Your favorite classic stock vehicle: 1966 Ford Mustang
Your favorite hot rod/lead sled: Chopped/Lowered & channeled 1950 Mercury
Your favorite muscle car: 1969 Ponitiac GTO
Your favorite sports car: 1962 Porche 911
Your favorite Land Barge/Tuna Boat: It's a toss up between a 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille *or* a convertable 1961 Lincoln..you know, the one with 4 doors..and the
rear doors are fitted in "suicide" configuration..!? The one Kennedy was assassinated in? Yeah..that one..!!
Your favorite antique: 1929 Model-T
(could be hot rodded out..but I prefer this one in original condition!)Your favorite truck: A Ford F-150 ...my pop has one..he originally gave it to me, but I had to give it back since I couldn't bring it with me to Colorado when my wife and I moved here. Reason...it needed work, and driving it here from California would probably do it in.. But I do like the new F-150s..!! I'm a Ford whore...what can I say..?
Your favorite SUV: I like the original Hummer,
HUM-V...It's big, wasteful...and can almost go anywhere..except deep water..
mrgreen Favorite Japanese rice burner: Oh..jeez...let's see..hmmm...I haven't been in the market to buy a Japanese car...but if I had my druthers..it would be perhaps..a
Subaru... My folks used to have a Subaru Brat back in the early 80's...until my brother and I started driving it...and we..ummm...drove it into the ground..
sweatdrop What can I say? He and I were young and stupid!
Favorite German transport: Hands down...Mercedes! My wife currently drives a 1997 4 door...and that's a nice car. I wasn't much into Mercedes at first, but after she got that one...I'm hooked!! A great freeway driving car!! Though we did have a hand-me-down Volkwagon Rabbit from her dad...but it took a dump and we had to get rid of it...but that car was a
closet sports car! It had suprising
get-up-and-go!! But Mercedes is by far, a good piece of machinery.
Favorite concept vehicle: I liked the "original" concept of the Ford Probe...from the original drawings...before they actually made it into production...and it turned out to be a big disappointment for me..
Favorite TV car: I'd have to say...the "Batmobile" from the 60's TV show...followed by the Munster's "Dragula"...both made by George Barris! He did some crazy and fun stuff from the 60's till now!! Here's his website:
www.BARRIS.comFavorite cinematic car: The GTO in the first
XXX movie with Vin Diesel...that car
IS my favorite actor in the whole film!!
Favorite auto sport: Drag racing!! NHRA! ..My favorite drag racing catagory is "funny car"...especially the ones that race using a combo of nitro-methane...!!
Your current ride to get you around: I drive a 1997 Ford Aerostar minivan...not glamorous by any means, but it can haul 7 people or a load of "whatever"...it needs it's power steering fixed, new shocks, a new wind shield
(driving behind gravel trucks in Colorado sucks!)..new tires for summer..and a bath followed by detailing!
(Say...would anyone have any suggestions on how to "pimp" out..or customize an Aerostar? ..just curious..) This minivan of mine gets great gas mileage...I can go 2 weeks on one fill up..driving around town locally, and on the freeway. Our Mercedes can't even do that in a week!! Explain that..!! I sure can't..
sweatdrop I could add more to this...but I'll let others add to it if they feel like it..
