Let's see:
1990 25th Silver Anniversary Edition ascMcLaren 'Vert has 8,330 miles
1990 Final Car made, Azura Blue 1990 'Vert now with 3,370 miles
1993 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special with 5,680 Miles (A One Off !!)
2003 Lincoln Town Car Spring Special "The~Limited" at 10,003 miles
(1,131 were made)
2001 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4X4 "Final Edition" @ 69,777 miles
(Flawless condition... as new, honest !)
1986 Mercury Capri ascMcLaren Bubble-Back Coupe @ 701 miles.
All are garaged, x-cept the Jeep, that lives in the driveway,
along with our son's new car, which is a 2010 Lexus "IS"-250
in dark midnight "Granite Grey". He got it in May of 2010 and it now has 5,500 miles, in the year.
"Lexy" and "Jeepers" keep company in the driveway, while "Townee" and "Blew~Mac" reside in the garage. The rest of the gang live 3 miles away in secured storage with power overhead door, at a secluded place. in a all brick building, with a slate roof and concrete floors, walls & ceiling.
It's called " Car-Condo" and besides mine over there, I share it with 5 other collectors. We all have a remote control thingeee to automatically open / close the overhead door. Outdoors, we have our own parking area for our "arrival car".
Sadly, there is NO exterior lighting and it is an especially dark area, on a dead end street, and one really does NOT want to return there any later than dusk. Inside of Car Condo, we have a sink, a bathroom, a desk and tons of flulresant overhead lighting.
Security features are it is hard wired to the local fire dept & Police Dept. and has it's own interior sprinkler system.
There is no name on the building, nor any windows to break.
It is NOT heated ! The coldest that I have seen it get in there was 32 degrees, this when it was +5 outdoors. In the Summer, it is cool and comfy in there - between 65 and 70 when it's 85 outside.
It comfortably holds 9 cars, which is what is in there now.
We do NOT own the building ! We have a landlord.
While we have no A/C nor Heat, we do have a good dehumidifier.
There is a waiting list of 3 who want "in" !I do not see that happening.
We all do our part in keeping it clean and securred.
I found it on the Web, like 2 years ago, and I know the area, well.....and even so, I could not locate it. It is really super hidden, and black as coal mine after sunset.
Now ya know.

1979 Chevrolet Suburban 4 x 4 resides in a carport with a canoe, 2 grills, and wood for the fireplace, in back of the house. I was told this vehicle was in the movie, "Corvette Summer", but I never botherd to check. It has 418,000 miles on it. Had it since 1983. Now a rust bucket!
1986 McLaren Roadster, 22,000, resides in the garage.
Wife''s Ford Escape and my Expedition reside in a carport on the side of the house.
And just had my first oil and filter change on the Expedition. Also got tires rotated and balanced. Total cost was $19.00.
