Lol ok since we are getting fancy, Ill upload my car pics too.


My 85 Crown Vic LTD. That was my high school and early college car. I had it for about ten years, but I havent driven it in the past 3-4 years because I got my Lumina. It had about 150k miles on it although Im not totally sure as the odometer broke off a couple of times. I also rebuilt the tranny with a friend. Would have been nice to restore, if i had the $$. The header, fender and front bumper are replacements as I ran the car into a brick wall in college, lol. Tried to be a show off, spun the car around a corner, fell over and the car ran the curb and into a wall. I just backed out and kept on going though...but I had to replace the parts for cosmeticness....although I never repainted it...so it had a brown fender and a blue header and bumper, lol.


This is my 96 Lumina LS. Im the 4th owner of it, the first was the dealerships owner, then my two uncles, and finally me. My uncle was selling it at a good price so I bought it and parked my crown vic and used this car. It works great, no issues really. I blew the tranny (apparently you need to stop before you shift into reverse, lol) and had it rebuilt. The engine has over 164k on it and still running strong. Last summer, I had to take the door apart because the door mechanism wasn't working...and then I managed to lose some of the bolts so the door panel is still off. Just need to find a junkyard and slap er together again. Ran it on the 1/4 mile a few years back with all the ricers...ran a 17 second 1/4 mile at 80mph. woot!


And this was my 78 Goldwing GL1000. I sold it last summer. Put wayyy too much money into it. I drove it to some Goldwing rallies and won various 1st and 2nd place awards with it.

No pictures for me, but I have a 2003 Chevy Venture van. Sure it's a minivan but it rocks in the snow and hauls all my stuff in comfort while getting me 30mpg. My wife has a 2003 Grandam GT, very nice car with the sunroof and all that fancy stuff, she lets me drive it sometimes

1985 Toyota Corolla- stretched a rod bolt at 200K miles, not worth rebuilding so I'm going to find a mid-sized truck (probably a Toyota) to replace it

1984 Honda V-65 (1100cc) Magna, my baby, scary fast and very agile. Just took a 1000 mile road trip with no problem but its getting old and becoming a collector's bike so I'm going to do a ground restoration on it and chrome the heck out of it and only take it out on sunday's but since I'll ride unless its to icy to stand up I'm going to buy a Honda Valkerie as my regular ride.
