    One night last month, some car-guys got together in a barn to hang out and see a few cars. It is one hell of a collection, and all of the cars shown inside are owned by one guy.

    the guy who bought this truck brand-new was there to check things out. The new owner has no plans to change it.

    The garage is so packed with cars...it's impossible to get a shot of everything.

    Every nook and cranny had cars or parts stuffed into it, and the guy who owns them all is a very nice guy on top of that.

    Thanks for looking, and these were all shot on good-ol film by the way.

    The funny (not so much) thing is, I don't think he drives them, at least not much. He seemed to be doing 1/1 model building.

    Upstairs is a big empty room, the size of two full-size b-ball courts. He added it to the barn because he thought it would look better as a two-story building!
