What ELSE do you drive??

[TigerStang]

My eclectic grouping:
1996 BMW Z3 - was my daily for 15 years or so.
1972 Eldorado - 8.2 litres / 8 mpg. Like driving a couch down the road. You just float. At ~21ft long it is surprising cramped in the back seat.
1919 Dodge Brothers - 4 cylinder, you work both feet and hands to drive it (double clutch only). Top speed 35. You feel like you are diving a bar stool at 75 because of the 33 inch wheels. Brings a smile to everyone around it.
2015 Mustang GT - my daily in nice weather. Top goes down every time.
2011 Mercedes E350 - wife's car and use it when I am blocked in. Hauling co-workers to lunch. Etc. Nice road car and very smooth at highway+ speeds.
2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL-E. Handy without the bulk of a full size. I know it is a NART but it has done everything I have asked for it towing, hauling, off road.

If you sell the 944, please let me know. I have had numerous new 911’s but have always wanted a clean 944.
The 911 you built is beautiful.

Will do. The Jury is out for me on the car until I put in new shocks/struts. I will be back in the DC area this summer.

To OP: I would feel bad for that 90-yo original owner that his car is gonna swap hands so quickly again for a quick buck... but I get it. Hopefully you can find an owner who appreciates it. Beautiful collection, though.

The Jury is out, I may end up loving it and keeping it. I have a set of Koni Sport shocks/struts on order and will put them on next month, and then a good alignment and corner balance.

This summer I will drive it to his house and take him for a ride. That will be a 1500 mile round trip, and I'm sure I will know at the end of the trip. The motor is tourqey and revs butter smooth.

I'm liking it much more with the Fuchs rims, and the car is growing on me, but just isn't a car I have longed for. It is a gem and in near new condition, and now that it is running and running well, just needs a few more things to convert me..... I even had a custom euro plate made to match the antique plate.

Wife has the 22 Kia Telluride...objectively the nicest car in our house...fit and finish far beyond Mustang and has all the bells and whistles. Kid has a 17 Subaru Outback. Finally, I have my beater 18 Nissan Versa...cheapest new car around...has crank windows lol but it is paid off and perfect for shitty weather days and going places I don't want to park the mustang.

I’m in Md, so that could be perfect.

And forklift certified.

Actually my good friends garage. He has everything including a forklift...... Only reason I get to keep my car hobby is because he stores my toys. I serve as "curator" and part time detail guy. And track support when we take his vintage indy cars out.

Hang on there................ What do you have on the top rack? ;-)

Nice collection, and love the lifts. I am putting in a single stack in my retirement Garage.

The Nova was a great car, and the C3 looks great.

My DREAM car is a 68 C3 Vert, Dark Metallic Green Paint, Camel/Caramel Interior, 4 speed and the 427. I will have one one day, even if it is one I build/rebuild. I love the C3, is my favorite of all Vettes.

Oh, Ditch that girls car ;-) Unless of course your wife drives............. Gotta keep momma happy.

Bulldog - the top rack cars belong to another good friend, the Vette has been his since High school. The Nova is a father son project with Hotchkis suspension and other goodies. He's a former Indy car crew chief and he is building some amazing machines. Look up Hammerhead from SEMA this year.

As far as the Miata, it is a blast to drive. We live in a town with over 140 roundabouts and it makes each one a blast. I love my SVT Cobra and my 20 GT500, but as the adage says it is more fun to drive a slow car fast vs a fast car slow. With the Miata I won't lose my license and I don't worry about parking. I bought it to teach the family how to drive a manual.

OH3Cobra,

I get it, the Miata is a fantastic platform, I was just poking fun. I totally get the slow car fast. I have a Porsche 912E (4cyl 911 & 135 HP on modified motor) and an 89 944S2 (al stock and 200HP) Both are momentum cars and a ton of fun. I have a 2020 Bullitt and like your GT500 and SVT, go to jail speeds come way to fast and easy. I can bang between 2 & 3 all day and stay deep in the throttle and be at 'keep my license' speeds in the P cars. Not so much in the Bullitt.

You and your friend have beautiful cars. If I ever am able to get in a Vette, unless it is complete and original, would do a resto mod, throw away the stock suspension, do coil overs, etc. I retire this year, and once my garage is built and make momma happy I will start looking for that project.

Drive safe!
