[QUOTE="Fat Boss, post: 16093974, member: 122645"] Sometimes it's hard to tell if someone has made it, even if they're a car guy. My dad's friend has 100 or so antique cars with an avg value of about $150k. You would never know it. He still wears beat up old overalls. He bought a farm in Silicon Valley in the 1930's with the full intention of farming... His cream of the crop is a 1907 Thomas Flyer. They made three of them, and one of them won the 1908 GREAT RACE. He has one of the other 2. Nice car! I think my dad said he paid about $800k twenty years ago. Here's the car that won. If you're unfamiliar with the race, it's a fantastic story. They raced around the world in an era of no paved roads. [URL="https://www.historicvehicle.org/ny-paris-winning-1907-thomas-flyer-joins-historic-register/"]NY-to-Paris winning 1907 Thomas Flyer joins historic register - Historic Vehicle Association (HVA)[/URL] Personally I would get a Shelby 1000. I've seen (HEARD) a couple in person and they're so badass. [/QUOTE]
