Other than the vette,what other cars do you all throw money at?

[corsvette]

I admit-I am a cartruckaholic,just wondering what else you guys have to waste time/money on,i'll list mine.

1988 Buick Reatta, black coupe,unique in its own way,i think it was the only handbuilt gm car,dissapointing powertrain though.(3.8l 165hp)

1988 Dodge Daytona Shelby "Z" t-top 2.2l intercooled turbo-2 engine,5 speed trans,bought this a few years back from the original owner,as much the fact its just a k-car they are allmost imposible to find in good shape and left all stock,i do get alot of compliments on this car.

1985 Chevy silverado,loaded longbox 2 wheel drive,has 128,000 org kms,super good body and as loaded as a 85 could get,spent lots on it last summer,will be for sale this spring.

1988 Audi 5000 Quattro turbo,built like a tank,5cyl audi turbos are addicting,nothing feels or sounds like one,this is my ice racing car!

2008 Specialized stumpjumper pro hardtail,not a car,but a moneypit none the less,i managed to put over 1000kms on this mountain bike last summer,i love cross country riding,keeps a guy in shape too!

Coming soon- Looking at getting a 92-1993 GMC Typhoon,i wanted one of these so bad when they came out,i was not even old enough to drive,but remember "Motor Trend" magazine was raffling one off,i think i entered 8 times and prayed a would win!

I have the family too,kid #5 is due this spring,lucky our house is still new enough not to become a moneypit yet,the cars are kind of sanity keeper,and my two oldest boys (8 and 10)have interest in them too,however they would be much more pleased if i had a nissan Skyline with a four foot wing!

That Bimmer looks fantastic!

As for my stuff,

Vehicle number 1:
1985 GMC S-15 4X4 Reg Cab Short Box. Been in the family since new. Last year I replaced the box, doors, cab corners, rocker panels, fenders and hood. Painted it flat green and all the trim black because it's not worth much so I wanted to have fun with it. Now it gets some attention! There is a picture on this forum if you care to see it.

Vehicle Number 2:
1966 Chevelle, 396 4-speed car. Was two speed power glide. Installed a Richmond 4-speed so that it would be fun to drive. Still needs a posi rear end with some decent gears. Great driver, but will need to be gone through in the next few years.

Not a car but bikes:
Giant Ac2 with Rock Shox Boxxer Team Fork for when I go to the mountains, Norco Sasquatch for the city stuff and a Cannondale F800 for winter/singletrack trails.


PS, the Syclone is one of my favorite all time vehicles. Can't wait to see your Typhone!
