It’s now been almost two weeks since I left work for the final time. I’m working on a life balance of “routine” vs. doing “what I want when I want”. I found a website that showcases thing to do in and around Phoenix, both free and for the price of admission. Today I went the free route and drove up to the Scottsdale Penske Racing Museum.
I’m not a rabid racing fan, nor a big lover of cars. I’ve been out to the Phoenix raceway twice in my eleven years here. The Museum is squarely located between two high end car dealerships, one being Bentley and the other Aston Martin.
Technically, I wouldn’t classify this as a Museum per se, two floors in total, both relatively small. Upstairs had models of race cars and a trophy case. Downstairs though had some sweet race cars from both NASCAR as well as the Indy 500. Outside were the high end cars for sale and it was fun to walk around them, and then laugh out loud when I saw the price tags on a couple. Both marked down about $50,000 to $303,000 and $333,000. I’ve never paid $50K for a car, let alone the new asking price. Have you?
