so great to hear from you Shred ♥ and thanks for putting the topic back up!
Our Charger ran into some issues in June and it hasn't been driveable all summer. A total bummer and a head scratcher. the only good news is that if we get her back in shape the super ridiculously expensive paint job will still be in great shape for next Spring hmm

will add more later

Oh dear! Yachts, airplanes and vintage muscle cars need buckets of $$$.

So glad to see you back and posting Dave. That biannual rate was not cutting it. I'll see if I can get a snap up of our kinda vintage MB. It just crossed the bar and now I was informed that IT IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE EXEMPT FROM CALIFORNIA SMOG TESTING!!!!

That should go in the thread about things that make you smile. smile smile smile

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

My new ride is a 2014 Chevy Camaro SS/RS. Very excited to be driving it. I haven't had a fun car since I sold my 2006 Mustang GT. I like this car even more.

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

We have recently rented four cars: Porsche Panamera, Aston Martin DB9, BMW M3 and BMW 650 Coupe, and driven them along 1230 km. in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy.

Aston was the LEAST liked by our group of friends - only one of sevel enjoyed the ride. Very bulky, poor steering, although very powerful.

M3 and Panamera were considered the most comfortable to grand tourismo.

For me... I love my 911, that I drive at home. smile The best car ever made!

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

My father passed away on 3/20/2013. He had 2 muscle cars that i inherited... i acquired a 67 nova...black with ghost flames on the front end...355 under the hood.  Also a 68 camaro...all red with a 383 in it. Both ground up restorations and both BAD A##. They are a blast to drive...but i'd much rather have him back than either one of the cars.  R.I.P. dad

Tell me about the car i saw parked outside your door ? Tell me what you left me waiting two or three hours for ? Tell me why when the phone rings, baby, your up and across the floor ? Please dont keep me wondering no more.....

Great cars!  Sounds like your Dad was a cool guy.  Sorry for your loss, but enjoy the legacy he left behind!

Someone stole Kenny Wayne Shepherd's Charger!

He's probably got plenty to spare, but still a real drag nonetheless.

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

Supposedly I will get a chance to drive a test fleet 2014 Corvette Stingray next Tuesday!  It will be interesting to see how it compares to my recent Camaro acquisition.  4 more horsepower, but a lot less weight.  Should be fun.

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

I've got a 1999 Honda civic Si blacked out and a fully restored 1967 Corvette. I guess you could say I have the best of both worlds.

I thought this topic looked familiar and wondered where my post had gone…LOL!

I have a 1979 Corvette. Not collectible at all so my hubby and I enjoy autocross & drag racing with it.
It has: ZZ4 crate motor, 385 horsepower, 400 lb-ft torque and it runs straight off the headers.
I love setting off car alarms as I cruise around a parking lot…it rumbles!
I have had it longer than I have had my hubby ;-)

Hi,

I have a 2014 Porsche Cayman. It is my second Porsche and I love it. It is a rocket and it looks sweet too!

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?

Re: CARS CARS CARS!!!!

I watched in amazement how a "metal" man chopped the top on a 1940 Packard, what a talented fabricator! The show is one of the best on all of cable TV, some of those shows are laughable, you just know some of that is a bunch of baloney.

was remembering a different car thread but found this...looks like the original was deleted but ANYWAY
I wanted to talk about cars (or trucks)... because I finally figured out blue81ta's avatar is his car hood!
I've never seen a blue one like that I don't think

My treasure is our 1971 Dodge Chrager...hubby bought from friend's grandmother for $200 back in the day....was in the barn for decades till we had enough $4 for paint and he and friends finished engine redo - forgive me I don't really know a lot of technical blahblah....not special edition or anything but she's fixed up pretty good...just don't get her out enough.

Curious about the 81 ta!!

Hello Jane.  You're correct, my avatar is my car's hood. I am the original owner of my 81 TA. Next month will be 39 years together with my car!! It has 45,000 original miles on it. It's unrestored. Except normal wear and tear parts, tires etc, my car is original. I ordered it just the way I wanted it.  No rain, no snow or salt.... only sunny days. Ol' Blue is put away for the winter, can't wait for spring. The blue is a fairly rare color for 1981. I love the blue.. my favorite color. Even more rare with the gold decals and tan interior.

For now this is the best I can do for a picture. Click on the picture to enlarge it. My car was featured on the cover of this book about the history of the Firebird. Page 91 is dedicated to my TA.
