I'm 69.

Are you serious? I've had too many cars and bikes to list, but here's some of them that were interesting, frightening, or I wish I still had. This is sorta' in order.

1949 Chevrolet 4 door sedan - first car, Dad, (he's 95 now), bought it for me from a garage that used it as a loaner. Totally rebuilt. I took it out on the dirt roads in old Phoenix just to see how it would do. It pogoed. This was in 1964. I think he got tired of me pushing his new '64 GTO down the street at 2 AM and going for a ride.

1932 Ford 3 window coupe with a 301 cubic inch Chevy V8 in it. '39 Ford Zephyr gearbox. I had to hold it in 2nd, because the shift forks were about worn out. Fast car, didn't weigh squat. I used to pass guys looking at them because of the short wheelbase. Cheap gas back then.

1955 Chevy 2 door coupe. V8/3 speed on the floor. I traded my Deuce coupe straight across for this in high school. I just wanted something else. Probably wasn't legal because neither I nor the guy with the 55 were old enough to enter into a contract. We didn't care.

Army, 1965-69. Vietnam 1968-69. No cars. Too busy staying alive.

1963 Corvette split window coupe. 327; 4 speed; no air; black interior; navy blue paint. I bought this in 1969 just before I ETS'ed for $2K used. Who knew it was gonna' be worth so much? Sold it for ~ $1700.00.

1971 Camaro RS. 350/Auto/white.

1969 Corvette 427/4 speed. Torque.

1981 Chevrolet Citation X-11 4 speed. Surprised a bunch of folks in this thing. Big fat tires and it handled great. Couldn't keep motor mounts in it, and the rest of the car was junk. Try and find one now.

1975 Kawasaki 900. Holy crap! Introduction to superbikes. This one ended up as an 1132cc AV-gas motor with a spun aluminum rear wheel from Kosman. We put a 15 inch VW wrinkle wall on it and sheet metal screwed the bead to the rim. Wheelie bars/struts in place of the rear shocks. Trailered to the dragstrip. Best of 10.32 @ 133(?), in 1977.

1981 Suzuki GS-1100. Street bike that was as fast as my drag bike. First thing I owned with 4 valves per cylinder.

1976 Mercury Capri II Rally Cat. 2.8 V6 4 speed. German Ford. Not fast, but a great car. I bought this almost new from a guy who couldn't keep it from overheating in AZ. I had the radiator replaced with a larger Lotus Cortina aluminum piece and that cured it. Then I had the suspension bushings replaced with polyurethane pieces, and I could throw this thing anywhere and it would just be totally predictable. It got T-boned while parked on the street by some zoned knothead recuperating from a GSW. Another one that is very hard to find.

1974 Camaro 350/350. I had this one apart several times. Rancho road race suspension on it they no longer make. Heavy kidney bruiser.

1990 Acura Integra. 4 or 5 speed, don't remember. I could not hurt this car. Amazing reliability.

2007 Lexus IS 350. Surprisingly quick, but too many electronic Nannies.

2003 Kawasaki ZX1200R. 200 horsepower. TRE/4 into 1/EFI. This one was frightening. 6 gears, 12,500 redline, and it would do 81 mph in 1st. The front end washed out in Prescott and broke my collar bone, some ribs, and gave me a bit of road rash. I was 63, and the wife said "You're done with two wheelers, I need you alive". A bona fide 200 mph motorcycle.

2013 VW GTI. Fun. DSG. I had it tuned and lowered. This car loved 93 octane gas in San Antonio, TX. Light the fronts up easily. Traded it off for the GTR. I'd like this one back also.

2014 Nissan GTR. Unbelievable. Nearly as fast as a superbike. Even the computer was a performance oriented item. Launch control! Wow. I sold it because I could not take it anywhere. People want to see underneath it, sit in it, take a video, etc. Instant celebrity status. No thanks, but I miss it.

2016 Mustang GT PP MT82 and a 2016 Mustang EB PP Auto. Lots of fun. I'm keeping these for awhile.

I left out the trucks, dirt bikes, and boring stuff.

God bless,

Frank
