My first car in 1976 - a '74 Camaro Type LT w/custom paintjob

In high school used to "borrow" my best friend's dads '66 El Camino (I later bought it and still have it)

My best friend drove a '73 Triumph Spitfire (bright yellow) - you could literally hang your arm out the window and set a beer can on the ground - with as low as it was I doubt I could haul my arse out of it today

Another friend had a '56 Bel Air with a steering wheel the size of a sailing ships wheel (or so I remember it)

Can't beat the dark green '53 Buick I used to drive around in - You can NOT BELIEVE the size of the back seat.... (oh the days gone by)

My current ride (I have an understanding wife):


But I am VERY lucky - my brother-in-law is the head mechanic for the National Automobile Collection in Reno NV - and I get to help out any time I want - I have driven some beautiful automobiles including the James Dean Merc from Rebel Without a Cause - Sammy Davis Jr's Dussenburg (replica Dussy) - Frank Sinatra's '61 Ghia -

Here is a picture of Lana Turner's Chrysler from last year:


Fooling around in a La Franceicon Fire Engine:


I have driven one of a kind cars (Aeromobile) and very limited production cars (1914 Detroit Electric - '33 Chevy Master Series Phaeton) -

I also volunteer at the Silver Auction at Hot August Nights in Reno - so I get to drive the cars for sale - we have to stage them from the holding area up to the sales block - - so I have driven everything from old T-birds, corvettes of every age, chevy's, fords (always loved retractables), restored and modified - - - even drove a custom Harley up to the block (scared me to death on the slippery flooring) -

So I guess you can say besides guns - I'm a car nut - -
