Default Garage Improvement

Well with the Nismo in the garage, I needed to add a little something to the wall to spruce up that side of the garage.

So I did and found the car I wanted. After selling my soul to get the car, my GF looked at me the day the car was delivered and said "Now you have your wife and I am just the girlfriend". A couple of months later she left me after 15 years of being together.

4 years later I throught I met the girl of my dreams, someone who would accept a toy crazed guy. She lasted 16 months and tore my heart out. So here I am, toys and no women in my life. Just cant seem to find one that isnt intimidated by the toys.

More toys. With the love of my life standing in between.

In the photos of the garage, the Vector is sitting 4"off the ground, so it actually looks taller than it is, there is a low rise hoist under the Vector and you need a 4" platform to provide enough room for the hydraulic cylinder to gain leverage to lift a vehicle. In the spring I will pull both cars out and put them side by side so you can see how low the Vector really is compared to the Z.

This photo is of car 008 which is now in Japan. My car is the only other white Vector W8 produced. The difference is 008 has gold pearl in the clear coat, and my car has blue pearl in the clear coat. 008 has the old style mirrors and the heat vents on the rear deck lid of 008 are body color and mine are black.
