An 89 Falcon sedan, plus i just recently and perhaps foolishly sold my XC Falcon P/van which had a warmed 302 with 4 speed toploader in canary yellow, it could rev all the way to the redline in top gear.

1994 Mazda B4000 (225 HP 4 litre). Four Wheel Drive. Need Tires that work though. No traction except in 4wd.

I need to get to work on the '73 Javelin in my folk's shed. Need it mobile for my honeymoon next fall. The Javelin's

room mate is the '66 Dodge Charger (383 Police Interceptor) that I was brought home from the hospital in as an infant.

No, we live a little ways north of town, but my dad has talked about that place. He's heard of it, but we've never actually found it.

Can you give any general directions?

For four years I drove a HUMVEE (or Hummer,or HMMPWV *official name-High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle*) in the Marines. M 1043 - M1045 models,350 diesel V8, top speed 45mph, without the governor about 90mph. They weight about 7,600 lbs. Now I drive a 1983 Ford F100 with a rebuilt 5.8l 351m V8. Holley four barrel carb, Hedman headers, and c-6 transmition. A real sleeper. The fastest I've taken it is about 125mph (the speedometer only goes up to 85.) It eats Mustangs for breakfast.

Damn, looks I'm the only one with a sucky car, or maybe I'm just one of the honest ones.

I should have said I drive a 99 black supercharged, 700 hp Dodge Viper. But, that

would be lying.

: As much as I wish I could say I drove a cool car, I don't. My car F'ing sucks.

: its an early 90s Ford Escort station wagon. Still, it beats having to take the bus..

: I just got out of grad school, so when I finally get one of those career things, I'll

: buy something cooler.

: : A 1973 SS 350 Chevy Nova, and a 1989 Nissan Sentra
