Sitting at home bored and noticed that there seems to be some car fans on this forum, so I figured I'd try out a topic for those individuals. I know my car is my passion (other than torts of course) so feel free to share stories, pics and anything else car related that you'd like!!

I'll start!

Here is my baby a 2006 Mazda3 and the car I hope to own someday a Dodge Viper:

Hey Youngster:D Very nice cars, I have had some old VW bugs and an old VW safari van. I also had a 65 plymouth Baracuda that I bought from the original owner. I wish I still had that car

Very cool! So I see you and Jeff share the same VW passion. I think they are nice, my dad used to have 2 bugs when I was a little girl and we would work on them together! :)

My dad was a big car buff. He bought and restored the older Ford phaetons. While I was growing up we had a 35 and a 36 Ford Phaeton. When I was in high school I used to cut school and "steal" my dad's car and go joy riding along the beach (in San Francisco). I didn't have a license. I'm sure lucky I was never caught. Well, by the cops, that is. My dad did catch me one time, but that really didn't put an end to it. :p


This is what the '36 looked like, only ours was black:

What a fun thread! Here are a few cars we have and love! The pink car is our friends he built. It's one of my favorites. We are fixing up the yellow 57 Ford. The next step is the electrical which is not my husbands favorite. He bought the car for me 2 years ago. I can't wait to drive it.
