I expect that he has a serious collection somewhere, and it just hasn't been moved to that house yet. He did say they designed the garage to protect millions of dollars worth of cars. Or maybe he didn't want his collection displayed on TV, and moved them for the shoot.

You can bet those Snap On tools were for his mechanic. It's not a garage if there isn't grease spots everywhere.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. He's the new owner of the home, not the original.

Here's a shot of the garage while in previous ownership:

My guess is that he just happened to like them, or think they were neat (for whatever strange reason), and he has enough money to tell everyone who thinks those cars are 'beneath him', to go gently caress off.

Huh, the guy in the first video says he designed the garage.

EDIT: Hmm, it's not explicitly stated, but the narrator says "Tom created..." and it seems implied to me.

So when your engine is running hot, do you...

A: Pull over and let it cool down (or at least turn on the heater)
B: Nail it and stay in the left lane doing 47 MPH as your trans temp gauge almost pegs, your engine temp gauge pegs, and your ECU throws your dumbass into limp mode, while complaining about the lack of power and the engine overheating and HOLY poo poo A DODGE PASSED ME AND DODGE IS INFERIOR I MUST PASS HIM

Goddamn people are stupid. But then again, this guy's in Kerrville, which is nothing but meth anyway. :catdrugs:

Jebus, that towing video. The moron is just off the scale.

Right at the end he is talking about being at just 300 lbs. short of max gross weight. I'd bet money that he didn't include the weight of fluids and his stupid rear end in his calculations, so he might have been even over max gross while he remained parked in the left lane crying about his slow truck while he systematically tried to break it.

Would serve him right if the thing just blew up and his dealer used the video as justification for denying warranty.

Did I mention that stretch of I-10 has an 80 mph limit (70 for trucks)? He even points out the "truck" limit doesn't apply to him (it may not if you're driving a regular pickup, pretty sure it does when you're pulling a trailer larger than your truck)

Last time I was on that stretch of road pretty much everybody did 90 except for loaded trucks, and if you didn't keep your granny rear end in the right lane you were liable to (rightfully) get run off the road by IV8.

you spin me right round baby right round.
So the GTD has just pushed pass 60k miles and thus out of warranty, my mileage has decreased significantly due to a change of office (so now need less diesel, more fun), I'd rather renew VW finance on a new car rather than pay out monthly on an out of warranty car... and the only way to get them to agree to that is by spending more.

I started googling Sirocco R's.

I'm not sure why I haven't seen it yet in this thread, but perhaps I missed it. Narrated video of some guys buying and destroying the world's nastiest Ford Taurus, formerly showcased in the stupid poo poo thread.

It's slow (because it's chock full of other people's footage) but it suffers impressive damage. I don't want to spoil it, but they may not know how to load a trailer.

Terrible music choice. It looks like it just mounts to the wheels, cradling the tire sidewall, with rollers transferring power from the bottom and a hub thing securing it firmly to the wheel.
