My first ride: a 1977 CJ7 that I bought in high school.
Then I bought my XJ. Then this was given to me. I still can't believe how lucky I was to get this 1945 MB. I got it running last summer, but there is still some work to do before it is driveable.

Hey, I like the "warming" part of "Global Warming."
As for fullsize trucks, you gotta have the V8 in there somewhere.

current daily: (old pic)
old daily: '78 mkI Golf (rabbit) 2 litre 16v, lots of compression, big cams, lots of portwork, balanced and blueprinted, half-cage, blah blah blah. I need to start working on it again.
'80 Scirocco that I shouldn't have sold.. even though I made a crap-ton of money on it: 1.8 8v bored/stroked to 2 litres, huge ports, huge valves, 12:1 compression, allum. rods, huge cam, made lots of power well above 9k..
Sold it and bought my first xj, which got hit while the ex was driving it.. needed to be lower..
Off the top of my head I can count 31 cars that I've owned.

My turn.
This tows all the toys. 2006 CTD Ram 3500. Not me in the pic, that would be my father.
My toy. 1998 XJ.
My wife's. 1988 MJ.
My eternal project. 1978 Scout.
A few past vehicles.
This was my wife's DD. Sold it before we moved to WA. 2004 Tiburon.
My ugly commuter. Also sold before we moved to WA. 1984 Volvo station wagon with a NA diesel. Wasn't fast, but it got the job done.
This was the previous tow rig. 2004 6.0 Powerstroke F250.
uke:
After owning that turd for a couple of years I wished the insurance company would have let it die here instead of fixing it. Also seen with my previous toy, a 1994 XJ.
This would be the 1994 XJ before the accident.
1995 Intrepid.
The rest of the list that I don't have pics for.
1979/8 Bronco (don't remember which year it was)
1990 XJ
1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais
1987 Chevy Spectrum
1976 GMC Sierra
Somewhere along the line I've also had a couple of parts rigs. A 1977 Scout and a 1988 XJ.

We were actually really lucky. We basically did a really fast u-turn, at 75 MPH.
My wife was driving and ended up with a few scratches on her arm from the broken window. I was fine. Besides that she was pretty shaken up about it. The truck was 6 months old and I don't even think I had the trailer for two months at that point. She felt really bad and had trouble understanding why I wasn't pissed at her. Unfortunately, it happens. Not much I could do about it then. :dunno:After we got out of the truck, called 911, and made sure everybody was fine my next thought was that I had to get the camera and document this.
So I climbed back in the truck to find the camera and started taking pictures.That was quite the day. The tow truck driver ended up stuck in the sand as he tried to hook up to the trailer. The sheriff called another officer with an F150 to pull out the tow truck. Just as they started to get the tow truck moving all the officers started running around and unhooked the F150 from the tow truck. They said there was a hot pursuit in town a few miles away. So, there we were in the middle of nowhere with a tow truck stuck in the sand. I ended up using his aluminum shovel to dig out the tow truck.
Once we finally got the tow truck out, I jumped in the tow truck to head back into town. He was going to drop me off at the police station where the in laws were expecting to pick us up. When I got in the tow truck his passenger seat belt didn't work. He said not to worry, the cops don't bother him about it. After just surviving a roll over I couldn't really care less about what the cops would say. A seat belt would have been really nice.
When I got to the police station all of the cops were sitting around doing nothing and had not even bothered to see if we had made it out. Turns out the hot pursuit was a foot pursuit. :sure:
To make things even better, after we got back to the in laws we decided to go see a movie to take our mind off things. So we saw the Bourne Supremacy. I think we could have made a wiser choice that day considering the movie opens with a car accident where the girl dies. :looser: I was feeling pretty crappy at that point.
We borrowed the brother in laws truck to take to the movie. After the movie we went to start it and the battery was dead. It was not our day. :banghead:
