You like what I found? On the way back from the Detroit Auto Show on our way down and around to Wisocnsin, all of our bloggers were preparing ourselves for Gary, Indiana by plugging our noses, when one of us saw a blue building with some cars around it. Thinking it was just another lot filled with eighties Oldsmobiles, we were pretty surprised when we got closer and we saw a rusty White Rolls-Royce, a Maserati Biturbo, a DMC and many other not-quite-yet classic exotic cars. We barely avoided going on the toll road, enraging a Hummer driver by veering to the regular highway at the last instant. We took the first exit possible, turning back the other way and getting off at the exit at the Bass Pro Shop. We took Ameriplex Drive all the way to the end, by which point it was closer to a dirt path than a road, and there it was. It looks like somebody had hauled out unwanted (we have no clue if they were legitimately traded) exotic cars from Chicago to hoard on a lot ten miles East of Gary. There was a Bentley, at least one Rolls-Royce, a Maserati Biturbo, a boatload of BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes, a couple Porsches including a remarkably clean '76 911, a Delorean DMC-12, an out-of place 300ZX and MG Midget, and a random '70 or so Buick sedan. With all these exotics outside the building, it makes you wonder what's inside.You can see most of the cars below. Make sure you don't weep...
