So this weekend I went to a party up in the Phoenix area, and when I walked up to the garage, I was confronted with an amazing garage full of vehicles. These are just a few of the pictures I took.

Why the fuck is the owner not driving these? For God's sake, man, at least cover the cars or something.

Enclosed Garage, with the exception of the TR7 and TR8 (and the BiTurbo's, which is kind of expected), all are in running order.

OMG is that Fisher Price in it's factory original color?! If it is, it's probably worth thousands (of pennies)!

The Maserati Coupe and the M100 Elan get driven, the Stag seemed to be a bit of a project/hobby, and the 308 runs (sounded beautiful) but hadn't been driven in a while. The guy loved his cars, but life has kept him busy (he works/worked as a mechanic).

I like how all the cars have the tops down/off and windows open so that the dust can get inside the cars too.

To whoever drew in the dust on my Ferrari, I will cut off your finger if I find out who it was.

Wow is that a 2002 Fisher Price Cozy Coupe? Those are great cars man. I had a 1992 model myself. Left it out if the garage one night and it got stolen. Used the insurance payout (crying) to upgrade to a huffy green machine for Christmas. Three wheels good.

Well, to be fair, the TR7, TR8 (tops up, windows up) and the BiTurbo's (just tops, but he's been working on them) aren't running, whereas the rest of the vehicles are. I probably caught him at the end of his long season, I'm envious of anyone with 8 exotic open top vehicles, though I don't envy the cleaning which awaits.

please let the owner know that i will gladly clean the 308 for free. just have him send it to my home in Los Angeles. it will take approximately 3-6 months.

remember, no charge - it's on me.

thank you kindly...

Also, I had never seen an FZR before in person. It's a 400, and it looked like the exterior was great shape.

I debated a similar offer. Something along the lines of "I will clean and periodically test the road-worthiness of any of these vehicles if you like. Completely free of charge." =)

Ah, that's something. Why so dusty, though?

I get the feeling that one of the bays is open semi-regularly as a primary entrance when they are home, and that, being AZ, dust is somewhat unavoidable (and Phoenix is becoming legendary for its dust storms).

I felt like it would be poor form to ask about the dust. For what it's worth the Maserati Coupe and the Stag were not dusty, and it looked like the M100 was more dirty from use than from being ignored (dirt road stretches to reach the residence).

Makes sense. I retract my wrath.

I live on a gravel driveway and my car is impossible to keep clean; I can only imagine the filth that would accumulate if I lived on a dirt road.

I had only read about them. I'm really not much of a motorcycle guy, but the FZR's are like a legend depending on when you grew up.
