        I've got to give honorable mention to my favorite old beater - the '86 Country Squire. It was just too fun, especially in the winter, to not worry about driving over the occasional curb, or through the woods, or ramming the occasional snow bank. And oh, the fun of rear-wheel drive in the Wisconsin winters - one time I actually took a phone call start to finish while spinning donuts in a huge open parking lot. Immature, you say? Yes, I suppose so, but oh boy was it fun πŸ˜„wta (27).jpeg
        Now I've got to apologize to those of you who are doing your part to save the planet. I'm afraid I am not doing my part with this one... My dad and I have been working together on our '69 Mustang for 17 years now - he bought it when I was 10 years old. We plan to paint it this winter. We've fixed or replaced just about everything but the rear-end gears and the paint. Rebuilt the engine a few years ago (351 Cleveland - for those of the metric persuasion, that's about 5.85 Liters after after a slight bore and stroke job) and put in a Tremec T5WC manual trans. We decided a long time ago that it's better to get the mechanicals in order before painting it up to look pretty. Nothing against those who choose to do it in a different order, but I didn't want to have the beautiful paint job with blue smoke coming out the tailpipe... or sitting broken down on the side of the road (though I had my share of those experiences too). I've learned a lot over the years from my dad while working on it. Some more details for those who might care to know: I estimate it's putting out 360hp and 390ft-lbs torque - never had it on a dyno or timed it at a track. My dad and I also designed and fabricated Shelby-style tractions bars.IMG_0975 (Medium).jpeg
        Before the local activists track me down and let the air out of my tires, I will note that I often drive my wife's car to work to offset my mileage at least a little bit. And I ride my bike whenever I can, too. The car is an '05 Hyundai Elantra. It's dark blue - if you want to see it, type the following into Google image search "dark blue 2005 hyundai elantra". πŸ˜„ The bike is a Yukon Giant - nothing special, but it's been good to me and is tough enough to survive 5 years on the UW-Madison campus (45,000 students makes for a lot of bikes on the bike racks and I've seen plenty of bike skeletons laying chained to a rack due to negligence or vandalism).

        Peace,
        Nick

            Like Susan, I went to the web for an image, but here's a near copy of my "8". Fourth, and best, Mazda I've owned, and the first brand new car I've owned in 25 years.

              PS: A couple of weeks ago my friend's girlfriend
              asked me if I knew what was the difference between
              a Porsche and a Porcupine ...... I'm still trying to
              figure it out πŸ˜†

              I'm sure you've figured it out already Mike. I think she must have been upset with you, see below for the answer, incase you're still wondering...
              In the case of a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside. So I think she was insulting you. 😞

                  165,000 miles and going strong. We have a lot of Summer fun practically living out of this SUV; camping, biking, hiking, festivals and all. Also very good in Wisconsin Winters. Very practical and comfortable vehicle.

                                1. he works at Google... working on the greatest program ever...

                                2. he has a garage with more toys than a child on christmas...

                                3. he lives in colorado in a wooded area obviously...

                                4. his econo car has more horse power than my V8 Truck.

                                5. and he's like "bruce lee" healthy...

                                  "The best is a "rain demo". In the rain, the tires slip very predictively and can actually maximize the car's acceleration without being overwhelmed with all wheel traction. In other words, I can slide the car, and while all fours wheels slide in a drift, the turbo continues to spool smoothly and when the tires completely hook up, the turbo is at full spool at max torque...it's like being shoved sideways and then shot off an aircraft carrier!! She's a good car!
