Took a detour while in Tacoma for work. Place was super cool, with an awesome story behind it
Car pics too cool not to share

I won't blow this place up with 150 pics. I'll stick with the ones that are "different." Info cards should be readable so I don't have to type too much.
I met Harold LeMay and his wife, Nancy, about 25 or so years ago. He had invited our Rambler car club (Cascade Ramblers) and another club to a personal tour of his collection. He and Nancy even served us all lunch at his private residence. This was prior to the museum, obviously (as the museum was built after his passing). I have pictures somewhere that I should dig out. Anyways, he was an incredible gentleman with loads of fascinating stories and a wonderful sense of humor. He also bought a few cars from the club members, now that I think about it. Never been to the museum, though I plan to one of these days. The car world lost a good guy when he passed.
Great story , thanks for passing it on Squatch .
You're just mad your Mazda doesn't sound like that.
I posted this in another thread were we talked about that video.
About the car, The Subaru Brataroo 9500 Turbo
"The lightweight widebody machine utilizes a rallycross-derived, fire-spitting turbocharged 2.0-liter boxer engine. Built by technical partner Vermont SportsCar, the very pressurized four-cylinder delivers 670 horsepower, 680 lb-ft of torque and revs to more than 9,500 RPM, making the Brataroo the highest-revving Gymkhana car to date. Horsepower is channeled through the car’s all-wheel-drive system via a six-speed sequential SADEV gearbox and motorsport-grade differentials."

That's the kind of Subaru I'd be willing to put on a flannel skirt and work boots to drive.
Trying again. Let's see if the forum will let me upload.
Not "different" but one of my favorites:

Check out the ass on this Oldsmobile
The building was pretty cool, too. Looked like a boat hull.
I've long been fascinated with Lotus 7s and the like. Unbelievable how low these things are. Everything but the roll bar was no higher than my knees! Let your hand hang and you'd scrape your knuckles on the pavement.
I heard ZZtop looking at this
I know someone wants to see this Ford
