    I've never owned a plane, train, or snowmobile, but just about everything else the drives. Dont like donk or new vehicles. I like oddball micros, dirt bikes, rods, customs, RVs, and boats. I enjoy a show with variety of vehicles.

    i'll be honest. i can appreciate all things mechanical that have been modified in some way. my daily is a lifted 4x4 that i love. my wife has a saturn vue thats got the honda v6 and awd. that little bastard gets it for its size/class and has claimed a number of victims off redlights.

    i think anything that is built well deserves some attention. my heart lies with hot rods and customs. muscle cars killed the home built hot rods but i still like them for the power and image. plus i think alot of the muscle car parts work well on older cars so it never hurts to have a working knowledge of what cars had what parts. chevelle master cylinders, 4 spds and pedal set ups, spindles, even radiators and trannys all work well in older cars. i think writing a car and its parts off just because it was made after a certain year is a little close minded.

    if it fits and it works i dont really care what it came off of. if someone took the time to build it and its cool i think thats cool too. but for me i want a hot rod/custom.

    I like bomb style lowriders and muscle cars up to about 1972. I also like most stock restored stuff, especially from the 1950's, and even more specifically, ForwardLook Mopars.


    I'd like to see a pic of this. Below is my '73 220 Diesel. I like old Benzes, so classy and so cheap to buy.

    I like pretty much everything. Except the donks. I totally don't understand those. I mean, I get nice paint, but the 32" rims?

    Here's my Scout I sold about 6 months ago. Bedliner inside and out, 345 V8, 33" tars, lifted, etc. Never had it stuck.

    [​IMG]

    Here's a little something I had that was tons of fun. Rear wheel drive, 260 hp, perfect 50/50 weight balance, like a go cart on rails. Simple intake, header, exhaust mods and reworked suspension. Wheels and tires finish it off. It's what I call "sports tuned". It would outhandle anything under $100k.

    [​IMG]

    Here's a bike I built. '69 Triumph, hard tail, springer front, kick only, etc.

    Basically, I can appreciate anything with style. Two wheels or four. It doesn't matter.
