my favorite was my dads 69 vette T-tops with a race built motor in it.

O MAN I LOVED THAT THING!!!!!! i smoked the crap outta the tires all the time....
tho to bad my young stupid @ss didnt check the oil and the mechanical oil line came loose and i burned the motor up..... LUCKELY it didnt throw a rod and just trashed the bearings so i had to buy all new bearings and seals for the motor and help my dad rebuild it..... tho i still got a @ss whoopen and a stained Tshirt when he threw the dry dip stick at me.LOL
WOOPS... leason learned tho!

Sorry it took me this long to answer, but I was really busy at work and driving cars I can't afford. Anyway, I work for a company that does a lot of logistics for many car manufacturers. The above picture was taken around the time L.A. autoshow was going on. I was asked if I wanted to be in an SLR photoshoot for an upcoming ride and drive event we were organinzing and of course I said yes! We handle press fleet for Mecedes, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep and Subaru. So if you ask if I drove certain model of any of those the answer will be "yes" including the new STI, not to mention the fact that I also drive Maybachs.

I forgot about this one....

Not as much fun as the cobra, but unique.
My buddy has a 89 or 91 M-spec Skyline with the RB25DET in it and he took me out drifting in it and it was insane. according to the G-meter in his car he ran a high 11 second quarter mile with wheelspin up until 2nd gear.

Either my car, or an 02 Corvette.. not sure what trim or anything but I pulled it off the lot for a test drive and up to the light. From there I went 0-60 in prolly about 5 seconds all in first gear. That thing was fun!

I drove an S2000 which wasn't bad either.

I recently got a job at a detailing center and I'm seeing cool stuff all the time, soon I'll be delivering them so hopefully aMaserati will be added to my list soon!!
