The Virtual Car Collection
Let's be honest: we all spend way too much time online looking at cars for sale, right? It's irresistible. It's almost as if we're building a "virtual" car collection. And that's the whole idea behind this episode- pick some cars to suit a few different needs and see what it might cost to put them all in your garage. But an unlimited budget would make this easy- so keep it reasonable. You don't have to be rich to have fun with cars.BECOME A PATRON:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUBSCRIBE to Horsepower Heritage on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritageFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comINSTAGRAM: @horsepowerheritageHORSEPOWER HERITAGE is created, produced and hosted by Maurice Merrick.Get in touch with Maurice:https://horsepowerheritage.com/contactSupport the showHELP us grow the audience!
