    I think it`s a bit of a stretch to equate hope and romance to those of us who love a detailed car. The feel good about your appearance/car`s appearance,feel good about yourself is a strong underlier in both though.

    I want to see Accumulators car collection ALMOST as bad as I want to see inside the Duragloss factory.

    Both are likely reminiscent of the detailing equivalent of the Willy Wonka factory!

    Bill, yeah, however when I chat with some of the younger enthusists, one of the things most mention is how their "hot car" is a flower of necture for the "hot girl".

    LOL!

    In my day, decades ago that was for sure.

    Even today, at my age, I get "hit on" by some older women when driving the Beast.

    They come up and use it ask questions, talk about what it was when they were young, etc.

    Heck, I`d settle for just seeing some of his past cars. Sounds like he`s had a pretty diverse collection over time.

    Assuming you really do want to see inside the DuraGloss factory....Eh, you`re about a year or so too late for any kind of big wow. I`m currently down to six, and the Jag`s still stashed at my mechanic`s place. So...well, an older Tahoe, three Audis, and a white Crown Vic "training device" aren`t exactly any great "collection".

    Bingo. At one time or another I`ve had some mighty cool stuff. Funny thing was how little I actually enjoyed some of those :think:



    Eh, different priorities these days...

    I`d love to see your shop! From the partial descriptions I`ve read over time, it really sounds like something any red blooded car guy would go ga-ga over! It`s part of your residence, but separate from the actual garage IIRC?

    You know, it really is funny how that works. Seems when I don`t own a vehicle and I`m just working on/driving it for someone else, I absolutely love it and have a blast. But when I actually own it, I get tired of it really quickly (case in point being the TBSS I owned for less than a year).



    Guess that`s why I always tell people I don`t really need my own toys as long as other people bring me their toys and pay me to play with them

    Yeah, while I`d do some things differently if I were building it today, it`s pretty nice. Most people would want to decorate it though, and I keep thinking I`ll get around to at least doing the walls of the office...maybe some day.

    Right. There`s a three-car that`s built into the house (it`s the original garage) and the shop`s attached to that via a double-gated breezeway, where the dogs often hang out.
