cars worth more than your house?

[Heep]

I'm in a suburb of Barrie. I'm going to Georgian college here, and every year they put on the largest outdoor car show in North America. The students get put on teams by manufacturer and run the show. I'm on the Porsche team!! (no Ferrari team ) Anyway, it's sept. 21-23...anyone within a reasonable distance should come out! I'll let you sit in the Porsches........

BTW...I had a sweet sighting day last Sunday. I was going down to Mississauga to meet some extended family. First, in Barrie, I saw a red Viper GTS (almost hit the guy too...you know how you naturally drive the way you're looking...you know the story). Then, on the 400 going south, I looked over and saw a yellow 360 Modena blowing the doors off a black S2000. Then, driving around Miss. with my Aunt, I saw a red 360 Modena in one guy's driveway (took a pic, will have it up soon), a yellow 355 Spyder that drove past us, and finally my very first ever Lambo Countach (took a pic of that as well)! So, needless to say, I had a good day last Sunday

wow, that's a sweet sightings day...
i usually see a Ferrari on the way to Toronto too... since the Ferrari of Ontario dealership is in Missisauga

[Porsche]

Tell me more about this Porsche thing, I'm a reasonable distance away.

The students are separated into teams by manufacturer. The students put on the car show. I'm on the Porsche team, along with 4 or 5 others. We will have new Porsches on display there. Also....this is NOT final, so don't get your hopes up...but we may have a race car driver in giving people rides. Come to the show!! If anything just to meet me

[Heep]

OK the race car driver will be here giving drives on Sunday, the 23rd. We might have a 911 GT1 there as well. I get to ride around the block in one or more of the cars!

Again.....where EXACTLY is this?
Im not THAT far.....

[Heep]

Barrie, about an hour north of Toronto, take the 401 to the 400, then once you get to Barrie, exit at Ducksworth/Georgian Drive. Right there at the college, you can't miss it. Today was the first day of the show, I have talked that much in a day in my life! Chamoised all the Porsches several times since in rained off and on, and sat in them a whole bunch

Also, went for a ride in a new Boxster S yesterday...that was fun

My home and place of part time occupation (a United Artists cinema) is close to the "ghetto" part of town. Out of this part of town always you can see such vehicles as : Lotus Esprit (80s), Lexus SC430, Mercedes, BMWs, and a couple of Porsches....The Lexus is most recent.....the homes back there can be better described as shacks, because I actually watched one fall down during a storm!!! But the cars parked next to these shacks are amazing!! I know for a fact its drugs In fact, usually, I go home smelling like pot from all the potheads that come in to the late nite showings!

there isn't a car in my town worth more than my house. my house is worth 300k+, and the nicest car in town is some guys diablo.

[gang$tarr]

i think our 4 cars put together will only equal like 10% the price of our house, LOL

[snorlaxtowncar]

same here, gang$tarr!
although I would not mind evening it out a bit with, say, 20 lamborghinis!


there are some pretty cool cars in my neighborhood, a ferrari F50, a few porsche turbos (one older), an aston martin of some kind, a new sl500, and a cl600. my fave is the cl600- so cool!
