Started in the early 70's with a Shelby GT 350 that was stolen 5 months after I bought it.
Bought my 65 Vette in 1971 which I still own today. Went through about 10 Chevelles over the years SS396, SS454 etc.
Bought another 12 Corvettes over the last 37 years and finally ended up with my small collection that I have now. 61, 65, 68 and 2002. Now I am retired and have the time to play with my cars full time

My first vehicle was a 95 Dodge Ram 1500 Single Cab (not this one, but same color) My dad still has it and drives it daily
At 18 i bought this 93 Lexus Sc300. I wanted something with better gas mileage than the truck and i decided to get the 300 instead of the 400 so i could have the stick shift.
Now i'm 21. I sold the Lexus a few months back and bought my current car: C5 98 Coupe.
