In the post below on the MG Midget I bought at age 15, reader bjbuster lamented that his head sticks up higher at the wheel of his MG. Being big has its advantages when you’re trying to tackle or wrestle someone, but it can be a challenge if your favorite sports car is tailored to the statistically formulated “average man.”

Wrestler, football-player, TV host (Bill) Goldberg was in my Dream Garages book (his garage is on the cover) with his amazing Mopar collection and he has this photo of himself on his garage wall. This is his kit Cobra with super hi-po engine by NASCAR engine builder, Ernie Elliot (Bill Elliot’s brother). Even with his formidable mass ensconced at the controls, he says it’ll pick up the front wheels at speed if he puts his foot in it.

(He also has the best garage-wall sign I’ve ever seen to accompany a hot collection: “Those found here at night will be found here in the morning.”)
