I'm sortta there;
I obsess of '67 Camaros and '68 Chargers. I won't buy a new one for $30k, but if they gave me a loan for an old one. I think of buying a '70s Corvette frame and build it from the ground up. When I see those sport roof Torinos, I have problems. I dig the detail body line of E-body Challengers. I've been this way over American muscle for years. I've building the closest thing to a RA/IV TransAm that I can + some.
What's new is I Love Silvias and Fairlady Zs. The FJ20 sends me into tizzys. One of those RWD Celica GTSs from the '80s would make any day brighter. Who thought a Corrola AE86 GTS could handle like that. The Devil Z - Wooooo, I want one. 4G63 - that's just awesome. Vintage Cult status JDM. The Skyline GTR.
Holdens, Vauxhalls, Opels (I wanted this Opel Manta so bad to put a turbo Wankle rotary I have in - Too sweet, but no room). The Aussie Ford Falcons and Chargers.
I'm gonna watch those Toranas and Falcons go at it again at Bathhurst in the '70s ; They turn right and the car are built from street cars.
The danger of a mid-engined car, leathal at the edge. The rear engined Porsches with the motor out back; I don't know that the cars were ment to be driven at the edge; That's crazy how it swings when you close the plates. I'd like to build a Ferrari 512S; Lol Just run and hide from that monster. The Porshe 917 K - WOW! - Dominance. The GT-40 - Dr Evil wants to build some sleds!!! The Countach with a 1" steel tube Space frame. The Miura - Wow; How buitiful can a car get? The 365GTB4 Daytona - It's like a Jessica Alba who never had a child, never ages, and follow your every command with the utmost passion.
Vrrrrooooooommmm!! Ha Ha Ha!
Weber IDAs, DCOE, Direct injection, Hemis, Turbos, 4-valves, canted valves, wedges, straight cut gears, dog clutches, Adjustible 2-way clutch diffs, Dual A-arms, IRS, stepped headers, Capacitive discharge, BOVs, Roll cages, Chromemoly spherical bearings, It just goes on and on.
But the there's the car **** in me; No convertables, sunroofs,(get ready to cringe!) T-tops, targas; just leave my roofs solid. No autos, A/Cs, carpets headliners, back seats, passengers, radios. I can't stomach a FWD ; I'd rather walk than own one and I've proven it.
So there you have some of it; CarCraft and HotRod since I was 10, thousands of model cars, I collect car parts apperantly. Anyone else have a dry-sump pump in their bed room? 35 and still loving my cars; I say that normal people pick their hobbys, My hobby picked me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of somthing automotive - ever. I'm not sure I can carry on a conversation about anything else, I know I don't want to.
