Peeeenuuutt I grew up in family owned Wrecking Yard and had 3 Mustang fastbacks a 67 w/390,68GT500 w/429,69 w/427 & 2 Coupes by the age of 17 plus later on I owned a 34 Ford Rat Rod,56-57 Chevy's, 71 Monte Carlo w/454, old 40's-50's Trucks, 72 Cutlass and many more!

Definitely a big fan of that 454 Monte Carlo, must've been badass. Before my ram, I owned a '91 C10 454SS and that motor was killer despite only having like 200 horsepower lol. I bet that Monte Carlo ripped with the extra power.

Dsg or manual? (Is that an option on these now?)

DSG

It was hard to move away from the manual, but in these cars, the DSG is soooo good these days.

Here is one of my old cars-

And here is it driving around with my old cell phone zip tied to the rear wiper to capture the sound-

I still have this one-

Those R32's have a great exhaust note. Very cool car.

A year before my father passed away be bought a Ferrari California T. He had always wanted a Ferrari. This is Ferrari's "entry level" car, but I thought is was beautiful. The smell of leather on the inside was intoxicating. And the level of workmanship was unlike any car I have ever owned. He used to drive it a few miles to Dunkin Donuts and back, lol. Of course I made him cough up the keys when I came down to visit him. I have to find the video I have of me hammering it. It was pretty ballsy. I'm glad he was able to enjoy it before he passed.

1992 Foxbody Coupe - I grew up in 90s when they were really big and always wanted one. I built it with a buddy I worked with about 10 years ago. It was a 4cyl automatic roller with white paint and red interior. We did every bit of work on it except the first alignment.

Several videos of it up on my YouTube channel.

Yes sir! Loved it!!

Well I said I wouldn’t upload any past cars but this is one of those cars I wish I never sold. This was before the GTR and inspired my forum names on many of the other forums. I miss this car. 2012 Cadillac CTSV 6 speed with ZR1 supercharger, injectors, cam, ethanol, and bolt-ons. Made 712 hp to the wheels when it was all done.

 

[GMballistic]

@2015GTRBE That Cadillac looks great and awesome power.
I've never seen one of those before being in the UK, ...the back end on it looks nice and fat, love it.

It’s a Corvette ZR1 in a Tuxedo. Little heavy but great car. ?

My favorite cars over the years are Jeep Cherokee XJs. Man I wish they still made those things, I love how they look and perform. The 4L V6 is about as close to indestructible as you can get. The last one I had was a few years ago, a beautiful low mileage machine I was lucky enough to find . . . rear-ended and destroyed by a young driver not paying attention. I was pissed.

The original SUV!

Which XJ though, pre or post 1996? As for the 4L being indestructible, i would agree to a point. Anything over 150k, and they are easily destructible, at least for me. I have had several XJ's, WJ's and ZJ's and YJ's, all with the 4L, and have replaced several engines. My current WJ has developed a tick when cold, that never really goes away, it just gets quieter as it warms up, but, that has over 200K on it, so, im waiting for it to go boom eventually.

As for my other vehicles, 6 Subarus (97 Legacy Outback, 99 Impreza, 99 Legacy GT, 01 Forester, 01 Impreza Outback Sport, 04 Impreza Outback Sport), and an 05 Chevy Equinox. I have had a long line of Subaru's, Chevettes, even a Yugo or two (or 6).

The inline 6 in the xj is a pretty good engine, I think compared to most other jeeps of the time it was dead reliable. It had heat issues but if maintained they can go a very long time. They are also light, I really liked mine back in the day.

Had many rides over the years. Mostly Chevy Man but some Fords, Toyota, Datsun.

Lost my home in Katrina with all my pics, photo albums and computer. Not to mention my beloved 69' Camaros and Silverados. Not going to make a list but had MANY muscle cars.

Since learned you can lose everything you acquired in your life overnight so now I try to keep posessions simple as possible.

What I will share is my 70' Nova SS, yes real SB SS, and down to 1 motorcycle Yamaha FZ1.

 

[PowerDubs]

Banshees a wild ride!!!

 

[olds97_lss]

Man, I don't know what some of you guys do for a living, but hats off to you! There are some sweet rides in here!

 

[GMballistic]

@arrmadillo So sorry to hear that you lost most everything by the sounds of it when Katrina hit.

That Nova is pure car porn.
I love it and although I am a car guy at heart I do appreciate a good bike, just could never have one myself because my love of speed would no doubt be my downfall. Still beautiful bike too.
