Is anybody into the automotive scene?

[ws98ta]

I am into the car scene.
I have meet you aswell modern. You sold me a jato.

I have had 4 f-body's. 2 3rd gens and 2 4th gens.
I just recently sold/traded my 01 ws6 (cam,bolt ons,no2)for an 08 g8 gt.
I already started modding on the g8. Positive manifold pressure is in the works, but not till the winter.

1933 Ford flathead V8 and 1951 Henry J 6cyl. I drive the Ford when the weather's clear, winter time too. The HJ mostly sits in the garage. I'm in the process of restoring a 1970 Big Block Chevy pickup. It is the 50th one I've done, number 51 can be seen in the photo covered up.

I've owned a number of neat cars over my many years though I don't currently. I enjoy seeing them though. I always drool over the Barrett-Jackson auctions on SpeedTV. Right now (3/26 - 3/27) the Mecum auction of muscle cars is on the Velocity Channel, they will be at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in mid-May.

This was my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am GT/SCT I sold after I was involved in a wreck with my first BMW.

Brake upgrade:

The car was lowered, dark tint, cai, camaro brake upgrade, flowmaster 80 muffler with resonator delete. Had mirrors from an older grand am, upgraded the headlights to what you see pictured, inside was all black and gray unlike the factory 3 colors it came with, had a rear view mirror out of a buick to have temp and compass.

This is the BMW I was in a wreck with that ended up forcing me to trade in the Grand Am:

This is the truck that hit me:

I traded the G/A for a BMW 530I, boring car...

To which I traded for my truck:

To which I decided I wanted a car as well as a truck:



And I get to drive this every once in a while:

 

[Rocket]

Got a 1990 Toyota Hilux pickup with 3800 SC in the bed. Daily driver and track toy. I still have a 1966 Olds Cutlass 2dr HT that I will restore one day. I have been a car guy so long I made my hobby my profession.

Oh and I am getting ready to put a 1968 Olds 455 into my 1982 Suburban. The 350 is tired and I have a 60k mile motor. Also because I can.

 

[Navykid05]

My first vehicle was a 1985 Chevy El Camino. I put remote start and keyless entry on it in high school. It's a pretty sweet ride. I just don't get to drive it as much as I'd like to. My dad has a 1980 El Camino....I guess it's in the genes...

Is the truck a funky color? I think I may have seen it (or something similar, anyhow) last fall at the TSC on the south edge of Greenwood.

As for being a "car guy"... I'm not wealthy enough for owning that which I'd like to own.

I'm "set" to inherit a 1996 Corvette Special Edition - convertible (not GS). That is until my father decides he doesn't/can't drive a 6-speed any more and sells it.

It is teal blue with stickers on it. It is Extreemly likely you saw it at that TSC. I run around Greenwood, Whiteland, and Franklin mostly

 

[Corporal D]

I've got 5 cars... all with v8s

Have a 06 300c I used to drag race all the time. Dropped and 392 in it a couple years ago and I'm slowly working out the kinks. My gun hobby got in the way of my car hobby for a while...

 

[jerryv]

A couple of Corvettes here .. '93 LT1 and '02 Z06 ..

 

[stephen87]

I love me some imports and trucks. Give me a lowered truck any day of the week and I'll be happy. Right now I have a 2008 G6, but I've been wanting to get a Blazer for fun.

 

[Tnichols00]

Here is my old MR2 made 383whp and ran mid 11's.

 

[Super Bee]

Here is my 1969 Dodge Charger SE. She has right around 40,000 original miles. I purchased it several years ago from the original owner from SoCal. I have done quite a bit to her over the years.

[Kedric]

Very much into automotive. Though I tend to be very specific on what I like, I can appreciate many aspects.

Some examples of what I am personally interested in would be:

The 1987-1988 Ford Mustang GT hatchback with T-Tops.

The 1994-1996 Ford F-150 regular cab Flare side 4x4s.

The 2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2 door.

The 1970 Mustang Mach 1.

!984-1990 Bronco IIs.

I had a couple of bikes, but I sold them.


Right now I am working on putting a 302 into the BII. The mustang t-tops and Unlimited 2 door are high on my wish list.

I also keep having a weird idea of chopping the roof off of a short bed 4x4 pick up of some kind.

I am going to school for automotive, actually, with hopes of either getting into or starting a shop that does custom one offs for clients or resto-mods classic vehicles.

Nice truck! I too am into many things automotive. Diesel trucks have been my main focus over the past few years but i also have a 68 mustang that is a piece of swiss cheese but I love it just the same.

I feel your pain. At one point I thought I might, but then I said "I do" and curtains went up on the house, throw pillows showed up everywhere, and my paycheck somehow miraculously shrunk. I have to wait now until the vehicle I drive is driven into the ground.

But, if I had my way I wouldn't ask for much at the moment. Just an '86 El Camino, a '78 Bronco, and a new Mercedes C350. Oh, and something with a manual transmission. At this point I don't care if it's a Ford Pinto. Too many cars today only come in a %#$@#! automatic.

 

[churchmouse]

This is the churchmouse man cave when we were still doing Harley's and some fast jap scrap.

Sold all the bikes and went back to drag racing.

This must be the Church of Speed and you are the High Priest.
