An ol' beater was requested, so that's what you'll get. (;

My dank, college, ride; the 2001 Saab 93.

I am a shop foreman at an Audi dealership in Boston, but I had my Evo for 12 years before I sold it last year to buy my MK7 GTI.

I still miss it, but the GTI is a better car.

dang....Vaughn has got us beat. Generally what does something that size plane cost? I was always curious
I bought it for $70,000 with only 300 hrs on a Kenmore Air overhaul (TBO is 1600 or thereabouts as I recall). I flew it about 600 hrs and sold it for $90,000. Had a lot of fun (was on a remote island in Canda on 9-11, which was not fun) and made a little profit, although airplanes are expensive to maintain. You're flying over populated areas so not maintaining them properly is not an option, IMO.

You guys gotta try open cockpit. Most fun I ever had in a plane! Went barnstorming with an old WWII pilot in his biplane. We had Cessna mostly growing up.

I got things with engines. I even have a couple of cars but I like my water toys better :D




I also have this "Massive" 2 1/2 hp dinghy motor. :rolleyes:



I got one of these a couple of weeks ago to get me to the boat. :D



I keep looking for some old school muscle on here. Like a GTO, Roadrunner, Chevelle...

Those were real cars. I was an Oldsmobile mechanic and the 1968 442s were my favorite car.

Now that's a car. A friend of mine has 5 or 6 Model A Fords and a couple of Model Ts. I can get one for a very good price but here in NY I need a garage for it and I don't want to leave my new car out and let the Model A rust. If I could find another garage, I will get one.

I was so excited to see this Ford that I knelt down (for picture purposes) on Arizona heated asphalt! Forgetting it was 2000°, burned my knee, still took a picture!

:D I am glad you did. Beautiful car. Those were the days when a car was a work of art.
