Thanks for the nice comments about the storage of the black car but in
reality in another life prior to this one I helped work on and maintain
the Fighter planes in the backround of the photos so I thought one day I
had to pose the car with the planes. It was the hanger at Cinema Air
where I was working while getting my pilots licence and we were known
for all the famous movies you all may have seen. While I worked there we
did  Rocketeer,Always, Forever Young, Lethal Weapon II and III. plus
before I was there they did some of the sequences of Top Gun and created
the helicopter for Blue Thunder and after the movie Bob Bondurant ended
up buying the engine and rotor blades for his chopper. This huge private
collection  included many WW2 fighters and Korean war jets and current
fighter jets and has now been donated and is part of Planes of fame in
Chino and the Grand Canyon airports new museum. We had a lot of fun with
this but I saw people lose their life for a movie or air race including
a friend who was flying the Nissan V-6 powered racing plane at Reno.
Sorry this is off topic and I will refrian from saying more.
