Thread: Someone hit the Jackpot!

I mostly posted this, because I was amazed at all the great looking cars(granted under a pile of dust). What a collection. Doesn't matter how they came to be, just Wow! I figured it had to be a hoax, but the cars are a nice collection, despite this! Would be better than the lotto, but worse in that with most lotto winners, they are bankrupt in a year, with this collection to fix, I'd be bankrupt instantly, because it would be too hard to part with one of them!
I grew up working on those gulietta's. My Dad use to go to Italy once a year on buisness, and usually bought 5-10 used exotic Italian sports cars to be imported thru Texas, and then sold them from his home in Northern California. It was cool as a kid, because they were so different from everything we saw every day. Even better as a teenager, because we got to drive them every now and then!

Here's the scoop on snopes.

I agree it is an awesome collection; too awesome to just blow off. The owner opened it up to be photographed for whatever reason.
