Grayeagle Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 LOL Vic .. when I was younger I thought I was invulnerable. The fact I am still here proves it. -very evil grin- I very much missed the whole car scene from early 90's to the present due to workin in a career that required moving a lot and apartment living. No place to play or keep a toy. I did manage to have a bit of fun here an there tho. 8000' AGL over the Naval Weapons training center, Florida in 'Crazy Horse' . . Lee Lauderback as CFI in type .. 1944 P-51D converted by Cavalier to TF-51D specs .. my first ever loop .. cuban eight, split-ess, barrel roll, etc A lifetime dream come true .. a true Lady of the Sky that loves to dance in the clouds. Drove a bran-spankin new Forest Green Z-28 off the show room floor in 1996. (*that* was a day of days . . wife says 'if they will finance it you can drive it home' ..she figured no way .. *cough* .. we were doin 'ok' and it completely caught her off guard when they handed me the keys) Was a beautiful car .. wife blew up first time she drove it across town in the snow/ice .. it was unmanageable LOL. Traded it for a Durango ..first year they came out .. 2 years later we got a 2k Durango with all the toys I wanted on it. 360, 3.91's, alla bells an whistles except the sunroof ..first thing I did was have a flowmaster muffler put on, it sounded *good* Second thing I did was blow the doors off some Mustang 5.0 geek off a stoplight (Mustangs have improved significantly since then) I traded that Durango on the '98 Z-51 Vette ..my first ..when we got back to Phoenix and settled a bit. I still remember the feelin when I got in and started it up. The car shook a little and it felt like it had some balls. It had been awhile. It was an education I originally went down to CnV to get their '68 Roadster .. however with the top up, gettin into and out of it was far more of a physical challenge than I remembered !! I didn't bend and snap near as well as I useda So we went over to a beautiful red '96 .. I looked at the frame rail, the door pillar spacing, the roofline ..man you gotta get *small* to get into one of those! The C-5 .. all better. So easy to get into and out of I can wear my hat doin it. Even has a handrest in the door jamb for us old folks Owned a few bikes over the years .. from ridin motocross at Cycle Park right here in Phx when I was 20-21 ('70 - '71) ..started in 125 class ..stepped up to 250 CZ at the last. Difference was I crashed for much longer, farther, faster on the CZ Those reflexes served me very well years later when I got into street bikes for a bit .. 1976 Z Kawasaki was my first 'street bike' in late '70's. .. quite a bit of fun runnin Hiway 2 across the San Bernadino mountains. Later came a Gold Wing and 1100 Shadow .. both excellent cruisers. Put 180k miles split pretty evenly tween the Wing and the Shadow in the years I rode them.. '88 - '95. I better stop.. been playin 'Hearts of Iron 3' ..a wargame based on history beginning in 1936. I am runnin Germany .. not joinin with Italy or Japan, just plain declaring war on the world .. fun stuff Uber Alles, Ja! -Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOTV8 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 More F-bodies! I actually "learned" to drive in my dad's pampered Eldo Biarritz...and mere months later wrapped it around a telephone pole.

Ted Y Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I had: First car: 1968 Ford LTD XL Convertible, red with black top and interior. It sat 6 comfortably and had 5 ashtrays. It was a 302 2bbl and had glasspack mufflers. Sounded great but hardly got out of it's own way. I have pictures somewhere in a box. This was my 16 birthday present. Second car: For graduation I got a 1966 Chevelle Malibu convertible, red with a white top. It came with a 230 straight six that I swapped out for a 350 one summer with my friends. It had about 300 hp and was big time back in Iowa during the late 1980's. Third car: In college I got a 1986 Dodge something or other convertible. I also had a 1971 Charger that my Dad got rear ended in and totaled. That thing was fun. For a while, I also drove my Dad's 1976 Dodge pickup with a 440-4bbl. It got about 10 mpg.

The headlight covers were vacuum operated and took a cool 10 seconds to open. It had a console shifter shaped like a horseshoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a little research, it was actually an ' 84 Dodge 600 ES and had a little turbo 4 cylinder. 1 of 1786 and had a digital dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
