Or you could have bought the old pillsbury mansion.

Anyone know what this pedestal is for? Telescope? Rifle? Heliograph system for talking to friends on distant mountain peaks?Quote:

That's a dang nice house. Much better than most of the monstrosities posted in this thread.Quote:

Spectacular site but way too visible for me or most folks, you can see the place from miles away from most directions. You have to have some ego to build your place on a site like that.
This is up the road from here, they were asking about $20MM a year or so ago but I guess they didn't get it. https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...9-21664#photo7

Yes, late 60s probably Cosworth pre ground effects Indy car, like Graham Hill's 66 winner below. But, what's significant is the number one. Usually the previous year's USAC champion carried that number all year, so, this was driven by a winner, but I dont think it won Indy.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...064c7662c4.jpgQuote:

Probably still has the coke in it.

That body looks like a Lotus 25. The offset might just be parallax, but if it isn't, it's probably a replica setup for ovals.

She is a very engaging writer, for sure.
I’ve never been in that house, but I lived in Dupage County for twenty five years. My next door neighbor was in the “salvage business” and his house was suspiciously similar.Quote:

Holy shit, that's awful. The decorator needs to be brought to justice for crimes against humanity. I hate every single lighting fixture in that house except the mirror ball in the garage...should have added a few more.Quote:

That house would have been a nightmare to live in.
HOWEVER…it was an amazing place to be when you were high.
A herd of animals lived in this home. Or one that was extremely poor trained. You pickQuote:

Hey, we're putting the house on the market, get the cars off the lawn so we can take some pics. Just park 'em in the back yard until the photos are done.
Attachment 397780
based on the empty room through the green carpeted room next to the bedroom, I'm guessing some aggressive sex dungeon action necessitating tile.Quote:
