"In 1993, McLaren was about to toss maybe 20 used TAG-Turbo engines, but Paul Zimmerman at The Motorsport Collector in Chicago bought them and offered them for sale for $500 each. The engines were empty shells but otherwise complete-looking (no turbos). My wife gave me one for my 50th birthday, and until a couple of years ago it was displayed on a table in my office. Whenever anyone walked in and spotted it, I could tell from his/her reaction if he/she was a real "car guy" or not."
