My Ride
My other vice is that I am a '60's "Blue Oval" fan ...
Our 1968 Mustang "GT/CS" California Special is one of 111 made that year with an "S" code 390 big block and four speed. I love this car ... it makes me into a teenager again!
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Our second '60's Mustang is a '65 Mustang Fastback that I have owned for 33 years as of this coming September. It was a 289 with a four speed, but we're rebuilding it into a GT350 Shelby clone with the original 289 rebuilt to Shelby specs at just over 300HP and we're adding a 5 speed T-5 trans for better highway cruising. It will be white with the traditional blue racing stripes of course. Right now it is torn apart into a million pieces, but hopefully it'll be finished up sometime later this year and when it's all done it will look exactly like this beautiful Shelby!

Seeing your Mustangs brought back memories of my teen years. In 69 my buddies were driving Mustangs and I picked up a mint 67 Fairlane 500 GT 390 4 speed. I used to race and beat my buddies 68 390 4 speed Mustang until he topped me with a 67 Fairlane 427 4 speed. I couldn't beat that. Ah those good years of .23 a gal premium gas and cheap tires. I've never stopped missing the car as it was part of my youth but I never gave up the thrill of speed. My current toy is a 1993 Z-28 Camaro 355 6 speed with a D1R procharger running 18 lbs of intercooled boost. Its a nice little low ten second ride in the 1/4 at 138mph.
i have an 01 turbo beetle, there are few corvettes that can beat me
it looks like all the other new beetles and is lemon yellow as yellow is my fav color.
i doubt many people here are into tuners so i wont bore ya with specs
my 1st car was a 66 chevelle. my G-ma bought it for me at a garage sale on my 14th b-day. it wasnt very pretty but it ran.
she called me and had me ride my bike 6 miles to meet her. i got there and she said "do you like it" i was enthralled and then she said "good, happy bday" she let me drive it home that day.
i spent the next 2 years working on it almost daily. hand sanded the whole thing.
an uncle that was a painter for 60 years painted it for me. was metallic electric blue.
i spent the next 6 years putting money into that car. seemed she hated me. however i loved her and did all i could for her.
i had a yellow lab named max at the time. he rode shotgun while my friends sat in the back
i sold her when i was 24
her name was "betsy" and i miss her ALOT
my 1st set of tires lasted 2 days
FEAR YOUR GOVERNMENT
“The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government.” - Thomas Paine
Here's mine, "The Interstate Curser" aka 'The Silver Bullet".
Nothing fancy, just set back and ride in confront going hunting ,shooting or fishing with plenty room for gear.
Let the Good Times Roll.
My daughter's new purchase -
1978 Mercury Grand Marquis. 1 owner, garage kept, clean and smooth...

My 87' Toyota Supra turbo. I built it from a sad $1000 pile of parts. It's got a motor from a Japanese market Toyota Soarer. Right now I'm making around 440hp (haven't got it on the dyno yet since the second turbo upgrade). It's hot road black for now, but I'm hoping to get some nicer paint on it once I move out of town and get a garage. So far in the past two years it got hit by two hail storms.
I don't think this quaifies as a nice ride when compared to the hardware you guys are running. Meet Genda my 1973 Datsun 620 (named after the Japanese avator who led the attack on Pearl Harbor). I bought it for $300 and painted it in the driveway. I keep him running with 2 screwdrivers and a hammer.
Two of my favorite rides, one gravity powered the other a 55 Cessna 180, powered by a fuel guzzling Continental O-470A. It is the pickup truck of the north country.

Joni, it is a MGA.
Thanks. Very very nice.
Got the toys outta the garage and fired them up.
When will we have a ugly truck contest/thread? I have one to enter.
Thanks

Yeah I figured it out. It would not be ALASKA……... unless it was the absolutely the toughest it could be and worst possible case scenario!
Here's part of it..... She runs on corn!!!
