Unchecked Car Enthusiasm~

What's your favorite car?

 

I have mentioned before that my hubby & I have a thing for cars, especially collector ones. Our love of cars is not lost on either of our boys.  Ds1 is a Mustang diehard like his mom.  Ds2 loves all things Corvette & can not wait to begin his own collection. 

 

My hubby bought me a 2005 Mustang GT Convertable least year.  She is my baby.  I cried when he handed me the keys.  I only have 4000 miles on her & try not to drive her in the rain. She is deep red w/black interior.  I used to drive a 68 Mustang white/red interior when my hubby & I dated. I sold her for $1000.00 back in 1988.  She needed alot of work but how I wish I could have held onto her.  Had to make other decisions at the time.  So I've pined over that one & the 82 Turbo GT black with the racing package that I totalled being very stupid which is what I had before I got the 68.  My parents had a 64 1/2 when I was a kid & I've always loved it.  I would love to someday get a 641/2 Mustang Convertable & several others.  The Saleen & Shelby's are also on my list. 

 

My hubby on the other hand is a Camero nut!!!  His mom had one that he raced around & wrecked.  Then he had one himself that he had to get rid of before I came along.  He has a picture of one on the refrigerator so I knew that in time I would see him in one.  He just bought a 68 Camero SS.  She is body off restored.  Clean as a whistle & with her brand new 350 engine has a sweet rumble sound.  She has a  pristine Tuxedo Black paint job you can see your reflection in.  He has his eye on the new Camero that is about to be available in 2008.

 

It's definitely a case of "Unchecked Car Enthusiasm". 

 

We have about 60 more days of driving here in MN & then it's time to put them in storage for the winter. 

 

Have you seen the movie "Cars"?  It really is a fun one for the whole family.  It's my speed anyway.

 

I'd love to hear your stories~

Aug. 9, 2006 - Ah when I was young and spry

My dad has redone cars all my life so I have been around them alot. Mustangs are his specialty but he did a thunderbird red and white with matching interior that won alot of prizes. If I could get that one I would. I really do not enjoy driving the older cars as they are stiff and I like the new smooth shift and brake. I had a 2000 Dodge Stratus all my own and it was a 2-door sport model in red pearl coat. Ooh I thought I was something driving the country roads at high speed cornering as sharp as I could. Now my teen is trying it and I am horrified. He has no experience. I enjoy new cars but my hubby likes trucks and with the large family we have a Tahoe now. Its fun and I feel safe but sporty in it. It sure beats the conversion van we had when all 6 kids were with us.

Thanks so much for your prayers and kind words. Mom is now with the Lord and no longer in pain. I couldn't have born it without all the support.

P.S. 2006 redfire mustang convertible--black top.
