Anybody that thinks I'm going to mentally jerk off this kinda' goddam nonsense, and sit here typing for half an hour can KMA, and GFHS.

This will have to do,....

I do currently own a Ferrari, and up for gambling about that being, or not being the case.

While I have had a few cars that are supposed to be interesting such as a new Porsche and a number of Corvettes. The greatest car I ever owned was my new 1969 Ford XL convertible. I ordered it with the 429 4 bbl. and air.

It was black with a white top and gold seats. It was the king of the road for me back then. In the winter I drove a Toronado with snows on the front.

I bet you liked your Datsun the best. LOL. Was it orange with black trim?


Actually, I liked the Challenger the best, wish I would have kept it.

The B210 was brown and fugly as hell but it had a crankin stereo in it. lol



That reminds me of high school so much. Funny stuff. I remember that color as well. ..and when Datsun changed to Nissan [or at least that's what I was told]. If we're going for a "cool" factor, the challenger is my first pick.

fun exercise, brings back memories. Boring cars, but great memories!
All were/are good vehicles, with very little maintenance, except the 2004 Suburban and my wife's first car, her mustang which blew a head gasket at 110,000 miles, with lots of other problems before that.

Between my wife and I:
72 Buick Skylark (good car)
79 mustang (bad bad car)
80 Citation (good car)
84 K-5 Blazer (great truck)
85 Accord (great car)
88 4-runner (great truck)
92 Corolla (good)
2001 Suburban (good)
2002 Tundra pickup (still have, great truck)
2004 Suburban (still have, oil burner, good enough truck, great ride, but lots of repairs needed)
2010 Corolla (still have, good car)


Things to ride for hunting or ice fishing:
72 Johnson snowmobile with reverse (good enough)
84 Polaris 340 TXC (good, fun to ride)
1987 Skidoo Tundra (great machine, still have)
1993 Skidoo Tundra (great machine, still have)
2007 450 Yamaha Grizzly (great wheeler, still have)

68 Pontiac Catalina. 400 V-8 and a trunk so big it had it's own area code.
70 Cutlass
76 Chevette-"the vette"
80 Chevette cuz one "vette" experience wasn't enough
66 Scout-posi front and rear. That ugly old crate could climb a telephone pole
66 Jeep Wagoneer, with the infamous Pontiack 230 Tornado straight 6. You could have mounted a 55 gallon drum of oil on that thing and it would still be low.
84 Pontiac Sunbird.
78 Bronco
82 Blazer
Mercury Sable
Several Chrysler Mini-Vans
2 Chevy Luminas
Ford Explorer

Of all these, I wish I still had the Catalina. Just nice big old piece of Detroit metal.

I saw a list of "other vehicles" so I'll post some of ours too. My brother and I did a 2 year stint racing sleds, and managed to go through a lot of equipment between racing and just riding.

72 Polaris Colt 295
73 Polaris Colt 340
70 Mercury a.k.a. The Beast
72 Artic Cat EXT the only black piece of crap we ever owned or ever will
74 Massey Ferguson enough said
75 Rupp Nitro 440 FA Fast out of the hole and could turn with the best of them..
76 Mercury Sno-Jets one in 440 and one in 340. Just about untouchable on the flat tracks until Polaris came out with it's I.F.S. RXL models. Truly a shame that Merc pulled the plug on their sled business, as these were tough, hard to beat machines.
We swapped through a bunch of old stuff to get parts we needed for barter or to fix up wrecks we bought. There were Ski-doos, Moto Skis, Skiroules, Bruts, Vikings, Speedways, Scorpions, Chapparals, Herters, and even a very weird looking Bolens. Oh yeah, we owned a Harley Davidson for about a week also.

Racing on the tightest of shoestring budgets was always an adventure. We mostly ran the Mercs until parts became tough to find. We'd buy blown up motors, used skis and tracks, anything we could get a deal on. Put 'em back together and bring those old war horses back to life for another weekend. Our mantra always was that as long as we beat the Arctic Cats, it was a successful weekend. Gawd, how we hated anything BLACK! IMO, Arctic never made a decent sled once they quit running Kawasaki power plants. The El-Tigre's were a much better sled with Kawasaki engines.
