If you love food and you like bitter humor, you probably watch Guy Fieri’s show on the Food Network. The 46-year old television personality co-owns five restaurants in California and is considered by some as the face of the network. The man is also a great American cars enthusiast. He recently showed off his collection to Food Network Magazine so we figured you might want to take a glimpse.
It turns out it’s not just meatballs and jaw-dropping dishes with this fellow. When he’s not busy taking care of people’s taste for great food, Fieri is constantly distracted by classic cars.
“The Chevelle was the car when I was growing up”, he told the magazine. A neighbor was selling a 1971 model and even though he never quite afford it he finally eneded up buying it.
According to the source, he used his latest $12,000 savings he secretly stashed for years and offered the car's seller a one-year worth free-meals at his first restaurant. It was his first of a long line of cars he’d eventually all have finished in yellow, even though he didn’t like the color at first.
To celebrate his first cooking show on Food Network, Guy bought a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette. This one sits just perfect next to the ride he recently got which is yet another beautiful classic, a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette. Add a 2006 Chevrolet Kodiak and this man’s collection almost talks by itself. We don't know about the show, but the fellow sure knows to pick his cars.

First cooking show celebration: a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette
Another of the cars he owns is a 1976 Jeep CJ-5. The car is about 40-years old and was rebuilt from the inside out. But Guy didn’t buy all of the wheels he takes to the road. The 2007 Shelby Cobra is a personalized all-black car he got as a gift from its designer, industry icon Carroll Shelby. To these, a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, the first off the factory line, ads up.To celebrate his first cooking show on Food Network, Guy bought a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette.
