I believe I spy a Boat Anchor by the corner of the garage.

Had a neighbor at our first house, neighborhood of starter homes. Had 2 Ferraris in his garage, a 92 348 Spider [gated manual] and a 99 355 Spider F1.

Houses were in the lower 100k range in 2011 & upper 100k in 2018
Was pretty surprised to see those in there, with a Grand Cherokee & Santa Fe in the driveway.

My 13 year old likes cars and has for awhile, so I snap a picture if I see anything cool that I think he’d like. I thought I was taking a picture of a pair of Lamborghinis, but he pointed out the Lexus LC500 in the driveway next door and the car on the lift in the garage. He thinks it’s a Koenigsegg Agera RS, which apparently go for several million dollars.

A reclusive guy up the street from me built his house with an 8 stall garage. That's 16 doors. One in and out for each stall. I'd been so curious what he had in there. It was years before I spotted a door rolled up. Each stall had a car lift as far back as I could see. There were some very impressive classic muscle cars and what looked like a few super cars way back where it was too dark to see more than a silhouette. Mystery solved. I've only seen the guy outside a few times. Doesn't look like he's a conversationalist.

Definitely has some Agera lines to it.
After a Mecedes 300SL Gullwing, the Agera is my #2 FU money grail car

I could be wrong but it feels like there’s a body of water on the other side of those houses. That might splain it.

Probably a single guy with no kids. He probably enjoys them much more than a bigger house. It’s not like the place is a dump.

That garage door that is down looks like a mini door for a golf cart. Wouldn't it be a tight squeeze to get a full size car in there and up on a lift?

It is a nice house, but not on the water. The house is new as are most of the houses in that area. There’s at least five of the same houses on the street. Other than being a new area, there’s not anything special about it. It’s not near the beaches or a major theme park. It could be a $500k house.

I’m not passing judgment on anyone. I’m saying it’s a matter of priorities. I was behind a pimped out truck and admiring it. Then it turned into a low rent trailer park in the bad part of the city.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

In reading your post, I thought you 13 YO 'did' something, not that he spied something in the pic we were to identify.

Through the years I've seen some really odd car/home anomalies. Recently I saw a Lamborghini Huracan parked on the street, in front of a very middle class priced home. The home's garage door was stuck halfway open, you could see it was full of junk and trash. The car was on the street for several months. They also has a new customized Escalade parked out front.
About 20 years ago I saw a middle class home with a 50's gull wing Mercedes 300SL parked out front, along with some other 50's and 60's Mercedes. They were out there exposed to the elements for years. I was always appalled at seeing that 300SL just sitting there like an old junk car.

I live in a semi rural area of the panhandle and we go to church another 10 miles up the road where it’s nothing but cotton and peanut farms all the way to the AL border and somebody at church drives a lime green Bentley GT. Car is worth more than most the houses around here. There’s also a lambo I see around here quite often. I ain’t judging.

Maybe Divorced, she got the house on the water, he got his guns and cars



Touched up the image, the roof line on the racked car does look Koenigegg Ageraish hard to see.

Lambo in the garage appears to be missing it's front bumper/splitter, covered in dust so it's not run in quite a while and is also shifted to the side.

Maybe the guy picks up supercars that are totaled or water damaged and works on them, might be a Lambo sales person or exotic car dealer, plenty of them in south Florida.

Some of those lift racks are on wheels, you can roll them over with a car on them.

looking at this photo, the mirror shape & side scoop ahead of the rear wheel seem to match. I'd put a 90% shot at it being a Koenigsegg

When I was a younger (single) man living in a small town, the "ultimate" level of success was called "20-20-20". A $20,000 bass boat, a $20,000 truck to pull it, and a $20,000 doublewide to live in.

Yes, several of the family trees in that town looked like telephone poles.

I left there and married up (a young woman from another small town on the other side of the state). Her "standards" were "30-30-30". No more than 30 YO (with no kids), minimum $30,000 income, and 30 or more teeth.

We've been married 30+ years.

Years ago when I still lived in New Jersey I traveled around the state as part of my job. I used to go into some economically depressed city's a lot.

I always found it amazing that parts of towns I would work in, had a lot of run down homes, with a lot of people standing around doing nothing during the middle of the day, this was back in the 80s and 90s.

The one thing I did notice was the number of very expensive cars in the driveways of those run down homes.
