Hold your head high soldier! But no need to apologize for the derail, it is not a heavy chat, just a little fun.

I loved this car. 1968 Kharman-Ghia. The only problem was the engine was in the trunk and one day, I got rear-ended and they totaled the car. I was heartbroken.



I bought a 1974 MGB Roadster after the loss of the Kharman-Ghia. I guess I had a thing for small, sporty, convertibles way back when.

This was my fave vehicle. I had the hard and soft top. I was the only woman in my home town driving this type of vehicle and a stick shift. I would often wear the scarf on my head with sunglasses and red lipstick! My version of Hollywood vibe! Dresses were no problem in an open vehicle like this, just had to keep the skirt tucked tightly under the outside of the thighs!
I will replace her someday!







First but not last bike. She will also be replaced someday!

Started customizing my Jeep! Side step bars and Zombie killer front bumper all put on this week! Both are in powder coat black.

[Tawse]

My fave is also my current. Custom ordered after achieving my 100 pound weight loss goal 5 years ago. Grabber Orange Mustang GT.

She's in my sig and my avatar and I've talked about her a lot. She's referred to as either "The sexy car" or "the mustang".

Have done quite a few "show" mods - and will hopefully be able to start some "go" mods soon.

Mods so far:

Installed a "stubby" antenna (4" [the shorter the sexier for antennas lol])
Painted factory mufflers flat black (don't like seeing mufflers - it annoys me)
Engine Dress kit
Several interior dress kits
Replaced front Chrome Mustang with a Black Skeleton Pony

First thing I want to do "go" wise is install a CAI - K&N Has one that allows you to still use 87 octane and with the price of gas now days - that's my language. lol

and on that note - I'll step out. I could talk about my car for hours... literally.. hours. I've bored a LOT of people talking about my "baby".

Love it!

My parents are/were all about the bench seat. We were a Honda family, but they had to change to Ford Tauruses and then Buick as they got older b/c the bucket seats hurt their back! My Dad says that the cars don't last as long (I am proud to be a part of a "drive 'em til they die" family), but at least they are comfortable!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Congrats!

My car is in the shop getting mods right at this moment. I will definitely post up pics with information in the next week or so after I get the car back (new coilovers are coming from the opposite coast, so it is taking a while). I am so pumped!

As an aside, your engine bay could be a bit cleaner, don't you think?

[Toughy]

The first car I ever bought was a brand spanky new drive off the showroom floor 1972 blue Toyota Celica ST. I bought it at the Toyota dealership in Clarksville, TN when I was stationed at Ft Campbell, KY. It cost me about $3000.00 bucks.

I don't have a pic of that car, but I did find this picture which is really close to what mine looked like.

The sad part is I totaled it less than a year after I bought it......a drunk asshat ran a red light (on post) and T-boned me....I walked away but the car didn't. I went out and bought another one exactly like it except the color was a darker blue..............


ps.......how the hell do you get the pics to show in the post?

LOL that's in store for Friday... have another mod coming in and as soon as I get it - a wash, wax, and semi detail is in order. It does look very sad... lol

I was screwing around with you more than anything else! Doesn't really look that bad at all, I was just betting on you being OCD about your car. Do you have a car forum that you frequent for mustangs? I'm on bimmerforums for my BMW.

Toughy, that car is really, really great. How long did you have the darker blue one?

Can someone else answer Toughy's question? I don't know how to do it, I was actually just going to get my partner to do it for me!

[Toughy]

I still to this day think that was my all time favorite car. I had the second one until 1976.

I traded it for a 1970 Chevy El Camino. I don't remember why I decided I wanted an El Camino, much less a used one, but that's what I did. It did have the side rails on it. I'm thinking it was because I had acquired a wife, a dog and a house. I guess I needed the appropriate vehicle so we could go camping and do all that stuff you need to do to have the American dream. It certainly was not a muscle car or a hot rod car for sure or a car to attract the girls....<grin>

Today..........laughin.................I drive a lesbianna car...1998 Subaru Forester....I got it after my 1998 green Ford Mustang got T-boned and totaled (I walked away from that wreck also). I don't have much luck with hot cars....

so back to y'all and the heavy metal cars......and I also thought this thread was about music when I first read the title....laughin....
