My toy for the next week
 

My wife's new car...Acura RDX with all the bells and whistles is not here yet and the X3 we gave to one of the boys ...so I was going to be short a car this week.
My brother was over and heard about it and told me to go by and pick up his extra car

911 twin turbo that is really fast!!!

He called me today to see if I liked it...I told him to start looking for a repossession company to get it back

Oh yea!

Plain and simple, I would be in jail !! Fast cars and speed have a problem with me since 14 years old... My uncle had a 1964 Galaxie 500XL with a 427 4 speed convertible..... Red with white top. Ask me how that changed my life !

Oh my. Well done. 6 speed manual?

Tip tronic but nice for the traffic in Miami

Shoot, I'm having a hard enough time with a zero turn mower now, let alone a joystick sports car !

Three calls

1 Hospital
2 Jail
3 Morgue

My childhood friends wonder how much a safe drivers endorsement
costs in Fl.

So today some guy in a fairly new Camero with all the "I look fast" accessories tried to get me to race him.

I'll pass in that but back in the day I would

My wife had a 996 as a second car. It was A LOT of fun and fast.

New cars are better
 

Had a 69 Charger with the 150 mph speedometer and yes you can bury the needle ! Scary part was trying to stop with the 10” MANUAL drum brakes! Had to let up and let them cool off thank God there was practically no one on alligator alley at 3 am back then . Funny how much narrower it gets? Thankfully new cars have brakes that better match the car

Two Corvettes
 

Sorry couldn't resist all the fast car talk My Corvette ownership covered a "61, '65 and '68 for a total of 34 years. We were not rich but Dad thought kids who got into trouble had too much time on their hands. Therefore he would finance them and I worked food stores or construction to cover the payments. My favorite was the '65 fastback with a 365 HP 327 with solid lifters and Muncie 4 speed. With a 6500 rpm redline you could downshift into 3rd at about 75 mph and shift back at about 100. A sweet machine.

Beautiful car!

I may be in this one this week

Keels and wheels
 

Yeah the motor in there now is a bit much for the manual drums

I got a ticket in the mail for 40 points in my youth.
First charge was attempting to elude.

Why the mail?

Beautiful car

Lol sold the Charger to a buddy of mine . He was driving and learning the car when we ran into a guy with a GTO that wanted to race .Ok I’ll tell you when to shift 3:23 gears so 1-2@70 mph 2-3@118mph then hang on till the needle stops! Any way we had the GTO easy going East on Sunrise Blvd hit the Turnpike overpass and shifted to 3rd (727 B&m automatic) at 118 and saw the red lights and kept going! Cop stoped the Goat . Days later my buddy run into the goat owner and asks he about the cop— cop asked who owned the Charger —I don’t know. Why didn’t you stop him—- hell buddy he hit 3rd at 118 and was still climing when he went over the bridge .told the goat owner he could catch him but dint have a chance catching up with the Charger! Miss that ride

454...ford 9" 3.70 posi....torque monster.

That’s a beautiful ride

Some beautiful rides up here. Especially love the mussel cars and hot rods. I recently had this 74 Triumph SpitFire passed down to me a few weeks ago.

My brother had one of those years ago in yellow with overdrive on the shifter knob.
