That's a sweet ride!
My 20s hotrod was a $200 '68 Olds, 1-350, 3 or 4 455s. Used to spank IROCs & TAs regularly When I sold it for $2500 I felt like I had given away my son.
Dream car? Kinda want it back...
Wife and I have three vehicles:
2021 Corolla XSE
2011 Corvette Grand Sport (pic post 174)
2000 Tacoma 4wd 351k miles is my daily driver. It's not normally this clean, LOL.

I actually do understand about the Vette. Buying this Vette was a dream for me and the idea of owning it was greater than actually owning it(once the new wore off). Even though the Vette is nicer and more comfy than my previous hotrod(2000 Camaro SS), I still miss the continuous pull when I "got on it" in the Camaro with the Yank 3600 stall converter. The manual tranny Vette is fun too though but I have to be so careful in the Vette.... it's so low.

She ain't much to look at but gets me from point a to b.
I’ve got a funny story. Last year some coolant fittings broke in my car(very common on P1 S40 Volvo’s) and my car overheated. Bad. That weekend we bought a minivan to cement our membership in the lame suburban parents club and the Volvo has sat since then. I finally got around to getting the head/turbo unit off to inspect the damage. And it is a fucking mess. The cylinders and head are all aluminum so I think it can be saved but check this disgusting shit out
'69 442 convertible, Mach 1, Mondeo, T'bird, '77 Z28, '98 C5, and a half-dozen from this century. Most of those are my daughters'.

2 winters worth of work. Everything in raw aluminum (minus heads and fuel cell) was made here at the shop.

My wife's car:
2009 G8 GT.
ZL1 LSA setup on a 6.0. Makes right at 650 to the tire on pump 91. We bought this as a salvage car in 2017. I had a good 2 years just tracking down NOS OEM parts to get it back together correctly. New paint in summer of 20. If the mileage handn't been so low and the interior so good (literally show room new) we'd of prolly passed on it. Glad we didn't.

I’ve owned three GTO’s. Two 05 and an 06. I’ve got a lot of great memories in them.
I had one and I still buy and drive Cummins, but my 91.5 4x4 was a total piece of shit. It rode like a stage coach, body and interior were junk, continually went through voltage regulators if you got them wet, brakes didn't work, doors were literally falling off.......but the electric windows were awesome. So fast they were like guillotines.
My 1994 was an improvement in everyway. I still have it and it is solid.
I almost forgot about the dowel pin of death. I sold it to a neighbor and about a year later it happened. It has been sitting in weeds since.

Matching definitely more important
I haven’t liked the way any of the smaller miller’s Welded
Since I’ve been working from home, the F350 sits, especially with the price of diesel. I drive this more than anything

I daily a 2011 f-150
Work truck is a 2014 f-350
All boring for us, I’ve done my fair share of stupid shit in my life and owning a fast/sports car ain’t for me. Can’t seem to keep my right foot off the go fast pedal.

Nope, I've been messing with cars for 50 years and I'm not addicted...
My Whip--1990 Chev Lumina 3.1-- 4 speed OD Dark blue and rust primer. Only use it for trips primarily.
Down the highway it gets 30-35 MPG not so good around town but up in the 20s.
Has an AC on R12 that will make your nipples scratch glass.
Crank windows, AM/FM radio, put a toothpick in the power button to make radio go, push button direct start as the switch activation end of the key start is worn out.
I can park anywhere and theives don't even want to fuck with that old shit.
You don't want pictures.

Thanks. Love it as well, about once a month I get asked that and folks often leave a note on the windshield.
what is great about it is the carburetor isn’t adjusted quiet right and I am the only one in the family who drives it. Also love how low the bed is which makes it a hell of a lot easier to get stuff on and out if. Especially compared to the F350
My dad's got two of these in a garage. Until further notice, I suppose they'll pass to me eventually.
Awesome. How often do you drive it? I’ve been kicking around the idea of getting some sort of 4wd vehicle and a G is on the list. The only thing is, I remember them being not the most comfortable to drive. It probably won’t be a daily driver but it will get driven a fair amount
it is a beast 5,500 lb tank; thank goodness this one has a supercharger and 550 horse power. I drive it at least once or twice a week (own too may vehicles and need to rotate) gas mileage is horrible about 10 in the city and 14 on the highway, steering is like driving a tractor seats are comfortable, viability is great you sit up high and no blind spots looking out the front. recently took it out of town on a couple hour trip and was very happy
with that said i still really like it. it is a 2005 G55 AMG with 55,000 miles
My ride Whenever we get another freeze down here in Louisiana
Whenever we get another freeze down here in Louisiana 
My plan(very hypothetical right now) is to import a cdi G from early to mid 00’s so fuel economy will be much better that the G55. I would absolutely love to get a G400 with the bi-turbo V8 diesel but any 5 or 6 cylinder cdi will do. There are plenty of options to get more power if I feel the need. And maybe if I win the lottery I can put portal boxes on it…
