02 coupe 420 rwhp
99 accord 269k
AND, a 99 chevy dually that has scary rust as well. for example 1 ft rotor split in half.
Sits outside every day next to the accord and the difference is sickening. GM, What Are U Doin???????

How do you like that Ecoboost in your truck? From what I've heard from different owners they seem to have mixed feelings on it.

I regret not getting the GXP but I am very happy with my 2009 G8 GT. It is such a great looking ride and goes like hell.

I've got about 20 hours in Pitts, but have not flown one in 15 years. I love that little hot rod just as much as Corvettes!

Chappie; I have been really lucky I met my wife in the 8th grade and she loves cars and airplanes as much as I do. She has been involved in 8 antique aircraft restorations we have done and she can do some awesome fabric work. We have been married for 41 years this weekend. Her Ercoupe has a 100 hp Continental and it gets along pretty good. As far as my Marquardt it is about as close to a Buecker as far as size and performance as I could find and it is a delight to fly. Everything is pushrods except for the rudder cables so it is really responsive. We are working on a Piper PA-12 right now and a 66 El Camino

2004 Avalanche Z66. Really cool to see how many other guys are driving an Avalanche. It's a good tow vehicle for taking the Vette to long distance car shows too.

Not as pricey as what most folks got but both are paid for and both put a smile on my face.
