Since there are so many Novas the one below is mine, currently getting a 12 point cage and minitubbs. I have no pics of the 89 Camaro owned for the sole pleasure of my dogs. They love to ride.

Not often that you see a first gen Probe in such good shape. My first "dedicated race car" (A GRM $2004 Challenge entry, a $500 car with $600 worth of race tires on it) was a '89 Probe in much worse condition.

Thank you Matt.:o

I bought the GT new, and it still shares daily driving duty (when it's not motorcycle weather) with the CE.

Modified suspension and boost controller, otherwise bone stock. It's been an excellent car.

Default curious....?

The only pic of my 90 L98 6spd before I parked her in the garage and then stripped out the interior:


My daily driver is something most of you guys won't have seen before:


It's a totally stock Rover 216 Coupe and it's basically a Honda Civic underneath. 40+mpg and no rattles on an engine that's seen almost 160k can't be bad...

Nice 5.9 Jeep!

I'm pretty much a Jeep disciple when not in the Corvette. Three in the driveway right now (hopefully soon to be two when someones' chcek clears!)

The old daily driver and weekend excursion fun in the mud:



The new DD I replaced it with and am building up now (yep, bought it stock and had it lifted before I even got real plates!):



And the grocery getter for the wife and kids:
