If you haven't heard of the Motorator, (Car Collector by GQ) check out the interviews of car collectors he does in their warehouses and garages, astonishing. Here's Jeff Dunham and Bill Goldberg



in which the incredible Jeff Dunham demonstrates how to open a McLaren, as it has no switch, door handle, or soft pad... very cool. He also explains the Mopar musclecar era fender tag screws. Seriously, I'd never learned this thing he shows, before this. How far out is it to be schooled on Mopar trivia during a celeb garage tour?





I've posted about Bill Goldberg's car collection before, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search?q=goldberg  but this is the first video I've seen of the cars in his garage. He brought the lawman to SEMA! http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/lawman-boss-429-mustang-that-al.html

So, my compliments to GQ and the Motorator, they are doing a terrific series of videos on car collections in Southern California, and the Clive Cussler collection in Colorado http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/07/tim-allens-car-collection-from-new-gq.html
