You posted a picture of your Maserati right under it. The page before that has pics in the snow at Big Bear Mountain in SoCal several years ago. Here they are again. The last is a photoshop version by my wife from a beach camping trip in San Diego. We have a copy of it hanging in our bedroom.

codemaster94 Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 These are pics of my 2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude Plus from the dealership and with a bunch of water for my old job. It holds a lot when the seats are down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it for 6 years. Gas, oil, brakes, tires, one alternator change, and one coil pack change. I love it almost as much as my Memorymoog. I wish the Memorymoog and the Maserati had such low maintenance! Edited September 23, 2020 by Dadrian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss that car, a true blast to drive but it was Just sitting in New Jersey while I’m living in Toronto. With 2 cars and only a 1 car garage I don’t have any room for it up here so it went to the good home of a Mopar enthusiast in Ohio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreyH Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I have been a member on here for some time and always enjoy checking in on this site to see new posts. Since I was a big fan of Miami Vice back in the 80’s when I was in High School, I remember I would have given anything to own a McBurney Daytona when the show was on. I have been “window shopping” for the right car for about the last five years but the deal or timing was never right. I was finally fortunate enough to fulfill that dream and found the right one to purchase a few months ago that had been owned by a Dr. for the last 26 years. I am just starting a major mechanical restoration (new Engine) with some additional cosmetic upgrades (exterior & interior) and I hope to have it back on the road by April 1st, 2021. Since this post is to show our cars, I thought I would add a few of my Daytona in its current State in addition to my work Mercedes S550. Any suggestions or words of wisdom from the forum during my Daytona’s upgrade process would be both welcome and appreciated!

Party_car1 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 My 2013 Mustang rag top. Between the car with the top down and some of my wardrobe ensemble, even at 57, I still get the looks from the girls. Bouncing around Phoenix with Vice tunes playing and dressed in "the style" is a fun time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRemington Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 This is my newest ride, a 1982 Dodge 400. The other classic cars are not mine, but my friend's dad's. I bought it from my friend's dad who has been like a father figure to me since I was about 12 or so. I've always loved these and the LeBarons of the 80s. Such a fun little car and I really love the design. Believe it or not, it's been one of my dream cars since I was a kid. Only 66,000 miles on it! I bought it just last weekend, when it was about 65 degrees. This baby is near flawless and I will never drive it in the snow and salt, I will only drive it in warmer weather. Sadly, as winter is approaching, she's gotta wait in the garage until spring comes. It was a lot of fun driving it home and heard some 1982 hits on the radio on the way home. The first song that came on was Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby" and I felt like I had time travelled! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 I have a 2002 SLK-320 that I love to drive. Expensive to maintain and not as much fun to get in and out of as it use to be. I'd like to get something bigger inside, but I don't know what that will be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(it's on page 1) The car was a blast to drive and the little turbocharged, intercooled 4 banger held it's own against the Mustangs and Camaros of the time. Good luck with it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IA-SteveB Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Here is one of mine, the most Vicey of the stable. It is a 2001 Honda S2000. A ton of fun to drive down twisty roads. This rear wheel drive has the engine completely behind the front axle giving it perfect 50/50 weight distribution. It can pull some G's for sure.

Yeah, they definitely are underrated! I used to have a 1988 LeBaron (4 door hardtop), but sadly somebody smashed into me and that killed it. I’m glad to finally have a 2 door convertible (which was my dream). The 88 one was already a little banged up and rusty, but still a nice car. Your Daytona looked really cool, as well as the Duster!
