I'd he happy with a garage that big!
Connie is definetly a self-made man, built an empire from scratch. I hope we always have guys like him on tour. He's racing because he loves it, period.
I used to love seeing Connie ride around in the pits on his ten year old beach bike. Bike, like with pedals. I can still picture him riding through the pits on his bike at Firebird, about 15 years ago, while eating a hot dog with mustard dripping down his chin. If you didn't know who he was, you'd have thought he was a bum who got lost at the race track. Guess that's what I like about Connie, he is who he is and doesn't put on any act for anyone.

Thanks Suz for posting. I was going to do it. Very cool. I almost didn't recognize Grandpa all spiffed up with his hair nicely combed! 
I've been in an MD80 & Lear 55 sim before but never for a 747. They are incredibly realistic.

I was fortunate enough to be able to fly the F-15 simulator at Tyndall AFB 2 years ago when my nephew was named commander of the 1st Fighter Squadron. Was really cool, but their graphics nedded updated 
The kids video games are much more advanced! bOb

Check out this little "puddle jumper airplane"..... it's a little too plain-jane for my liking though......

Very similar to the elaborate DC8 that Connie acquired through the justice department years ago from liquidating the assets of (I forget who it was) some wealthy King or drug lord somewhere..... the plane was incredible.... gold fixtures thruoughout, all custom furnishings.... I've seen photos of it when they took delivery of it at Willow Run. Connie immediatley gutted it, sold the interior components and converted it to a freghter.
