Not a very clean pic but the best I have now. Bought this one new back in 95. It's the wife's daily driver and a great highway car. Well over 4000 lbs and can still knock down 23 mpg on the interstate. It's pushing 194,000 miles and still going strong.
Van in the background was my daily work vehicle. It's been sold for parts but was one tough workhorse.

I went from this 89 Honda CRX Si that I bought in 1996. Built a new 1.6L engine for it. Turbocharged it. 2000lbs, 300hp, 40MPG. This is the car I just sold to get my Corvette. 
In 1998 I bought an Acura Integra GS-R. Built a forged motor for it. Turbocharged it. E85. 30++psi of boost. 500++hp. It is by far my most powerful car. Still have it. It sits in the garage next to the Vette.
In 2001 I bought my first GM V8. A white 1995 Formula M6. I don't have a photo of it anymore, but I sold it in 2003 to get my first LS1 GM V8.....
A 1999 Pontiac Trans Am M6. I bought this car in April of 2003 with 70K miles on it. It has 250K miles on it now and is still my daily driver for the time being. The valve covers have never been off of this car haha.
And then of course.... the Vette.

I had a 2001 Dakota RT Single Cab.
360 ci
390 rear end
Lowered a little
Wider tires
I put the rear stripe on myself (years before Dodge did it).
That thing was spotless when I sold it (Pics are from 2006)
I wish I still had that truck. 14 MPG was killing me though.
I used to walk away from Mustang GT's.
I would have LOVED to slam it, remove rear bumper and put on a roll pan.
Painted flat cover on the rear, and a heads/cam setup.
My wife said I can only have one toy though...
