Here's me. '05 Mazda6 S hatchback. This car replaced a Lexus RX300 and is just as loaded with options, and has been a substantially better car, in my experience!

The only winning move is not to play.

I'll play along too, but I don't have any pics in my new computer yet to post in this thread. I suppose if someone really wanted to they could search through my older posts, as pics of most of my rides have been posted here before.

Current setup-

81 Camaro. Street legal and runs low 10 second 1/4 mile times.
79 Z28. Just a cruiser, not going to be a race car. Fairly stock 454, shooting for mid 12's on 87 octane gas.
68 SS396 El Camino. 396 and a 4 speed. Car has been largely ignored for the 17 years I've owned it, but it's going up in value as it waits it's turn for restoration. Overall in great shape, a true survivor car, and one of 5108 SS El Caminos built in 1968
79 Blazer. 14" lift, 44" tires
91 Blazer. Last of the old K series Blazers. 9" lift, 38" tires. Wifey's truck.
98 Z71. 3" lift, 34" tires and 215,000 miles. Wifey's daily driver, also doubles as a plow truck and tows the hotrod to the track.
93 Cavalier. Wifey's beater when I'm using the Z71. One owner 80,000 mile car with ice cold A/C.
94 Plymouth Colt. 1.5 mind boggling liters of power, this $200 car has been my beater for the last five years.

Previous setup-

Not enough bandwidth here. Probably numbers somewhere in the 40's. Mostly GM's, and the bulk being Blazers, 4x4 pickups and Camaros.

My (very dirty) TrailBlazer SS. All the comforts of home and a 390HP L6 Corvette engine. I've backed out of it at around 120MPH. Holds an Ampeg stack and a baby seat equally as well. That's how I get groceries.
