I bought a 2013 Challenger R/T back in May. It had 24,000 miles on it and it was in nice shape. It has the 375 hp Hemi, with an 6 speed manual transmission and a 3.92 rear gear. It’s only options were the moonroof and 20”inch wheels. I really enjoy driving it.  ... View more

This is my 1985 Dodge Aries wagon, it was pretty neglected when I got it in 2014. I was going to paint it early on, but spent more under the hood then I planned (that happens a lot). The paint on the sides is pretty good, but the top surfaces are pretty much roasted. The wagon is a factory 4 speed wagon, that’s why I saved it.  Factory 4 speed manual. ... View more

Here is my 1973 Ford Country Sedan. It’s wearing most of it’s original paint. The left front fender and the right rear quarter panel was damaged and repaired early in this wagon’s life. The paint is thin on the wagon now, I’ve thought of painting it a few times, but feel like I would be opening a can of worms. I keep it garaged when not in use to preserve it.  ... View more

This is my 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate. It was assembled on October 1st, 1996 when production was extended to fill orders for the final year GM B-Body platform vehicles. I picked this one up in 2011 with 75k miles on it. It had been neglected, so it took some work to make it presentable. I had the mouldings wrapped in the original wood grain pattern. The paint and the main wood grain panels are original. I replaced the upholstery along with the carpet in 2019. I’ve only put 22,000 miles on it in 9 years. I keep it in the garage to preserve it the best I can. I was on part of the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2014 and in 2019. I hope to road trip it to Amelia Island in 2021 show. ... View more

We had two different Nissan pickups, the first one was a 1979 King Cab we bought in 1984, then in January 1985 we bought a base model 1985 Nissan pickup. Both of these trucks were used in our convenience store business. We also had at one time a 1987 Toyota xtra cab long bed and a 1988 Mazda single cab long bed. I myself, drove a 1993 Chevrolet S-10 extended cab for several years. We also had another S-10 that we used in the business, it was a 2003 Chevrolet S-10 single cab short bed. It was a ex-fleet truck. I’m waiting to see what the upcoming “Ford Maverick” pickup and Hyundai Santa Cruz pickups will be like. I may choose one for a daily driver. We do have my late Dad’s 99 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 extended cab that’s a great truck.  ... View more

When I was stationed at Sembach AB in West Germany from 1988-90, my first car was a 1978 VW Derby. The VW Foxes remind me of that car. The VW Derby was based on the VW Polo, which was a smaller car then the VW Golf. It was a 2 door coupe, with a 1.1 liter water cooled engine, FWD, and a 4 speed manual transmission. I only kept it for a year, before terminal rust sent it to the scrapyard with 166,000 Km on it. These cars were never sold in the US market.  ... View more

Here is my entry for Concours De Lemons 🍋   1985 Dodge Aries wagon with a 2.2 liter and factory 4 speed.  Spent way more money on it then it was worth to make it road worthy.  It was entered in the 2020 Amelia Island Concours De Lemons as my “Plan A” car. Sadly it couldn’t make the trip so I bought my 1973 Ford Country Sedan wagon instead. A virtual contest makes it easy for this wagon to attend.                ... View more

Growing up, we always had at least one pickup truck in the family. My Dad would drive a pickup to work. At first it was a clapped out 1954 Chevrolet, then a 1963 Ford F-100. This was in the 1970’s. We could only afford one car payment so Mom got the late model Station wagon, and Dad would drive beater pickups. In 1979 my Dad got a new job and one of the perks was a company vehicle a 1976 Ford F-150 long bed with the Ranger XLT package. He drove that for many years as we started a family business (convenience stores) he started driving cars for a daily drivers. We always have kept a pickup around because it comes in handy in our business. We usually used compact trucks like Toyota’s, Nissan and Mazda along with a couple of S-10’s over the years. When Dad retired he bought a used 99 Toyota Tacoma extended cab 4x4 . He passed away in 2017 but we still have the truck.  ... View more
