Just wanted to show off my car!!

And in this one he is getting out of the car after inspecting the interior to make sure it's clean enough. (of course it was clean, until he left all his little black hairs everywhere )

Oops, forgot to say, nice car Tina! I know the SVO's were something special too, and Terry always waits for cars like that to show up when we're in our cars so he can play with them a bit. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for him, the Mustangs and Vipers and Porsches and such usually only show up when we're in our daily drivers. Terry is much more likely to do this kind of stuff on the street, although he has backed off a lot in the last few years. He realizes it doesn't make much sense to get in trouble, and possibly have somebody get hurt, so he takes it to the track now. Oh, and he used to race proffessionally, so he really knows what he's doing in fast cars - unlike me which is why I'll pass on all the street racing stuff.

Thankyou!! *LOL* my hubby don't street race that much anymore either. Usually we go to the track in the Spring/Summer.
My husband did race one of his friends about a month ago. His friend has a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe my husband beat him. And his friend ended up ripping the cutch out of his car while they were racing. Men they just don't know how to behave.

Thankyou Vermontcat!! *LOL* that is a cute picture of Tubby checking out the engine!! My hubby wouldn't like it to well if the kitties got on our car. Even though sometimes they do. They leave their marks on the car. Since we painted the car seems like they don't get on there. Of course I'm glad they don't.

Pretty cool!! Wish we had tracks like that around!! But we don't Hopefully next year we can go to the SVO reunion next year and run the car some.

Yeah, it's fun going to these events. Every year we have a gathering of ZR-1 owners in Bowling Green, KY at the National Corvette Museum. It's really fun because we get to meet up with a group of people that we know through the internet, so it's fun putting faces to screen names - kinda like when the PT'ers get together. We usually have an autocross event and some drag racing. It's a great time so hopefully you guys can make it to the SVO event next year and partake.

Oh, and my car is Polo Green (dark green) with saddle (tan) interior. I know it looks black in a lot of light. Terry's car is black with gray interior, but other than that they are almost exactly alike...except he has 20 more horsepower than I do...of course because he can't have a slower can than me, are you kidding?!?!

Thank you for sharing the photos of Tubby! Samantha was sticking to me like glue until she saw some new photos of Tubby, now she is satisfied and has gone in the other room.

The only cars Samantha gets to play with are my son's miniature collection of nascars.
It is nice to see that Tubby has a little Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt in him. Should we start calling him the Cat in Black?

Actually it's just that he can't stand to be away from us. If we're in the garage - he has to be in the garage. Terry calls him a garage rat because it's gotten to the point that Tubby knows when it's Saturday morning, and he will go sit by the back door and meow until we let him in the garage. And we don't want him in there alone because we don't want him climbing on the cars, so that means we have to go out there too. Usually I don't mind, but it's kinda cold out there these days.

I'm a big mustang fan! Well, I used to be more of one than I am now, but I still like them. Well, I don't have any pics to post, but my sister (Cincy'smom) and brother-in-law have a 1994 (I believe) Mustang Convertible. My brother also has a 1982 Ford Mustang but I think that ones kind of a piece of junk, it really needs to be fixed up. He's also got a really nice 1997 Pontiac Firebird with T-tops. He gets the gene for the Trans Am type models from my father who when I was born had his 2nd or 3rd Trans am, a 1979 model. From that model, he went up to a 1986 model with T-Tops and upgraded again about a year ago to a 1994 model with T-Tops. I wonder if I'll ever see the day that my father doesn't own a TA, I doubt it, but I'm not complaining. They are nice cars!

My car!

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

This is my car.....


I had always wanted a mustang but could never afford one.... I looove fast cars and I really really really wanted a mitsubishi eclipse spyder.... but I don't really like the new body style..... the spedomotor goes to 170 but I havn't had a chance to see how fast it can go..... like everyone else ... I don't need any tickets... soooo the car in the picture is the one I went to buy and that dealership treated us SOOOO BAD!!! Me and Eric left there so upset... I looked all over the internet for that exact car and had only found that ONE.... then my wonderful hubby stepped in and found that same car in a dealership in North Atlanta.. and we got the car I wanted for A LOT cheaper and with lower milage.... Next year I'm gonna put racing rims on it and a cold air intake on it to make it faster... .....
My friend in highschool had a 1964 mustang convertible... in EXCELLENT condition... wish I had a pic.... but it was metallic blue with a white top... and sounded soooooo good..

Sara, is that you talking??!?!?! I would never have guessed in a million years that you were into cars! I've always wanted a convertible, but it would have to be a 2nd car (ok, in my case a 3rd car) and that's just not too practical for us right now. We have a two car garage that has two Corvettes and two motorcycles in it right now so there's no room in there, and our driveway is a two car driveway that holds my daily driver and Terry's daily driver, and I don't think the Association would appreciate us parking a third car next to the gararge...it's more like they'd have a major problem with it. We are also in the market for a car that can be towed 4 down behind the motorhome - preferably a 4 wheel drive - so that would be 4 cars for me, not to mention Terry's 2. Not to mention the insurance and licensing fees - ugh! So for now I'll stick with my trusty ol' Buick with the Corvette as a toy - and keep dreaming about that convertible.

And I love the black and tan. If I were ever to get a black car, it would have to have the tan interior.

Yeah I grew up with my dad being a NASCARaholic... he always worked the races ... he drove the wreckers that would tow the cars after wrecks... so I have always loved fast cars... and last year the Petit Lemans came to Georgia for the first time and I took Eric for his birthday and now I am totally adicted.. I swear for two months after that I REALLY wanted to be a race car driver... We took a lot of pics.. I will have to use my mom-in-laws scanner... but I fell in love with a 2 million dollar Audi (can you imagine).... they wouldn't let me sit in it but I got my picture next to it... It was a lot of fun but those cars are soooo loud ... they blow NASCAR out of the water... they had different corrals for cars like Corvettes and Porches... and the hubby's fav.. Vipors that the fans drove to the race...
I looooove my car .... I wanted the black with tan top and interior.. and like I said found the one but have never been treated so bad... anyway I finally got it... now I am on my mission to go broke fixin it up to be my dream race car... ... don't give up on getting a convertible.... my last car was a convertible cavalier LS... and I didn't think it was that big of a deal until I was ready to trade it in .... then I realised that ... I would miss that freedom of putting the top down way too much... and the Eclipse Spyder was always my fav..... and I finally got it... too much hard work .... but I love it so much.
