Don't feel inadequate, I'm cheating. You will notice there is no "wife" in the list of things I drive/ride  The only part of my life that says "you can't have one of those"...is my checking account. Makes it a little easier to collect crap. And, most of my buying was done years ago. I bought the 91 Daytona brand new in 91. Satellite in 92. 89 CSX in 93. 87 CSX in 96. Wrangler around 99/00. I just...keep stuff forever. Well...motorized stuff, anyway (Message edited by ratbuell on January 07, 2015) | ||

These are my latest toys. I like to buy in bulk to save money. Do you suppose this is this a sign of aging?    I think when I put the Uly and the Corvette on a trailer behind a motorhome it balances out the "blue hair" thing!  | ||

Sooo- Vern, are you taking on of those to Glitch Badness? | ||
| Brother_in_buells |
Vern ,do you still have that international truck? | ||
| Etennuly |
It looks that way. At this time the wife is looking to go, this is her way to camp.....you know.....TVs, queen bed bedroom, living room, full bathroom, shower, hair dryer and accessories, cooking stuff with oven, side by side ref freezer, ice maker.....you know.....CAMPING! I hope gas prices are still down at that time! | ||

The Scout.....yeah.....seems I'm as bad as Ratbuell with my collecting.....I'm still married though! Owning a Bodyshop has me into buying too much stuff too often.  Like I bought both of those motorhomes the same day. A bid here, a bid there.....shit piles up!  The new Camaro RS is my son's. | ||

Thump- prior to the Javelins, what were those early AMC motors musclecars? My HS GF's dad was into those... | ||
| Etennuly |
Brad, early 60's muscle cars were big cars. AMC(Rambler)had a '66 Marlin that was really their first muscle car era cool hotrod. I remember going for a test ride in a new one with my dad. It was the red white and blue version. I don't know why he did not buy it. He was driving a '62 Rambler American Wagon that he traded to a '64 SS 327 Impala. He was looking at trading it for the Marlin and he test drove the '66 Dodge Charger. Somehow he went for a '67 Dodge Polara 2dr with a 383. Then a couple years later he traded to a '70 AMC Hornet with a 304. The "Pony cars" got their start with the '64 1/2 Mustang. Prior to that the Corvette was the lightest fastest production unit I can recall. Ford tried to match it with the T Bird but it quickly became too heavy and loaded with luxury doodads. Chrysler guys had the Dart and Cuda with big engines until the Challenger came along. Camaros and Firebirds came out in '67. The Javelin and AMX came out in '67~ '68. No wonder I loved cars when I was a teenager! | ||

OK- I'm gonna have to Wiki it, but the AMX was what I was thinking of. Body not much bigger/different than a Mustang, the Javelins were quite a bit bigger IIRC. Made in Kenosha WI, once one of the "Big 4" motor companies, along with GM, Ford and Chrysler. I remember that, no need for Wiki. Kinda wish I had a Gremlin to drive around- my true love is a Z-car though. Saw a 260 last weekend, started drooling, thought I'd hang around and see if the owner would sell for decent $$$ then I saw the "antique" license plate... dang. | ||

How's do you like that zero Jose? I went to look at one with my brother in law, who is seriously considering buying one. It was dead of winter, so we didn't get a test ride, but I was impressed everywhere I looked. | ||
| Etennuly |
Javelins were a two door that had a rear seat, the AMX was about a foot shorter with no rear seat. One of my buddies had a '69 or '70 AMX with a 401 4 speed. That thing would fly! Fun funny thing about most of these cars were the factory tires. Bias ply tires that were usually on 14" rims and no more than 6" wide. Sure did produce a lot of tire smoke. Traction sucked! My dad's '70 Hornet with the 304 did not have a posi rear. On level ground, without power braking, you could punch the gas and it would not even move. It would sizzle that right rear tire creating billowing smoke clouds. Well that is what it did the first day I had my license when I was sixteen. Dad must have found out somehow. He made me buy my own car for my second day of driving solo. | ||

An '02 Civic EX with 146,000 miles that is really pissing me off with it's overheating, and my '96 S2T with 57,000 miles when the weather cooperates. | ||

Dad must have found out somehow. Did you clean the rubber off the quarter panel? | ||
| Etennuly |
Did you clean the rubber off the quarter panel? Of course I did!  The wheel well also. Maybe he noticed that 1/8th of the tread of his new Firestone Poly Glass belted tire was melted and gone. Or he may have noticed that the crap he carried on the under dash package shelf was not all in the same order. Or one of the neighbors saw it happen in our small town.  | ||

Bill, Love it so far...  Different in every sense.... | ||

I don't do red... but oh, I'd dig that Ram SRT-10 for hauling bikes around. Sideways  The colour looks just right on that. The Zero looks sweet too. They're available here now, I should go check them out  | ||
| Reepicheep |
The Zero's look SOOO much better in person then in any photo I have ever seen. I can't wait to ride one. If they were a $5000 used bike, I would have one in my garage. | ||
| Desertdan |
how many actual miles can you get from your house on the Zero ? I have looked at them for a year or so but I need a 100 mile range to be cost effective at all. The salesman tells me less then half of that at 65mph ? | ||
