Howdy all. I have just put a deposit on a '70 coupe that I'm picking up next week. Others in the stable are my dd, a '12 Ford Focus that I traded in an '09 c6 on (long commute) and a 67 Camaro I'm restoring and should be nearly complete this year. The wife drives a '13 F150 King Ranch.

01 jeep TJ for winter
01 Mustang for any day without snow.
Both are 5 speed ragtops. Only car I own or ever will own again that isnt a ragtop is the 74 vette. Something about the t-top appeals to me,more so than a vert for c-3s anyway.

I was hoping for more pictures when I made this thread! Woke up this morning and decided to snap another pic for ya'll before I left for work, 2012 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe, I used to have a 2011 CTS-V Sedan (black on black, modded) that got stolen last year and replaced it with this one. Also got a 2012 F-250, I have more cars than one person needs, so I'll just post them little by little.

2008 Malibu. Replaced an 01 S-10 which replaced a 94 S-10 Blazer which replaced my first car, a 1988 Astro van...


S-10 Pickup

And why I replaced it with the Malibu


Blazer just before getting traded in during the "cash for clunkers" program... my pops bought this off me to trade in for a Smart...


Yeah yeah, so what... it's lowered with hub caps... I was 16 with my first car...


I had even practiced lowering it on the donor van (transmission)

Thanks, I often break out in giggles when I'm driving it. It actually gets more attention than the Corvette. If you'd like you can check out the build thread here:

I've always been a fan of AMC's, kind of weird the type of cars I'm into considering my age (I'm only 22 years old). I've got some stuff to do at work right now but I book marked that thread for later, thanks for sharing!

The 79 L82 is my daughter's daily driver, and I typically stick to 2 wheels for my daily duties, on either the Triumph Sprint ST (10k milles/yr) or Cervelo S5 (7k mi/yr). For the rare rainy work days, to the velodrome, or family jobs, I get to drive the WRX (6k mi/yr).

I drove my wife's Honda to the shop the other day (picking up the C3), and they were shocked, asking "Oh, you have a practical car, too?" Yeah, and it will go dead even with the L82 in the quarter...

That is so amazingly funk-ugly I love it. I checked out the build thread; the blue/purple (blurple?) interior is terrific.
