Doc,
Nice collection. Is that a '71 or 72 LT-1 Vette? I'm assuming that the 1974 Camaro is a Z28. We had a 1974 Type LT. It was my wives car.

I almost bought a new 944 in 1984 because I liked the design but instead bought a 1984 Vette with the Z51 suspension. That was after I had given back my 1984 Z28 5.0 HO to GM. What a "Lemon" that car was.

The BMW looks to be a 7 series. Nice ride!

I'm guessing the truck is for towing and getting through the snow.

Say...wait a minute. What is with all the GM products?

You're alright by me....I like people with open minds and like cars of all makes. I'll try to find time to post some of my old stuff.

Still can't figure out how you guys put the pictures up like this...LOL

Our monthly "Caffiene & Octane" in Atlanta is on the the 1st Sunday. This little Pontiac blends in better with all the exotics that show up. The most common comment I get
"I have never seen one of those"

Funny there were two of them on Woodward Saturday night. I do have some pictures from our Saturday morning gatherings of a dark grey GXP coupe. It was an engineering evalution car. (CTC sticker on the windsheild)

The bad part about the coupes is that while the top is removable, making it a Targa top, there is no where to store the top. You had to BUY the optional folding soft canopy. Or duct tape some plastic over you if you got caught in the rain...LOL

I was lucky, the 1st owner bought the top and it came with the car. It is a PITA to put together and you would get soaked before assembly & installation. A good bit of wind noise also. Mine is a GXP & manual shift. As you said we are getting old when A/C and a comfortable ride determines which car you take out. The little four cylinder is a world apart from my 64 GTO 428 3x2 4 Speed

It's a '72 (the lower compression one). It had an M-22 Rock
Crusher and Gymkana suspension but manual steering and brakes.
Quite a looker and a runner but sadly not a driver....very harsh.

Yes a Z28. One of two. This one's an automatic....snapped off every
shift in drive at 6500 RPM....very satisfying. The other was a gold one
(no stripes & a 4-speed) that I ordered new.

Oops! It's a 3-series....with full Dinan electronics. Yeah...a little
bit of a German car habit here. Missing in action: Audi 4000s Quattro.
Brother-in-law and best friend both have Audi RS6's tweeked to 540+ hp.

Garage can get a little crowded.

Nothing like a Duramax for towing those Haulmark trailers!

Oops again! My office is in the Chevy store of the consortium where
I work (not a real Doc like you!). We also have Ford, Honda, Nissan,
Toyota and Scion. I drive a desk and take care of training,
warranty and personal in the operations department.

Younger brothers are (very) active in the serious Mopar stuff these days.
Two Dusters, Two Darts and a '63 Savoy are in their garages. Brother
Denny builds custom K-frames and has sheparded many a Hemi A-body
conversion to fruition. His new ride has an all-aluminum 426 with a/c
and overdrive on the custom aluminum case A833 4-speed. Headers
are "clear ceramic" coated.

I'm embarrassed to zoom in on this fact, but the Mopar A833 is the trans that came in my Chevy pickup truck...

I never knew that!

It also came in every 340, 383, 440 and Hemi car from the musclecar era.

Bet you never broke one.
