Christmas Gift Idea: The Costco Ultimate Garage...

When we think of Costco we think of buying packages of junk food by the crate. Costco is the place where on the weekend you can go for lunch and fill up on all the free samples at the end of the aisles. The place you just can't walk out of without a shopping cart full of snacks that you don't really need and spending under 200 bucks is nearly impossible.

I came across this gem while looking through their website. This is not a model but the real deal! Yes! You can buy a car from Costco. The details of the package include handcrafted aluminum Kirkham (not to be mistaken with Kirkland, Costco's name brand) Motorsports 427 KMS/SC component vehicle. The 427 is a little misleading since the car does not come with a motor or transmission. The car is prewired and plumed so all you need to do is build a big block, add a Tremec TKO 600 5 speed or a Ford Top Loader transmission. Shoe horn it in and hook everything up and you are ready to go. Sounds easy but you are going to pay for this luxury! It is only $89,999.99 but that includes shipping!

Here is a link to see what it includes:
