@TinaChow: My thoughts exactly. I want that bike.

Brings back memories of a '71 Datsun pickup I once owned. I always liked the earlier 500-series pickups better than the later models... the styling of the 600's always looked kinda wimpy to me. I don't remember the exact mileage it had, but it was pushing 200k. The previous owner had dealt pretty severely with the…

What's with the black between the doors and front wheel arches? When I saw that on the silver one earlier I thought it was part of the mule disguise. But now it shows up on the yellow also? (didn't see photos of the red one until just now; that one has it too?) Going the route of the 1st gen Honda Element? Ick.

I just listened to Dirty Duck's story; on that post you mentioned that he "died on the road nearly 20 years ago- in a Super Cobra Jet 428 Torino"; is this that Torino? If so, why are you even asking the question? Get your butt out to Wyoming and bring it home, and damn the neighbors with their petty complaints. Or…

This is a tough one. Of course, either choice would get vetoed by the CFO (aka wife). But if I got a magical $100k and wanted a divorce really badly I'd go for the Aston (or something of my own choosing with lots of go-fast potential); my dreams would come true ever so quickly.

Even though it's easy for me to say, since it's you that'll be doing the work, I'd say go for it. I would if I were in your boots. Make it beautiful and give the keys to Murilee Jr. when you're done with it.

That is quite a find! I'm handier with wood than with metal, and looking at the photos, it doesn't look like it'd be that difficult or expensive to build one like it. A set of heavy casters like that sell for a few bucks a piece at the Big Box, then some nice 1x oak, some 3/8" oak plywood, and a hunk of leather & pad…

What? No VW underneath?

No great loss on the BMW, as I'd go for the Merc anyway. Empty engine bay is a perfect opportunity to really wing it with an electric motor from AC Propulsion. Now wouldn't that be a trip; a Mercedes that neither smokes nor clatters while sitting at stop lights.

Ach du lieber indeed! What was in the back of that thing anyway? A solid block of concrete?

@LamerX: And you don't have to worry about getting a ticket for parking in a handicapped spot.

Wasn't Cooter the Duke boys' cousin?

The Chieftain takes it, but only by a narrow margin over the Dodge's Ram.

@FreeMan: Just half of a V12. ;o)

Who could pass up that dandy Chevy II? And all the frame work almost guarantees hell for the next owner.

I saw something very much like this in a small-town-Minnesota parade this summer. Must've used a mile or so of exhaust tubing building it. It'd be a fun thing to build, but dang... Where would you store it? The thing was a good 15 feet tall!

First the wagon and now this. I can tell it's going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. I think I'll move to Australia.

I went Audi, because there's no way I'd be paying $20k+ for something as butt-ugly as that Maserati. And it looks like I'm not alone; 22 minutes to go on the auction and 0 bids. Don't suppose the snooty New Englander "considerable... regular maintenance" warning had anything to do with that, do ya?

Nope. Not voting any of them out. It's a fantasy garage; fantasize that it has auto-expanding walls and can encompass anything and everything your little heart desires.

In the Great State of South Dakota, the official car would have to be a white Caddy Seville with red flashing lights on top and an effigy of former Governor/Congressman Wild Bill Janklow at the helm. A crushed Harley underneath would complete the picture.
