    I gave up racing a long time ago. Had a 72 Vega that well lets say was no where near stock. We were the machine shop during the day and at night well that little hotrod was our toy. 350, w/ 4 bolt main, pushing roughly 1200 horses at the wheels. We got rid of it shortly before we moved the shop, and pretty much got out then. I ran a Harley drag bike for a little while, I pretty much got away from that when I built my bike. I had the drive belt from the primary come off and spank my ass, almost broke my hip from that, hurt like a royal Mutha'. Good times...

      My ride is a 2005 GMC Savana AWD Van. After driving AWD Aerostars since 1990 when they came out, I've always wanted a full-sized van with AWD. I got it with everything they had for accessories that I wanted. I have the left-hand doors that are no longer offered. I was always worried about having too few choices for bailing out of the van in an emergency.
      It has OnStar, too. With only the second rear seat in, there is over 7 feet to the rear doors. It's my/our RV when I put in all of the necessities.
      It has a 5.3L (325 cubic inches) Vortec engine that gets around 12mpg around town and 15-16 on the road at 80 or so MPH. I have the best Radar Detector for when I'm in a hurry -- the Valentine One, which tells you the direction and how many bogeys, not just "Beep".
      It's a great vehicle for travel and has a 31+ gallon tank. I drive it like a sports car around town. I have almost 30,000 miles on it and it will be six in August. I got it in September -- fast order... shocked the salesman.
      I like having "space"... my own... wherever I go. If you're not driving, you can move around and do stuff.
      I hate flying anywhere and would rather drive, but my wife works and we don't have the time to drive to Colorado to see her folks. I would love to carry all of my Kahrs out there and show her relatives how they shoot. That's the only trouble... I can carry anything with all of that space... and I try to.

      That's my next rig your driven Wynn. I'm a devout GM man, just always got along better with them. I was thrilled when they came out with the AWD, us derelicts don't get around too good in the snow and ice. A few more years and the used ones will be in my price range and I'll sign up for one. It's kind of tough getting a new rig, gotta get blessed by the state, they pay for the needed equipment, but I gotta pay for the van. The one I'm in now, the equipment was around 20,000 on top of the van itself. Gotta do the bid thing, go with the lowest bidder, not a lot of them out there to choose from either. Gotta make em last. Ole blue which I donated to the fella without insurance was about 18,000 for the stuff. So it was like a 2,000 dollar van with 18,000 worth of stuff in it. I felt like a free loader for awhile but then was informed that paying into Labor and Industry insurance was not an option, it was mandatory and for carpenters at the time, very expensive 5 or 6 bucks an hour between employer and employee so I paid my dues I guess. The state lost, well actually I guess we both lost.
      If you part with that rig Wynn, let me know, I'll come down and get it. You can keep the radar detector...................

          Those are nice. I have a friend that has one and he has been studyin' the owner's manual for 6 months trying to learn how to run all of the goodies.

          Nice ride!!

            Nice ride!!
            THANKS yes it is a fabulous vehicle we've had 3 diff caddy's, this is the 1rst time with the suv series.
            she said as she gets older having the extra ground clearance is a piece of mind, but as usual if the snow gets too bad she'll take my p/u with 4x4.
            this is our 2nd AWD Caddy the last was a 07 STS AWD & there great for show & performance, now add rain/snow & 4in of ground clearance makes for a insecure piece of mind.
            as for reading up on all the goodies well let's just say that's her job, this is a Premium series & when they say every option known to man kind there not kidding.
            if i did'nt talk her into getting rid of our 99 STS she probably would still have it, it was FWD & drove great with a amazing ride & comfort but when she hit 120k i thought it was time to move on.
            the Northstar engines were amazing & lasted very trust worthy, but when something did go wrong well you better have a bank roll to fund your issues.
            3 weeks after getting our 07 STS she said i don't like it & i wan't my 99 back i just laughed, we got the 07 in late fall & the 1rst snow we had she came home from work aallllll p!ssed off & said here you drive it.
            so i said well it's AWD it should be good in the snow right??? so i took it to a open Lowe's parking lot to see what she was talking about & let me tell you that thing snapped around on me without even thinking about it.

                              Finally parted from my '92 Ford Ranger. I sold a Honda Accord my wife drove, gave her the CR-V I drove and bought a daily driver. It holds my 6.5" son and his son's car seat in the back with room for his other son too. 28 bags of mulch was easy. Four months old and acorn dings on the hood. Not new any more. 😏

                                We spend so much on ammo and pistols, we can only afford older used vehicles. Our last new car was purchased in 1989. Currently driving a 9 year old daily driver. We did upgrade the wife to a 5 year old Rav4. So we are making progress. Some day I might own something I feel photo worthy.
