Maybe I'm just poor but I'd much rather have a *regularish* garage and drive/work on my cars all day instead of spending all the time/money on these show homes.

if someone is blowing 5 million just on a garage to suit his idiosyncrasies, I think its safe to assume he still has a lot of money for other things.

Who cares what his taste is and how he wants to spend it? He obviously is not a conventional guy - that's why he was able to build a valuable software company. Could you say that? At the end of the day, he stimulated the economy and created jobs.

his money, his vision. i don't see any reason to criticize what he built or what cars he likes. plus, he's not trying to force anything on us by saying his toys are the best in the world and that we just don't understand.

That garage is so awesome a lot of planning and thinking went into it, he deserves credit for that. But no even a vette or a cobra 427 in there

While that's all pretty neat, I fucking hate the fact that he's hoarding so many (duplicate) collectible motorcycles without ever riding them. There's racing cycles that haven't even been started? WTF.

Just buy one of each for fucks sake, let other people have the rest and actually enjoy riding them.

I don't see anything wasteful about that.

If you have ever collected anything (on a very serious level), you'd know to pick at least a pair of each item.

I used to collect stamps when I was little, and I always bought them in pairs.

The property is currently listed for sale (for $50 million), perhaps the cars have already been moved to a new location.

The fact is; none of us, or very few of us could ever afford anything like that so props to the guy for an awesome idea.
