I drive a lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee when the weather is bad...like today...it's been snowing since last night, so some good tires and 4wd make a huge difference...Indy

Besides the 00 coupe, I have an 95 volvo 850 turbo wagon w/125,000 on her. Not broken in yet love the old girl she's like my pick-up. I also have a 2007 Lincoln MKZ to take the wife out to dinner in and drive to work.

I also have 2004 F150 Supercrew that i use on predictable rainy days and lifted 94 Wrangler for some fun.
But none beats my vette!!! Driving my F150 I feel like sitting in a chair-and I'm lounging in C5 baby...

What exhaust is that? Those tips look HUGE!

Diggin' the computer set up in the garage! I need to do that! Then maybe the misses will not get onto me so much about getting grease all over the house!

Here is my DD, 1998 C5



As requested, that is my garage in the back (I'd invite you in, but you wouldn't like it (just a garage))

I have a van that the company gives me to drive, I think it's a ford. For groceries and such we use the wifes Altima.


I never used to give the garage floor much thought but now I admit I am ashamed, it's just plain old cement.
