This garage beats all of ours, even though it has no tools or workbenches.

It belongs to a certain actor who was in the Die Hard movies

The LA municipal airport hangars...alot of them are used as garages for celebs. Nick Cage's was next door and full of exotic sportscars. Tom Cruise's was around the corner and much bigger..with alot of cars, a couple helos, and a jet.

(btw, I know this is a repost, but what the hell)





the white vette had like 1000 original miles on it, IIRC...



we took these two out for a drive...not quite as exotic

yeah, though the 2-doors went with the Bel Air badging

I don't recall what year it is, but it's mint and all original except added air conditioning (this is in LA, after all) and sound system. Had tons of power but damn did it handle like a boat, lol...

late edit: I forgot it also has alot of engine work done...but Dave didn't have many details.

we got 100x as many looks driving the bel air as we did driving the 911 convertible. Porsches are a dime a dozen in LA...

yeah, you're right. I'd rather have a garage full of tools and a 3rd gen than all that garbage

easy..by having someone else wok on them. He's too busy hanging with Ashton and his ex to worry about working on the cars

lol, actually my uncle is the "caretaker" of the cars (among other things). So he spends a few hours a week arranging for expert shops to restore, fix, or maintain the cars.

Willis has like 20 other cars...some muscles, some SUVs, and some sedans. Most of the SUVs stay at his "main" home in Idaho, and a couple others at his house in LA. Nothing super-flashy (not like Jay Leno). From what I hear, he rarely drives any of them. Very occasionally. I think most of the time when he drives he drives a 7-series BMW...and it's not even brand-new, lol. I think his kids even drive pretty "normal" cars....3-series IIRC.

This is mosly secondhand information though from my uncle so my memory might be hazy.
