, they have the money and like Vipers. Good for them. I can think of far worse ways to burn through money. I'm sure people think we are crazy for owning even one Camaro. There are better ways to spend 57k then a ZL1.
