Lemay Museum (America's Car Museum) in Tacoma WA

Hey guys, I hit the new Lemay Museum next to the Tacoma Dome on Monday and I wanted to share some of the photos that I took. It's definitely worth your time to check it out... a LOT of impressive metal in there.

$5 to park and $15 to get in the door.

I think I was conceived in an MGB-GT!

Wow, very cool...

interesting to see how much more technically inventive they were back then! Some really out of the box solutions in some of those vehicles. Now days everyone just uses basically the same parts bin list of parts thrown together in different sizes and configurations...

Might have to go there some time. Anyone Down for a get together?

Darren should have done a meet....what a selfish basturd...drooling over all the cars for himself...hahaha jk!

I know right. Lol what an ass

HEhe... no way, I was scouting out the meet for you guys! :) I get extra credit.

A meet up DEFINITELY needs to be organized here.

Agreed. When and where lol

Went here 2 weekends ago. Very impressive museum. Looks like a LOT of money went into development and construction.

Decided not to wait. The gf and I are going down there on Sat.

Is that a Ferarri V8 in a Rambler?!? :drool:
