Default What to do with those extra millions





This is just one of dozens of cars featured at the upcoming auctions. Oh so-many-wonderful-sports-cars-and-sports-racers fromt the 50s and 60s. Still, its crazy, crazy money. When is the bottom going to drop out on these? I choice this one to show because I love it! But I love any sports car from that period that had fenders shaped liked a baby's butt. Round, smooth, and hopefully no crap on it.

The Aston Martin DB5 featured in Goldfinger is going to auction. What a great car and it comes with machine guns and the other gimmicks at 007's disposal. I hope they left the passenger ejection seat in it. I would love to use it after some nagging complaints of slow down and where are you going.

Thanks, Dave. Those extra millions I have lying around have been worrying me no end.

I saw the first Porsche is up for sale. Expected price is $20M.

Most of those vehicles are not for me - not interested. I can find a nicely restored mid-60's 'Vette (64-67) for a realistic price.

My dream car is a 66 Chevy C10 Longbed with automatic and factory A/C. They're out there, and I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one if I can find one decently restored for under $30k.

Grew up with one and I miss it.

I like new cars better. Still waiting for my AMG Project1 but, but, but!!!
then there is the upcoming Murray T.50.

I can get both for less than 5 mil.

seriously though, I am kicking myself for not getting on the Taycan waiting list last year.

You probably can't ski behind it but I bet you can catch some fish off the aft deck.
