Wow! What a subject!

That Fiat sure looks bad! Sooooooooo bad, that the Aztek in comparison
looks like a show car.
But; what would I know! Yesterday, I was treated by some of my family as a birthday gift to go see the LAMAY car museum in Tacoma, WA.

Great rotating collection, in which I observed for only the 2nd time in my life with my own eyes, a real Ferrari Daytona!

The eyesore of the show for me was the greenish yellow '53 Plymouth!!!

On the positive side, was a Sunbeam Lemans fastback, etc...

If you are ever in the NW; check this place out!!

The biggest craving I was left with is that they have 3 racing simulator machines, with hydraulic struts, so you felt the G's, and turning angles just as if you were really in the car!!!

They can program the machine to set up 124 different world tracks!!!
Didn'thave the time to try at $8.00 per session; but it sure would be fun to have one of those in your man-cave!!!

Machine cost??? I asked: $65,000. !!!!!
