It makes perfect sense...here's how. The hanger is owned by someone else, someone rich, as is everything in it including the db1. Maverick is either friends with or hired by the owner to keep his plane active and maintained. He uses the hanger as his space because the owner is probably not ever around. The girls car is a little excessive but she could have got a divorce settlement from the father of her daughter, maybe the sailboat was her father's and she grew up sailing with him. Not far fetched.

Hidden light 69 Impala is one of my favorites of all vehicle front ends.   Pictures of me as a two year old standing in the driver seat of a my parents (rather beat) convertible probably helped seed this appreciation. ... View more

My D21 does so many chores and has been bulletproof for me. All the gardeners where I live want to buy it every time I drive it!!! ... View more

As an owner of a 1988 Pontiac LeMans, I can relate to the confusion that people express when they see people like us care for these forgotten vehicular appliances. 1) 70 hp 2) GM product, Korean mfr, and Opel design 3) 300,000+ miles 4) It eats plastic window cranks like people go through shoes 5) Hagerty lists the highest sale price as $173,893, but I'd let mine go for half that 😉 6) Serious contender for worst follow-up to a classic name 7) Body is bolt compatible with SAAB 900 ...
