A friend in Indiana and his wife drove down to Texas to visit in a car he hasn't driven since 2003. His collection inclided three Vipers, three Prowlers, the #2 produced Callaway SSR, three Hurst Supercharged Challengers, a 2012 supercharged Summit White Nickey Camaro convertible, four Corvettes including 2 first generation cars and a C5 converted to look like a first gen that his wife used as a DD for a while. He also has some classic muscle GTO's, Superbirds, and once owned 1 of 4 known 1970 Hemi Cuda convertibles (I should have been in the cigarette outlet business like he was )

Another guy has muliple Vipers including one GTS-R, race only car sitting in his garage. A bunch of friends have Street Rods, 60's/70's Muscle cars. One of my cousins built record holding dragsters in the 60's and the whole family was into cars so I kind grew up around uncles with Nomads, Corvettes, 50's TBirds, etc.

I've always been the poorer, working guy that had to take out 60 months loan and drive my cool car as a daily driver. My 2011 Camaro SS convertible is the best performing car I've ever owned and I love the way it sounds and handles. Modding it over the last 9 months has been and will continue to be as much fun as I've ever had with a car even if others around me have more expensive or faster or more exotic ones.

If you friend in Indiana needs another friend I am available

I don't know whether you need new friends or not.

On one hand your friends have all kinds of cool shit (pardon the language) and on the other, there's absolutely no way to stand out with a collection like those guys have.

They live in New Castle - about an hour or so East of you. Next weekend they hosting a group of about 25 or so cars and going to Fairmount for the James Dean festival. Have you ever been to that?? Two large car shows within a few miles of each other each with hundreds of cars. Late Sept weather there is alway iffy but you know that if you live in central Indiana.

Yeah - there is no way I could ever keep up but most real car guys love to talk and shopw off their cars and most of these people are great to hang out with. I've actually had two people offer and let me drive one of their one cars to an out of state event - driving a Viper convertible from Alabama to Indiana and back was pretty awesome. (it cost me a lot drinks for the four day event )

Since some of you are mentioning bosses of wifes etc.

The CEO at my last job drove his red Ferrari California to work like 3 days out of the summer.

We're thinking that he does need a NicKey C7 Corvette : )

[BaylorCamaro]

Probably my ZL1. Back in college our car club had pretty ridiculous cars though.

[Rock36]

Mine, if I do say so myself.

[Neumatic]

My Grandmas 1972 Chevelle SS. Yes, my grandmas.

[Edzo]

My buddy's matching numbers SS. At least until he spun a bearing!
