    So I've got this crazy relative...

    Anyone ever heard of Madman Muntz? If so, you're dating yourself!

    A movie has recently been released about his life story. My wife and I went while it was in the area last weekend (not many showings yet, it's an indy) and it was really fascinating. He was a character and stories were told by Dick Clark and others. I guess even Clark Gable bought one of the cars he built in the early 50's. As the movie says, "Seven wives... Three fortunes... One of a kind!". I have to agree...

    Here's the car, and a reporter interviewing his son Jim (my Dad's cousin). His daughter, Tee Vee (no kidding, legal name) was there too. Bonus points if you can name the reporter.

    Nice car!! Very colorful relatives you have there Steve.

    Could the reporter be Mrs. Muntz??

    Could be, and is! She's the one who told me that the movie was going to be in town, and I'm glad she did! She was with some guy, can't remember his name, kept saying something about rather have a Jeep...

    Seb, my friend paid $109.7k for his VIPER KINGSNAKE

    Dude I see ferrarri's every week and a viper is just another car between a H2 , 740IL, escalade or other trendy over priced ride here. Give me a car that runs(besides a pacer) and I'm happy ;)

    Yeah, please! I did notice the Viper, that's why I used a slower shutter speed. Thought it was an interesting contrast. Had I known it was Trevor...
