Cars

[RichardZ]

So, currently or back in the day did you have any interesting or fun cars?

I had over 50 cars over the years. Some were pretty hum drum and forgettable. Talking to you Pinto station wagon with fake wallpaper looking wood on the side.

Others have been a lot of fun. Two Pontiac Grand Prix's with superchargers. Two 1966 GTO convertibles. One Datsun 240Z and a Fiat sports car. A 1959 Chevy Impala convertible.

Currently, for my birthday, I got a 2006 GTO. Pretty fun car and I love the rumble.

1965 Fury III convertible was and is my favorite. Man I had a lot of fun in that car.

My first car was a 1965 Buick "Wildcat 445." That thing was a boat with a V8 engine and a ton of get-up-and-go. Problem was in 1980 (the year I got the car) gas was around $1 a gallon and the car had a 30-gallon gas tank. That was a lot of money back then (especially for a high school student who had to buy his own gas). And as you can imagine, the car got lousy gas mileage. It was fun to drive, though.

Porsche 924. Really loved that car. BMW 2002 and 318i. Now driving INFINITI G37x. Lots of horsepower. I had the 924 while I was still in Manhattan and then OP.

My favorite car is my current Chevy Impala...it has an electronic security issue and over 215,000 miles so I'm not certain it will start when I first turn the key everyday. It gets 30 MPG though and I pay about $220 annually for insurance. I use it like a truck and I carry metal to the junk yard, haul straw bales, limbs to our burn pile, two by fours and ladders. I will probably replace it with a Camry or an Accord or use it as a second vehicle later this year.

Might try New Rockies kit for the security issue

Thanks...maybe I'll get somebody to install it. But there's something adventurous about wondering if your car will start or not.

1966 Buick Skylark Gran Sport. Candy apple red, four on the floor and a Wildcat V8 with 401 cubic inches and 325 horsepower. It had lots of pep and the prettiest whine in a transmission I've ever heard. You could hear that whine all over the city when it was in lower gears.

Had a 2007 Chrysler Crossfire convertible. This is a two seated roadster and it's one of the prettiest cars you'll see with top down. You can see a red one on the Farmers Insurance commercial where someone parked at a construction site and they released a load of concrrete dumped into it.

Currently own the best car of them all. This is a 2016 Dodge Charger R/T with 375 horsepower, eight speed automatic with sport mode and paddle shifters. The color is called plum crazy and it matches K-State purple almost to a T.

This intrigued me so I had to look it up. That is a nice-looking car.

Learnin' I have seen the Charger in Plum Crazy. Sharp!

I also like the one in Army green with the red brakes as accents.
