So starting the day out with a walk through one of the best car garages that I’ve ever been in was a pretty amazing thing.   When I saw that the next stop was going to be at the Vel’s Parnelli Jones Racing headquarters, I knew it was going to stay good.  So after lingering at Dave’s garage for as long as I could, I finally made my way over to the Vel’s Parnelli Jones Racing building.  Once again the parking lot was filled with collector cars, but the real treasures where inside the building and upstairs.  There where old race cars that had been piloted by Al Unser & Mario Andretti and there was a Bronco that had been raced and won multiple Baja events.  Its hard to imagine a vehicle that could withstand multiple races down in Mexico…let alone one that could win the 1000 2 years in a row, and then the third year win the 500….that’s pretty impressive.   The vintage race cars where also incredible (speaking of vintage racing….Chris and I have some future plans along those lines) which sparked a little browsing online yesterday for some used Indy cars….THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!
Anyway, after spending about a half an hour at Vel’s Parnelli Jones, I headed to the last and final stop of the day, the private collection at Honda.  Inside they had samples of most of their historic landmark vehicles… as well as some legendary Honda Racing cars and motorcycles.  Now, I realize that we probably wouldn’t put an 1985 Accord in our personal collections but for Honda, we get it.  These are the cars that made Honda what they are today.   So have fun cruising the gallery…there are some pretty legendary vehicles in there.
