What are your OTHER rides?

man that wagon is awesome one of my favorite cars that i have ever owned was a1971 oldsmobile vista cruiser waagoon it had a 455 in it and i got over 20 miles to the gallon with on the highway hauling my race bike and all the stuff you need to be comfortable when your on the road wish i could get another one at 60 miles an hour it was barly off idle and it was just cool with 9 pieces of glass in the roof to let the stars shine in during the summer while i was staying at the track

the first car i ever built was a 327 auto powered 74 vega panel didn't make it 3 blocks before i exploded the rear end all over the place ended up puting a 9 inch ford diff. in it ,i owned that car after the heart transplant about a grand total of three weeks before some pot dealer freind of a freind came up and slapped 5 grand in my hand for it. so naturally hey i thought this was going to be easy i'll build another and maybe another after that. by the time i finished i had built 3 more and couldn't sell any of them for the cash i wanted so i sold all three to a guy for less then i had put into them and i've never made money on any car since. by the way i hate most cars i think i might have a problem

My first one was a '66 Caprice 2 door hard top with a 327 and a 2 speed power glide. I miss that car. My current car is a bit smaller. A little bit quicker too:

I just picked up a rough 1979 XS1100 Special, that will do nothing but be in my way for the foreseeable future. I always wanted one of these, and at $200 just couldn't walk away.

First car:
1972 Ford Maverick with a built 351W/Auto



One legger and sidepipes, and this picure is from 2001, not the 70's. :laugh:
I was in high school at the time.


This was followed by a 1969 Cougar 351W 4V, 1990 Mustang Coupe 393W(ran 11's), then a WRX(ran low 13's), a STI turbo'd Forester(also low 13's) and finally, today:

A Chevy C1500 Extended Cab (runs to the grocery store)



The wifey drives this:



Two kids and the wife's in school, so my KZ is my connection to sanity. If I don't have a project, I get bored. Cheaper to go fast and maintain than cars. I will build another car someday though.

A few of mine:

Really like the Bronco.

Here is my newish to me Blazer. I'll have a 350/350 in it this summer.


Here is my 78 or whats left of it. :laugh:


I used to have a 72 vega with a 327 in it. My first wife made me sell it.

Well, my 650C2 is already in my avatar so I'll leave that one out of this thread....

My oldest bike....but my last full resto....a 1973 H2. Sometimes ya feel like a nut........and, yep, those are real Lesters on it:

I'm currently trying to put another one together.....but it's sloooooowwwww.....

My second acquisition for my collection is another stroker from 1976, a Suzuki GT550. I wrenched these back in the day. A fun bike and not anywhere near as intense as a Kawi triple. I've had this one for almost 20 years now:

My latest ride....a "modern" 2006 Suzuki 1200 Bandit....with an engine design dating back to the first Gixxer of 1985. Sadly this was the last year of the oil/air cooled SACS-engined Bandits....they changed the engine entirely for 2007. BTW, this year of Bandit was not sold in the US, IIRC. It's a laff-riot to ride and is a good all-rounder, as you can see by the stuff strapped onto it for a camping trip I was just finishing:

My cage is a 94 S-10 extended cab with a 4.3 and a 5 speed....but it's getting long in the tooth
and sustained some front end damage last winter
so it's going down the road soon. Gotta get
another S-10....maybe one of the last of that
body style...2002 or 2003....

I don't know if you call it a ride when you can't ride it yet, but it has a bright future, not nearly this ugly anymore.

My main transportation is a 1984 Raleigh Technum 440 10 speed, but I also have a non-Mobil 99 escort.

Zombie can you say what your cars are please? I like all of them!

Here's my ZX9R. I've returned it all to stock since this picture was taken.

And here's my 1975 MC1B, predecessor to the KM90, awaiting restoration.
