Lots of toys in this thread on another forum.
Looking at some of the cars I realize there is a difference between Lamborghini owners and Ferrari owners......Can you say "Exotic Italian Rice?"

How about exotic fords??

A guy in my car club owns Performance Autosport he buys and sells emaculate mustangs and saleens.

Pic I took of one of his personal cars:

He also owns the SA-5 which is the prototype and only black SSC ever made. I wish I had pics of some of the cars I've seen pass through his shop.

1 of 6 '03 Saleen Cobra Hardtops
S351R
Speedvision/Tim Allen Racecar
"Regular" SSC
Liztik S-281
12,000mi coupe
Dozens of S-281's, XP-8's, 03-04 Lightnings
A fox Saleen Tim Allen drove on the tonight show w/ Jay Leno
4-eye Saleens, 85 and 86 (both owned by a guy in Italy!!) who stops by to drive them once in a while.

Not to mention the wicked cars his dyno pulls in.

Lemmie scrounge up some more pics.....

I wouldn't refuse any car, can always sell it, Wouldn't ever sell a Pantera if I got my hands on one though, which of course is an exotic Ford, Unless you don't want to call the Cobra a Ford either.

I was almost the owner of a Pantera.

My father got a settlement from the VA to the sum of around $100,000.. for a claim he had had against them since a few years after Vietnam. He was also placed on 100% disability, with the monthly pay that that entitled. He bought out his home and his land.. he bought out the van he got from my grandparents.. and then he started looking for a couple "toys". One of them was to be a Pantera, pref. blue. He had one lined up, but then he decided to go after a boat he also saw. He ended up with the boat. (and two others) He took me out in that boat to freak me out, because that boat was a death-ride. We broke it that day, and we ended up taking it down to some guy I knew who ran a boat shop and his shop favored Mercury engines. My father died on that trip, and I ended up inheriting the money and the home and the "toys", which happened to be that death-ride of a boat.. but it was almost a Pantera.

Frankly, the boat freaked me out.. I never took it out on the water.. and ended up having to sell it to some guy that would save the engine.
