The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.

Currently visiting the Chip Connor collection at his private residence- Chip Connor easily has over $100MM in cars housed in a single two story garage (more like climate controlled museum/warehouse). Notable cars: 1938 Talbot Lago T150C, 1963 250 GTO in Ferrari red, 1959/60 Ferrari Testarossa, and a 2014 LaFerrari. Combined for those 4 alone? ~$85MM with the LaFerrari being the "most affordable" at $1.4MM.

Spotted yesterday: Adam Corolla at the Gooding Auction preview.
