Vehicles I've known

I figure posting vehicles would be better than Girls..

1968 El Camino- My Dad's. I learned to drive in this 3 Speed Chevy. The only requirements were to reach the pedals and not hit anything. Luckily I had an area that included curves, hills, intersections, and everything else needed, but with little traffic. I own it now. Original Ash Gold and Tan, but painted Blue since the 70s. Probably will be painted Candy Apple Red or back to it's Greenish Gold.

1978 GMC Truck- I took my Driver's test in this. I did well so I suppose the El Camino training worked. I spent many days driving the GMC out to the Hay Farmer's place and loading up as much as it would carry, and hauling it back to the Ranch.

1970 Dodge Charger 500- Originally a 318 Butterscotch (Correction- Cream Y3)Car, I bought it painted a nice Root Beer Brown. I Tee-boned a AMC Hornet with this car and the witnesses said it sounded like 2 Sherman Tanks hitting each other. No it wasn't my fault.
I had it repaired and changed the color to a really nice Burgundy. It was striking with it's White top and Western Cyclones. I sold it, wrecked again, after I was rear ended by a lady doing her check book while driving.

1970ish- Plymouth Satellite 4 door. I purchased this car for the 383 that I installed in the Charger. Sold it within days of making the engine change.

1987 Mitsubishi Might Max- Cool little truck that was cheap to buy and was my first new car. It was stolen out of my driveway and rolled a few blocks away. They caught the thief, but I never got my deductible back.

1988 Dodge Dakota- White with Blue Interior. I figured I better stick with an American truck since they weren't stealing them at that time. It was a perfect running vehicle till the day I traded it in.

1964 Chevy Corvette- White with Black Interior. Never drove it much, since it always overheated and something always went wrong with it. 4 Speed and a pumped 327. Actually this car was owned by Jimmy Houston the Fisherman on TV. My Brother in law owns it now.

1994 Dodge Ram 2500- My most favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I still have it with over 240K Miles on the ODO. It's starts every time. I relegated it to being what I call my Home Depot Truck. I drive it sparingly and more often than not, just down to the Depot. Blue and Grey.

2002 Dodge Ram 1500- White with Dark Blue. My current truck. I bought it when the miles started to climb on the 94. Great Truck as well.

1950 Dodge Sedan- My Street Rod. Never did a a lot with it. Red with Black and Red Interior. It already had a 318 V8 12Volt conversion done to it. Sold it back to the original owner.

1966 Dodge Charger- Project car. Originally KK1 Turquoise with Black. Poly 318. I owned this car for 3 years and drove it only a few feet before starting a restoration. Got bored with it sitting there and sold it last year.

1979 Dodge Magnum- ST1 Lt Cashmire with Tan. 360/4bbl. My "Fun" car. I don't drive it alot either, but still have it for now. Very clean survivor and has taken 2nd in the local car show. I lost to a brand new Dodge Challenger.

1979 Chrysler Cordoba- same as the Magnum's power plant, but Dove Grey with Red Interior. Never had many plans for it, but I couldn't let it be destroyed. I have it for sale, but the market is slow. Nice vehicle though.

I haven't included the cars I bought for my wife's daily drivers. I don't remember the model years but they were as follows:
87ish Dodge Colt, 88ish Ford Aerostar, 91ish Ford Aerostar, 2003(?) Honda Civic, 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, and now the 2007 Toyota Camry.

Oh...I own a 2005 Dodge Neon too. If my son would ever save up his money to the point of buying it, I'd be more than happy to sign it over and strike it from my insurance policy.


I've known but never owned 2 airplanes. I just flew them anytime I wanted or had the cash to.
Triple 6 Victor was a 1975 C172. Fantastic airplane and completed my flight training in it.

Zero 2 Uniform- Older model C172, probably 1972. I last flew PIC in this aircraft.

I've flown (although little time) in 2 others and it was dual.
77 Hotel- Nicest 172 I've ever seen and a T210 that for some reason I didn't record in the Pilot's log.

I feel I should put all this down while I remember it, but it's safe to assume I've forgotten one along the way.
Posting vehicles, instead of girls also has a side benefit in keeping my marriage intact........
