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

My insurance paid for it. The drunken idiots didn't have insurance. Most people who cause accidents don't... they are irresponsible in every facet of life! My insurance company is going after them for reimbursement, though.Originally Posted by evildragon

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 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.

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.Originally Posted by Iron Lizard
All my cars (minus my fuckus) in my life were purchased while out hauling cars. I never paid more then 400 bucks for a car and I've had several Mercedes-Benz. I miss driving, but since my Dad died I haven't had the desire to get back into that line of work (I worked for my father who owned his own Auto Transport Company).
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!

There are few Midgets around here for sale but not in running condition. I missed out on a Decent MGB here for $950. I called as soon as I could but it was gone in less then a day. Now im trying to convince myself to not buy a 78 Fairmont Wagon that someone had swapped the driverain out of a 5.0 Mustang into. 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.Originally Posted by lordofduct
That's a story I probably shouldn't divulge to much on... let's just say my Dad's friend had 2 broken legs and a broken arm, a young woman couldn't visit anymore, and people realized why drugs are bad.Originally Posted by Rusty Venture
