I asked the lady if they have 356 mats and she said if they didn’t he probably had a set made special for his 356.  

This makes me want to swing by a lot and see if other cars are parked in his spot.  

You should! 

I was at a Lemons of Love fundraiser a few weeks ago at the Throttlestop-- just outside of Road America.  David McNeil arrived in some sort of 365 Carrera 2, which I guess was one of two made!    He has all kinds of tasty machinery in his stable.....

If I have time at lunch, I'll check tomorrow. Literally less than 2 miles on the same road as my office.

That guy collects buildings faster than most companies.  I remember their small place in Downers Grove.

" MacNeil has built a business with more than 1,100 employees and $500 million in annual sales "

That's a lot of floor mats!!

Nope. He still holds the record.

250 GTO went for 40.something million.

That's a 4 million dollar buyer's fee to the auction house, plus whatever the sellers fee is.

Please understand, I have nothing against the guy or his company or what he does with his money.  I'm just kind of amazed.

I'm with you.

It surprises every time I look for parts online just how many sets of these things I see for sale used. I would never pay that kind of money for a floor mat.

They push their all-American products,  yadda yadda,  but at the end of the day they sponsor a Porsche and Ferrari.
