One of his cars, I think the bugatti Type 57, has won best of show at the Pebble Beach Concour's d'Elegance a few years ago.

More likely there a switch on the wall, the platform move to the garage door and then lowers to the ground and his chauffeur drives the car around to the front of the mansion.

I could'a had a garage like that, but so many times I said I got into the wrong profession. My wife says that too. Lazy and poor, rather than ambitious and rich...

I believe Ralph started out as a salesman at a retail store, so unless that was the profession you want to be in
