If you haven't seen this yet, it's worth a few minutes to watch The Video. A man in Lakeville, MN (2 hours from me), had died.. 69 years old, not married, not kids or family left his house and contents to his church. when the church went to look at the house, you'll be amazed at what this guy collected... It's well worth the watch! http://www.usatoday.com/media/cinematic/video/82069900/ |

Very cool. It would be great if the new owner keeps and expands on the collection and makes it public for people to be able to see it. I loved the notes he took, he totally had a passion for his cars. Amazing.
