I saw this and thought it might be off interest to some of you. In thousand oaks, today and tommorow.

It kind of amazes me that he opens that place to the public, considering the risk of theft and damage. But I love that he does it.

my understanding is that to have your collection defined as a museum, you have to have some number of public days, and that defining your collection as a museum has tax benefits that are significant.

Not at all judging, I think it's awesome he does it, but a friend of mine had worked for Mullin and explained that that was really the reason he had the museum rather than just a collection ina warehouse.

[Steve Simmons]

That sounds right, I've heard the same thing about museum status. He could always charge admission and do guided tours I suppose.

7 cars and a tractor is starting to sound like a museum to me Steve.

[Steve Simmons]

Hey, if there's tax benefits then I'll invite everyone over today.

I was at Malamut earlier this year...impressive collection, worth the visit.
