    Default Cars from my job...

    Most I have driven. Some I have not. Each are notated as such. The links wouldn't work for a direct photo posting from Imgur so each link is a separate album.

    Rolls Royce Ghost. I was privileged to drive this one. Granted it was all of maybe 10mph in the parking lot from the service drive to the service bay (as most of my driving of these are, which is a separate building about 300ft driving distance from our reception bay) but that is more than most can say about this car. Opinion: Felt exactly like driving my truck because it is a heavy beast (weighs almost the same) but a smoother suspension. Floated so very nicely for those 300ft...

    2006 (I think--too lazy to look it up) Ferrari F430. Manual gearbox for this one is rare. This car is one of the only 3 in the US because it is the last year Ferrari even offered the manual (vs the F1) as even an option. The owner of this one is the guy who created VinSolutions. Was privileged to drive this one.

    Rolls Royce Wraith

    Don't know whose this was. Didn't get to drive it as the customer wasn't here for service. Not even sure what he was here for. Either way, this is a sighting that most will never see anywhere in their lifetime, let alone here in MN... except maybe Miami or southern CA.

    2012 McLaren MP4-12C

    We have this one for sale. I haven't driven it. I do want to but before I do, I want my coworker to take me for a ride in it so I can feel what a car like this should feel like when driven how intended. Then I want to try myself. Sadly winter came faster than the time to get me out in it. If it is still available by spring (post snow), you can damn well be assured a ride is in order and a video of the whole thing.

    The 69 Chevelle

    This one has my heart. Really. I grew up on American Muscle and by God, this is what still gets my heart to skip a beat when I hear them. I appreciate Euro exotics and luxury more than before but my heart will always be in our old-school (and new versions) of Detroit muscle. I have gotten to move this one around a bit but I don't even need to drive it to get all gooey... I just need to hear and chug and smell the distinct exhaust smell of what I grew up with.

    ...more on the way when I can find all the pics in my phone and upload them...

    I Love that Chevelle! It is favorite car of all time.

    However, I always thought the black rally stripes and trim looked a
    bit better.
    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    What type of dealership do you work at that sells such a diversity and Fiats too? I mean nobody trades a classic modified Chevelle in on a Fiat 500.

    The engine bay shot in the second picture is a not the Chevy but a Cobra, with a Ford 427 FE engine. I have a 390 FE in my classic so am very familiar with it.

    Damn, you're right. I uploaded the wrong photo to the album. I have a photo of the Chevelle's engine but I guess due to color similarities, it got mixed up.

    We get stuff off auctions, we do get exotic trades, and also do consignment.
