Yeah, I've been lazy about posting pics of my cars only because there's always 1 or 2 of them dirty. I am going to try my best to get a group shot of all my cars for history's sake. I will never own this many cars at one time. I don't have the time and patience to clean 4 cars in a weekend AND maintain them all. 2 cars is good for me and my Dakota is getting old so I need a new daily driver soon to replace it with. I'll probably sell my '92 blown vette and truck so I can pay cash for something.

I'm actually kinda liking the Soltice GXP (260HP turbo) It would be a fun daily driver, and CHEAP too!

He's got MORE than enough money to take it to Gary Kouba (he's only about 15 minutes from there.) SO I'm writing up a "care manual" for him personally.

1.) You must take it to Gary once a year.
2.) Keep in garaged in the winter.
3.) Only take it to get washed by people using microfiber.

We'll see if he takes my advice. Swirl marks and such don't usually pop out at the layman's eyes but I will be riding his a$$ to keep it clean or I told him I'm stealing it back from him on the basis of principal!

Sheeesh, I wish Gary was closer to me. Sounds like good steps to include in the sales contract. That way the repo can be legit if he doesn't take care of it!

Oh god don't say that.

I would be sick if that happened.

I never thought about the other person not taking care of it as well as yourself (duh)…..and you live so close that you observe its demise. That really would suck. I guess all of my rides that I’ve sold over the years have gone off to never, never land. It would be very hard to see an old beauty that you lovingly took care of trashed.

Don't forget the Prius option. Are they still calling wanting you to be their official spokesperson?

Or worse, never come to fruition.

Through my late teens I spent hours and hours in the garage modifying a REALLY good condition Chevy Monza (rare to see in good condition) by ripping out a V6 and putting in a 350-400HP 327. The car needed some attention but it was meant to be a driver. I had it on the street for about all of 1000 miles and then tucked it away in the garage for years.

I sold it to my friend a few years back hoping he would get it on the street where it belongs!

Well.....he went the opposite direction. He ripped everything out of it, stripped the interior and all suspension components and was getting it ready for sand blasting.

It would've just been nice to see it on the road....Now I have to wait ANOTHER 10 years to see it again.
