I hope you didn't have to pay for the new car. I would have made the drunken idiots pay for it.

Do people ride that around with that sign on the front fender?
Yea here's my hooptie '69 Continental. A couple of the pics are from before I had the roof painted, she looks much better since then. She's a beast that gets maybe 8mpg and spews large amounts of everything terrible for you including asbestos. What can I say, Im just a kid trying doing my part to try to melt as much of the ice caps as possible.

I have a 66 Pontiac Lemans with a 455, 92 5.0 notch Mustang , an 89 Volvo 740 turbo, and a 67 Mg Midget. I can talk cars all day long.
I'll have some pics up tommorow when there is light again. Until then here is a clip of some fun in my Volvo

I have a 2006 Triumph Speed Triple, with a rear seat cover...completely stock...I have added some tank pads since this photo was taken at Mt. Baldy awhile ago:

I don't have any photos of my car, so here is an advertisement: 2002 Lincoln LS V6 with auto trans.

I meet a lot of people who own Triumph bikes...
but what about the cars? My dream car is a Triumph TR6, preferably 71' -74'. My dad owned a 72' TR6 when I was a kid, I called it his rocket car... it was buried in the pasture behind my grandmothers farm... meh.
:: Digs hole::
kinda like this one:

just a dark red instead.

If I couldn't have that, I want an old MGA. When I drove tractor trailer I hauled cars, and I'd deliver an MGA or MGB every once in awhile, the old ones with the wooden under side and everything. I loved the cute little things, it was like a go-cart that went 3 times as fast! And they're just hot looking:

They are totally like gokarts. No brakes steering locks,windows, air conditioning, a lack of vaccum lines and wiring. Im restoring my Midget right now and im amazed how simple it really is. I have had it for years but tearing the poor thing up after droping a motor im my Volvo has really driven the point home for me.
Damn you! I was just talking to my friend how I'm gonna tell my brother to keep his eye out for one. He still hauls cars for a living; you'd be surprised what you can find for dirt cheap this way.Quote:

I had to get the fuckus though because driving older cars was getting to be to much of a hassle with my schedule. I needed something that wouldn't break down, so I bought new. Once this bugger dies though, it's probably back to cheap cars for me again!
Why was it buried?Quote:

I could make some money with that but its just another piece of shit I don't really need. It would be fun though. I love sleepers. I could use a practical car myself. It hard for me to not make whatever I get faster. I bought the Volvo to haul my dogs around in and camp in and instead found myself cranking up the boost and racing till a spit a rod in half windowing the block on both sides. Its to hard for me to resist just like people here moding thier Sega's. Still though I need a real car. My poor Mustang is my daily. She has never failed me but has over 170,000 and really needs a rest.Quote:
