Rip could easily put something like that together for $5k. Haven't you ever been to a Boeing surplus sale?

Boeing.. heh.. all I have is here Martin/Lockheed.. and I've never heard of a surplus sale...plus I'm a stone toss from their missle plant..lol I don't think I want that type of surplus.

I have no wife telling me when to stop spending money. I have the feeling that I may not be done yet :>)

Out of control with cars!!

The first sentence is all I need to know.

I wonder what his living room furniture and bedroom set look like. Kitchen is probably whatever came with the house. I'll bet he has only 1 bathroom and its really, really small.

My garage is filled with Tupperware boxes of books while the computer room is filled with 200 Barbie dolls. Got a nice living room set and bedroom set and the 2nd bathroom just got a new vanity.

Meanwhile, I bought a $30 canopy so I won't have to work on my 4Runner in the hot sun anymore.

Oh yeah, did I mention I'm married and all big ticket expenditures go before the House Appropriations Committee (of which it seems I'm but a junior member).

Hehe, yeah, and to think "my obsession" was for more space for my kids to play, and the wife to do her demonstrations for her business in....

I'd die for a garage like that! Not enough disposible income

Aww, poor Rip...I *almost* felt sorry for you, and maybe even a wee choked up....but it passed

You bastard.

I think there are a few Boeing people in this forum that can speak for the "Disneyland of Do-it-yourself" Boeing Surplus store.

(God knows Boeing wastes enough crap! Gotta get rid of it somewhere)

Let me put it this way, had I not had kids, I'd have plenty of disposible income!

Well, it shame's Rips on many levels...not the least of which are two Vipers and a Ferrari sitting inside of it!

But both garages are to CLEAN! IMO, it just ain't a garage unless there is an oil stain on the floor.

If oil stains and cobwebs are the criteria, then I have the greatest garage in the world!!

Ain't no way in h*** a car's gonna fit in my garage.
