Sammy Hagar is a BIG car guy. In an older issue of Automobile Magazine, they spotlighted some collections of famous people, and his was one that was featured. In that article, me mentioned that we wanted to get one of the "upcoming" Ford GT supercars, as that issue the article was in, the cars were still in the prototype testing phase. Glad to see he finally got his new ride.

If I remember that article correctly, his cars were a little "tatty" because he likes to drive them. No garage queens in his collection. More power to him!!

Hey Scott, you are 100% correct. He does drive his cars often. I believe I remember he has a 365 GTB Ferrari Daytona, among other cars. He does not have garage queens.

Sammy Hagar and the Warboritas. Wabos for short I guess. Great solor stuff. Sammy is turning into a modern rock version of Jimmy Buffett. His followers are the Red Heads. Funny stuff.

I thought he and Van Halen got back together, guess it was short lived.
