Sports Cars and Other Toys

[scottrob]

This is the one that got away. When I was dating my wife - was all good, got married and something had to go. Hmmm, you think I made the right choice?

Just Kidding Kristi - if you're reading this Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

This is a 1980 930 Turbo Porsche (Gray Market Car)
Had 28k orig. miles when I got it in '97.

Many $$$ and upgrades later: Approx. 650 HP, 2" add'l drop, 200MPH car and an absolute 40MPH+ monster

Just thought I'd share...guess it wouldn't have pulled my Nautique very well up the ramps...huh?

Definitely wish I was able to get ahold of the guy I sold her to.

scottrob, u'll have to post a pic of the wife before i can tell u whether or not it was worth it lol. j/k
that thing is pretty, and with 650 horsies i'm surprised u are able to type. i'd either be dead or paralyzed lol
i've got a 87 924s that i intend to restore, but not sure i ever will lol

[NautiqueJeff]

Yeah, that Porsche rocks! I had a '67 911S and an '84 Carrera convertible.
I also still have my first car, a 1967 VW Beetle convertible.

Here are a couple more shots of the Porsches.

Well, since everyone is now posting their sports cars, this was mine untill I sold it after I bought my truck. 1988 300zx with 225,000 miles and it still purred like a kitten, the engine that it. The tires would scream like... well... something really loud! hehe!

I sold it to a friend of mine who wrecked it it 13 days later. :evil:

Now this is my toy!!!

It's not actually mine though. It's a friend of mine's who lets me fly it for free! Can't get any better than that because I don't have to pay for maintinance or inspections! hehe.

NautiqueJeff - Bet you are wishing you still had that 67 911S. The old S's are pulling in some serious dough right now. Currently I have an 85 911 Carrera RoW model. Tons of fun.

You know it! I was a fool to get rid of that car. It had some wiring issues, but nothing that I would consider major now. I sold it after owning it for only 2 years. I have owned a few cool cars, including two E30 BMW's, the Porsches, and the VW, and the 911S is the one I still kick myself for getting rid of.

[scottrob]

I honestly never liked porsches until I saw & drove the 930. That wide body is unreal.

There's a lot to be said for a high powered turbo like that - carburated engines simply don't compare.

[jhiestand]

surroundsound64, is that a Cub? That rox!

[surroundsound64]

surroundsound64, is that a Cub? That rox!
hehe, close!
It gets called a Cub a lot, but it's a Cessna 140.

[SNMike]

Does 0-60 in 5 seconds, 450HP, and four doors count?? Yellow_Flash_Colorz:

[M3Fan]

Not really a speed machine, but nonetheless I'd be driving it now if I didn't have to buy a tow vehicle! 99 E46 323i Sports Package 5spd! Awesome car, loved the rims. Again, the //M3 will come one day...

[gotwake]

Lost in divorce -
It sure was fast! Love to have it back....

[MacedayDave]

Well, since you asked, here is my "off-water toy." 1964 Corvette with Original Paint, Original Interior, and matching numbers (original engine/trans/rear end). 327/300 HP w/ 4-speed. It has received a Top Flight award from the National Corvette Restorers Society.

[scottrob]

MaceDayDave - that is VERY sweet!

My dad has a 1962 Vette with 32k orig miles - very cool cars. Definitely do not make that like that anymore.
He's got a '99 and '04 also and don't come close to comparing with the raw HP.

Impressive!

[MacedayDave]

Scottrob,
Thanks! I have also had other Corvettes while owning the 1964, but I always kept the '64 after selling the others. I just love the styling and performance of this one.

However, I have had the opprotunity to drive a new 505hp Z06 Corvette for a few days, and THAT is an awesome car. It's the first new car I have driven that has the raw performance of my old drag race Camaro, plus it can turn and stop!

[Hollywood]

It sure is impractical, but fun to drive.

[jon4pres]

Here is one of my other toys. It is less practical

[jhiestand]

Hmm... an awful lot of non-American representation. Not very patriotic!!

My bowtie. PDT_001

[sperbet]

My old toy, had to go to make room for the boat. Still miss it.

[FLCERIK]

Every guy must have a SUV, Boat, and a Sports Car

[Andrew]

i've got a 67 and a 64.5 that i've got waitin to be restored. urs looks nice

[hundo]

These are my off the water toys

[Hollywood]

hundo knows how to have fun! All these drop tops are making me sick, it's 2X degrees here.

[hundo]

Thanks hollywood, I love all motorcycles. Some of the harley guys hate the crotch rockets and vice a versa. Don't be a hater is what I tell them

[surroundsound64]

How quick is the Suzuki?

[skijones]

1965 Galaxie Convertable, 35k original miles. Had to get the wife a bigger convertable because she did not like my 83 Mustang Convert.

She puts up with the boats and the cars, so I thought she needed a toy.

Also have a 1929 Dump truck with 15k original on it

[hundo]

The gsxr1000 is "wicked" fast unbelievable power and only weighing 365lbs

I agree 100% :mrgreen:

Here are my last three Mustangs: 2006 GT, 2001 Cobra Convertible(sold), and 1997 Cobra(sold).

[hundo]

Wow, that is sweet. Best car(06 Z06) for the $$$ even if you have to pay $10-20k over msrp

[wakeboarddrumma]

Don't have a car yet, as i am turning 16 in about a month, but I really hope to get a BMW, even if its a little older. I love the BMW's.

You're gonna have a hard time pulling that boat with a beamer. hehe.

[sperbet]

Andrew, it is a 68'. 64.5, now that's the year. Get that baby lookin' good. One day I hope to get another one, right now I'm thinking 65 fastback.

That Z06 is SWEET!

[Rhode]

Drumma,

Look for an an old 2002 or 1602. That's OG Beemer. I'd be glad to give you the home, cell and work telephone numbers for a college buddy of mine who swiped from me at a weak and poor moment in my mid-20s a very clean, white exterior/navy interior '69 1602 w/ dual Webers. If he sells it to you, I'll buy it from you at a 25% premium.
