    I do not take the tours through my kitchen. I have not been in my kitchen in over 6 months. I can't imagine how dusty it is in there....

    That’s funny, your garage is cleaner than my house and we try to keep our house clean. Honestly my brain was racing the way it was any more and I might’ve melted down.

    Very nice, Mark! Do you have to be a weightlifter to pick it up?

    It isn't very heavy, maybe 20 pounds?

    @Sharpone pretty cool, huh? I had the pleasure to visit about 3 years ago. Everything you say is true, such cool and unique items, displayed well, with good stories about everything. Sensory overload doesn't allow the brain to really take it all in. I felt like the dog in the movie "Up".... squirrel. Your head really has to be on a swivel.

    But the icing on the cake is the host. Understatement to say that Mark is generous and gracious. Ex. Back at home, I had one issue of a little known magazine from 1958 titled "Cars and Clubs", "the Midwest's own Hotrod Magazine". I mentioned that to Mark when I saw the title on his rack of cool magazines. I was quite surprised to see another issue. I now have 3 issues of this Mag as Mark had duplicates and sent me home with 2 more! Too cool man! Then as we exit the 3 car living room, he hooks me and my buddy up with vintage Roth-branded Testor's paint bottles. Yep, too cool!

    Cool doesn’t even begin to describe the whole experience! The sum is greater than the parts and any one part is cool in and of it self. Like I said it’s a must bucket list item for any car guy or gal.

    Do you suppose Mark would donate that Hurst shifter display to me?................
    Yeah, I didn't think so.

    So does the tour exit through a gift shop where a guy can get a tee shirt or shift knob?

    @Bandit Billy how many smashed Pennies do you want? Mark when I was a kid the adults told us that putting a penny on the rail would derail the train, did you get same story?
    Maybe need to make a die (Mark’s Place) and stamp them in a hydraulic press give them away at end of tour.
