I am not that interested in cars, but Danny sure is. I enjoyed looking at all of the unique cars that they had on display. 
The day we were there they were having an event called "Summer Crush". This huge military vehicle ran over a car and crushed it. The car was stripped down to basically the top half of the car. We didn't stay to watch it, but there was a large crowd there. I enjoyed my visit very much but I just couldn’t figure out what some of the designers of the cars were thinking. Check out the picture of the car above. I am not sure what the car is called but I call it a dual front car. There are two steering wheels, two gas petals and two brake petals. There is no rear. Amazing!!! Return from Lane Motor Museum to Nashville Museums
