It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

My Grandfather bought 3 Lada's in a row because they came with an extensive toolkit. He never questioned why they needed said toolkit.  :D

1992 Dodge Daytona IROC

It was my first car, and I went from a manual transmission V6 to a 4-banger automatic Integra.

And it was RED! :cry

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Best performing car I ever had (suspension-wise) and I regret selling her.
This is a pic (6 years after I bought it new) the day before a young lady drove it away:

64 Impala SS, 409/425 4 speed. Was a clone, not an original car, the original small block and automatic were gone when I bought it. Absolutely bad car. It only got about 6MPG, because I never let the two Carter WCFB carburetors close. Sold it to my brother, and bought a brand new 1980 Z-28 4 speed car. It got about 14 MPG, but between the payments and the insurance, it cost more to keep. I sold it 18 months after I bought it. My brother had already blown the 409 up. Or I'd have had that car back.

Diablo I got the middle one, but I colored the hood vents with a black permanent marker DOH


personally I LOVED by first car, 1980 Monte Carlo Custom. White with blue interior, console shift, bucket seats, wood grain console and dash, full gauge cluster. Only thing it didn't have as an option was power windows, and the 305. (It ha a 267 V8, i know WEIRD size and way underpowered). If I ever win the lottery I am going to find one, rebuild it to look factory stock, but beef up the drive train and make it a kick-ass sleeper :aok


looked just this:
