Just a Little bit?? His cars are probably valued at more than what some people make in their entire lifetime. It should be a crime to have that much money. Oh yeah, he's not too materialistic is he??LOL..Just kidding.

The only thing on that list that I would take would be the F250 4x4.

How can I make a link to post the "sports car collection". I already have a homepage, but it only allows me to post 1 picture on there. Anyone got any ideas???

Sorry, but I ran outta film while takin pictures so i couldn't get these cars:

2001 Ford Lightning SVT
2002 Ford F-250 4x4
2001 Toyota Tacoma 4x4

My Uncle has like 4 different "Barns".... "Sports Barn", "Car Barn", "Main Barn", and "Truck Barn". These trucks were all in the "Truck Barn" up at his ranch, so we never got a chance to go over there and take pics.

SiLvErSpEeD_02 -

Could your aunt and uncle adopt me?

I'm nice, polite, I clean up after myself, and I'll be happy to to drive his collection every so often to keep them in running order. There's no way he can drive all those cars and still have time to do whatever it is he does to earn the bucks to have them...so I'll be happy to help him out and keep 'em going.

Just trying to help.

k

haha.. I've tried asking him that already, but it didn't work. But every month he goes up to his ranch and drives them around and then switches cars and drives a different one to work. So I guess that's how he keeps them all running. But it sure would be nice to be the "car maintenance guy" haha

Sounds like you should be making some more trips to your aunt and uncle's house.

Hey JP, I live in your area and have seen you driving around in your silver F150. You pulled up to me on the railroad tracks and tried to race but there wasn't room. you were saying something like...

i fly like a .....sting like a b...........somethin.....my name is JP........

Don't you also have a four wheeler you ride around on? I have seen you in Somerville riding on motorcycles. I saw you got 4.10 gears ? How are they? I think you have to break them in for like 500 miles.
see ya around

So you have our New England micro-brews up there in Ontario too?

You don't mean Molson, right? I used to like the XXX but now I'd rather have a lager, porter, pale ale, or a stout brewed in New Hampshire or Vermont. There are even a few good beers brewed right in my back yard (not literally).

Hey SiLvErSpEeD_02, if your uncle needs to get rid of thoes old, outdated dinosaures from the 20th century, I could probably make room for a Viper, Boxster and a Corvette.
