    Question Anyone in the mood for some wild speculation?

    So I drive past this house a couple of times a week just running errands. There are always about 5-8 cars parked out in the large circular driveway, always the SAME cars. An M3, a newer Audi sedan, a Range Rover, some pickup, and a couple of others I don't bother looking at closely. Then the Viper.

    So today I was thinking, WTF does he have in the garage that is bumping the Viper out to the driveway?!?!?

    This is a HUGE house. So I wouldn't be surprised if it had a 6-10 car garage. Yet there still isn't room in it for the Viper?!?!


    So in your opinion, what could be so important/valuable that it bumps the Viper out of the garage?

    Maybe he wants everyone to see it?

    If ya got money for a viper and a 6-10 car garage, chances are little things wouldn't bother you to fix and you won't have the car forever, because you would just buy another.

    My guess, 60's Shelby cobra.

    Can you SEE a garage? Maybe it only has a small garage. With the coin that sits outside based on your description sounds like he could be house & car poor without enough room to park them all under roof.

    That was my first thought. I am fortunate to have a three car garage, and it contains three cars. I joke that many people have their $30,000 car outside so they can store $300 of junk inside.

    Yep. I know people who let their new cars sit outside because the garage is full of worthless crap. I cannot understand that.

    I'm vigilant about not allowing junk in the garage. Last winter I had 7 vehicles inside our 4 bay garage. I double stacked my Mustang in the lift bay over my wife's car then parked 2 motorcycles between the 3 cars in the main garage. We have 4 adults living here so garage space is at a premium.

    From wikipedia:

    With the 794,428th and final car, production of the car ended on November 11, 2008

    In the United States, there are few Yugos left in service
    That makes them rare, and thus collectable, no?

    viper is probably broken down there and he is fed up with it and not interested in spending any more money on it.

    That could be how he paid for the house. We're talking 4000+ sq feet on what looks like an acre or two.

    I know of a detached garage with four double doors across the front (so an eight car garage) with an attic and it is packed full of trash like half my two car is.
