I miss my baby so much...

Now, now - did not want to be mean. This one is not too far away and may not go for much - hence the poking. Awd too!

This guy's down from $10,900 (pg 305) to $9200 - hmmm...the drivetrain alone would probably cost as much, eh?  For $7500 I might consider it...helluva donour car for say a nice 80's 6 series coupe. Or if you maybe could find a Factory 5 kit...or any number of other uses.  Hell, it might even be fun to drive as is.

Maybe someday it could be worth a small fortune!!

Yeah, my winter beaters need to be reliable for our climate. A 26 year old Alfa...as much as I love them, it would be extremely optimistic to think it could make it through one winter.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Those LeBaron convertibles looked sharp, as did the LeBaron GTS and the Lancer.

Not a car ad, but it was found on Facebook.   Get that smooth, no bump ride!

Now you are just rubbing it in!

The Q4 is lusted after, it is a Delta Integrale with a trunk...

1982 Dodge Mirada

One of the best looking cars in the 1980s Chrysler line-up.  I seem to recall a 318 V8 with a 4 bbl carburetor was a Canada-only engine and it made the Mirada a strong runner.  This car has t-tops!  Love the road wheels.

aww yeah, American workhorse with the 75mm. Great infantry support tank, fairly useless against German armour in '44. Need the 76mm with the better round to punch through Panthers.

Still awesome to see. Loved working on one at the CWM a couple of years back...and I might again in the near future  :shuffle:

How does 1mm make a difference in ammo that size?

My old man who was  a tanker in the WWII ( in the  North African desert long before the Sherman was introduced)  said that they use to be called Ronson  after the cigarette lighter as they would light every time.
