hmmm...... I put my daily driver up on two wheels also, in an intersection- whoops! But, had I not I never would have camo'd it, so look at the bright side :) The bro and I just finished the bucket so we've been driving that every day <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

Well, I was driving her down a rural backroad, the kind that only has 1 and 1/2 lanes, no divider line. At the crest of a hill, I found myself face-to-face with a chevy pickup, and in that split second, decided that putting her into the embankment was prefferable to a combined-speed 80mph head-on.

Drove up the embankment, came off on two wheels, slammed her down, bent the frame, drove her home and parked her where she is.

I'm stripping the frame out of a 79' parts car for a transplant soon, I really miss that car...

Bolted on that new intake today... OH BABY!!! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_headbanger.gif" alt="Headbanger"> For $25 worth of parts and a couple hours in the shop, this was one big payoff! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile"> Feels (and sounds) like a whole new beast. Hehehehe! Now it's time to go have some FUN.

My daily driver is a 2000 Ford Super Duty 4x4 7.3l Powerstroke that is far from stock. Just pulled off the nitrous bottle as that habit is too spendy and was gonna get me into trouble. Soo much fun trashing these ricers in a 9,000 # truck<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"><img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> There's a time and a place for that stuff and with the ever increasing amount of traffic around here the street ain't the place.
Before that was my 86 M1009, before that was a '95 F250 that sat on 44s with a Kenne Bell supercharged 460, before that was a '78 Bronco with a mild 400M, before that was a '90 F250 7.3 diesel with Banks kit, and my first vehicle was a '85 Ford Ranger with a fuel injected 351 stuffed into it. I can't leave anything stock.

Hoo boy, my family, much to the chagrin of my Mom has a collection of ever-changing vehicles, over the years we've owned/or still own the following

-64' Triumph Spitfire (The car that proves dental hygene and soccer fan etiquette aren't the ONLY things the Brits can't manage)

-70ish International Scout II (Rusted away overnight)

-72' Ford Econoline (Dad's old van, traded it in when I was born)

-81' Datsun 210 wagon (Was trying to bring it back to life, but sold it on after doing a few repairs, I'm pretty sure it's a waffle iron by now)

-82' Honda Civic Hatchback (Rusted out, so we replaced it with..)

-85' Honda Accord DX (Drove that sucker into the ground, a horse ate the radio antennae and some of the paint, and I eventualy got it and drove it till the clutch gave up. That little 1.8L motor was BULLETPROOF)

-85' Chevy Camaro Berlinetta (Dad's midlife crisis car )

-87' Chevy Camaro Z28 IROC (Still has it garaged, in show condition, w/ 85K on the clock)

-78' Dodge D200 (My first car, but being only 2WD was a pain in winter, I was the family entertainment trying to get up the drive. It rusted away, but I kept it's motor)

-89' F-250 XLT Lariat (Kept it till it rusted away)

-90' Ford Explorer (Lemon, but decided to give FoMoCo a shot at redemption)

-93' Ford Explorer (Just won't die, 185K and still going, made 170K on the factory plugs)

-99 Ford Expedition (Leased, and gave back, Replacement side view mirrors are $200 a piece for them, ask me how I know that, go on, ask)

-83' AMC Wagoneer Brougham (Rebuilt from blown motor, and a 40mph head-on wreck, finaly ate it's timing chain and called it quits)

-83' Chrysler 5th Avenue (Lasted only a year in my Brother's hands, check your oil kiddies... or else)

-94' Plymouth Neon (2 years and counting in my Brother's hands. He's tried to kill it every way possible, including feeding it kerosene, no luck yet)

-88' Ford Econoline (My current ride)

-92' Dodge Spirit (Cheap "Freebie" commuter from family friend who was going to scrap it)

-77' Firebird Formula (Had it untill I pulled a Dukes of Hazzard with it)

-77' Firebird Esprit (Parts)

-79' Firebird (More Parts)

-82' Camaro (Project 6 banger w/ T-5 tranny that needs a V8)

-83' Porsche 928 (Blew it's motor, replaced it with a 383 Stroker)

-77' Lincoln Town Car (Land Barge we got from a neighbor who's wife wanted it gone. Didn't run, all it needed was new carb floats)

If you want to throw in my extended family, they're a lot more normal, though my Grandma still has her old Galaxie 500 :D
