Yep, that place is just amazing! I wish I had that sort of 'disposable income' laying around.

It's been posted here once that I know of, though.

Damn, sorry I missed it.....

Does he finally have tools in there?

Even Ripley is having a hard time with that one. It is really incredable.

Okay, maybe it's just my prudish monetary sensibilities speaking, but I will never understand how someone can spend more money on a place to showcase a car than on the car itself. Maybe if there was a '71 Hemi 'Cuda Convertible on the turntable, but a Viper?

I must say that is a nice place but I would take many garages on this forum over that one. I would rather have a place I can work in and is functional instead of a place were you stand and just look at something. A lot of people with that kind of money really miss out on the most enjoyable thing, working on your car. I bet the only thing he knows how to turn is a steering wheel

He doesn't need to! He's got a turntable!

You said it right but spelled the last word wrong. It should be "palace" instead of place!!

Oh, like anyone on the board here has room to say "overkill" when talking about a garage!

No kidding!! I bet most of the garages here have been accused of that !

 

[beetroot72]

Is it possible to believe that with such a fine place to call a garage the owner doesn't know how to pull a wrench?

I'm just glad it's a Viper on that turntable... it makes me thing of a fun vehicle we had to deal with a while back in at work.

It was a late-model SUV with dynamic stability control, traction control, roll-over prevention system, etc, etc. Brand new.

It showed up with 312 miles on it, and 4 different trouble codes were set that would NOT clear. All of them related to the stability systems. Took us a while to figure out... we ended up pulling the connectors on all the modules, the yaw sensor, etc, disconnecting the battery, and letting it sit overnight.

Moral of the story: 8 hours spent at a car show spinning on a turn table will REALLY mess with a yaw sensor. The stability system was all kinds of screwed up.

So how do you overcome these issues when transporting or towing such vehicles?

 

[Elky]

the turntable isn't big enough..my hearse wouldn't fit on it!

Going around the occasional corner is a bit different from spinning the vehicle for 10 straight hours.
