So I was going for a nice drive in my baby, and then I stopped at a shed near my house that I always wondered about. It is like as big as like an 84 Lumber store if you know what that is. It is big. I stopped there because there was a nice mustang outside on the stone driveway. I believed it to be a gt500, which is the only reason I stopped. I got closer and saw it was just a 2007 Mustang GT, but it had a body kit and some tasteful mods. I neglected to cap a pic, but here's the supercharged engine:

I asked the girl of age 19 who's car it was. She replied "It's my mom's" And as I said "Oh, it's a nice car," I looked to see if it was a manual, and as I noticed it was, she told me it was, as if I wouldn't be able to find that out. Then I repeated "Your mom has a nice car..." and the girl replied "Well the one inside is nicer!"
At this point I was like, well this mustang is pretty nice, what's nicer in that warehouse which was full of random equipment and supplies? I hardly expected her reply, "It's a Ford GT" I was like, "What!?" All this time there was a Ford GT less than 1 minute away on my street? So I asked if she would show me, and she did:

It was bought 6 weeks ago, and only driven from the trailer outside into it's current position in the garage. I met the owner, and I pictured him in a 1987 Ford F-250 diesel with rust holes in it. He was a real working man. I would never have guessed by looking/knowing him that he owned this car. He said he will drive it to a couple local car shows... I never expected to encounter a Ford GT on my refreshing neighborhood drive. (Or, on a side note, that faggot down the street and his 2003 Mustang GT that he drive's like a horse's ass everywhere)

Plenty of room to get an M42 in there.

You never know who has the real money. I once went to do some work on a building that was sitting empty when the company whose HQ it was closed up. The guy who shows up to meet me is driving a 92 Plymouth Voyageur. Dented, rusty, missing hubcaps - a real POS. The building has been sitting empty for a couple of years so I ask him who owns it. To my surprise he does. Now we are talking a $10 to $20 million corporate headquarters building. After a little more discussion it turns out this guy in the POS minivan and polyester slacks owns about $500 million dollars in investment property around the midwest.

I relocated to the South (U.S.) and I would be going through some pretty rough neighborhoods and see some pretty spectacular cars for the houses they were parked in front of. I guess it's just what you spend you money on. *shrugs*
