Nice. As viper blue stated, we don't get much of the super $$$$ cars around here but we do get the muscle cars and redneck trucks!

Nothing like seeing that many fine cars in one location! The Aston is my favorite and as you said...the seat is super comfortable. Luckily I am 5 11" and fit in it fine! I have never been a Lambo fan, but would not kick it out of my garage either.

Why? Why? I love my Camaro and even if I chose it over any of the others, I would choose the most expensive, then sell it, buy a ZL1 and keep the change! Think man think!

the coolest part is I got to drive all of them around the parking lot except the Rolls, as it is being restored. The owners were some very cool older gentlemen that loved sharing their toys.
Did any of those cars owners bitch about you paring so close to their toys ?

I didn't park it, the shop people did.. and no, none of them bitched at least not to me, nor as I know to the installers, as there was plenty of space to swing the doors fully open and still walk between the vehicles.

Now was your Camaro polite and have good manners? Did he act like somebody? So his new acquaintances did not think he was some kind of redneck or something.

maybe some would, those of us living in reality like to look, don't ever want to own.

$10,000 for a brake job, $7,000 -$12,000 for clutch, $5,000 for a tune up..

gawd only knows the mark up for tires, wiper blades, or other general maintenance items.

No thanks.

If you have the disposible income for a 400,000 car...im sure you can afford the $10,000 for the carbon ceramic brakes

^^^^^ this is so far off base.
clutch is 5-6k MAX for lambo or ferrari
tune up is $800-1000 max
tires are the same they would be on a vette- amg benz- etc
ceramic brakes- usually don't need anything but pads- my 911 turbo S had ceramic brakes- had 60k when sold brakes were fine.
