OK, I decided to post pics of my (and my wife's) cars.  They are all crummy iPhone pics.  One of these days I'll get a chance to take pics with a real camera.

First, my wife's daily driver: 2003 Audi allroad, 2.7t, twin turbo V6, 320hp, 6-mt (6-speed manual) Cobalt blue

Second my wife's play car:  2016 Audi S4, 3.0 liter Supercharged V6, 333hp, 6mt (the last of the manuals from Audi) Misano Red, no mods yet but H&R coil-overs coming this spring.  This replaced her 2001 TT Roadster.

Third, my daily driver: 2004 Audi allroad, 2.7t, twin turbo V6, 550hp, 6-mt (6-speed manual) Brilliant Black, full body paint

Last, my play car: 2006 Audi S4 25quattro (anniversary edition, number 103 of 250 made), 340hp, 6mt, Avus Silver, H&R coil-overs.

Total bummer on Cyclone, mancry I painted my Torino once about 86 and backed into a brick wall

 2 days later, not totaled,but still not done. Divorce = H-D and I'll get to Ford again, but H-D is awfully distracting !!!

She thinks my tractors sexy !! It's my long time neighbors. He has some cool Mopars , 68 Road Runner, 39 Desoto. & More. I'll get pics. BTW I don't see any Mopars ? Had a couple and worked 25 yrs. in Chrysler, Jeep dealers. Coolest test drive was 2000 Viper. Talk about handling like on rails. Bad to the bone.

My first car was a 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 with a 318ci and automatic.  Just enough to have some fun, but not enough to really get into trouble. That's my Shepherd Gus. Circa 1978.

This is my '66 F100 that I bought in 1980, when I was 16. The pic is from about 1983.laugh

Image Enlarger

In 1990, after the last of the leaded gas went away, it burned a couple valves. I was going to just rebuild the engine, but then I got the bright idea to fix a few rust issues while I was at it. Then life got in the way & for one reason or another, it's still in a hundred pieces. I'm SUCH a slacker!embarassed This is the day I started unbolting body panels, my oldest son wanted to help...he is now 31.lol2

Image Enlarger

In '08, I bought this '66 F250. I told my wife at the time, that I needed this so I could remember where all the parts go on the red one.lol2

In October 1986, we sold this '68 Mustang coupe...

Image Enlarger

...to buy this 1970 Charger 500.smile The Pinto was my winter beater, BTW.

Image Enlarger

We stopped using it as a daily driver in 1990, and just drove occasionally during the summer. One evening in 1993, a drunk driver ended those occasional drives!yell

Image Enlarger

Now it is currently my garage queen. Once a year, I drive it to the end of the driveway for a bath, and if I leave it there for more than an hour or so, somebody is bound to stop by & ask if I want to sell it.lol2 I want to do a rotisserie resto on it...one of these days. Again, such a slacker!

I bought this one a few years ago in this condition, as a mostly parted out roller. It was cheap & I couldn't pass it up. It was originally a 500 SE with a 383 & pistol grip 4-speed. No, I haven't finished this one either.

This has the killer ventilation package!big-grin

I bought this '77 Town Car from the original owner in '08.

Image Enlarger

This one has the fairly rare fixed glass moonroof.cool

Image Enlarger

I got this one really cheap, because the original owner managed to blow up the engine...like big time!

Image Enlarger

Total carnage. The only reusable parts on the entire engine was pretty much the intake & valve covers.lol2 Here's a sample, the large chunk on the right is a crankshaft counterweight!surprised 

Image Enlarger

So, I found the same year 460 & built a brand new engine!

For a big old boat, it's pretty fun to drive.smile

I'm mostly a Ford guy too, but when it come to musclecars, I like almost anything!occasion

Here's a few that I sold about 15 years ago. The red Highboy was a '76 with a 460, the Bronco was a '78 with the 400 & 4-speed. I'm still kicking myself for letting that one go.

Image Enlarger

This one was a '77 with a 400 & 4-speed.

Image Enlarger

I built an engine for that one, too.smile

Image Enlarger

I built a 300 6-banger for this one. 

Image Enlarger

Still have this one, a '75 2wd F250 390 4-speed...with the usual rust above the rear wheels. I intend to put a Highboy front end under it, with a 6" lift. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

The Brazilian versions of American vehicles sure are unique, and yours is really a great looking example! Thanks for showing it off. 🙂
