What do you do with your cars? Honestly

My girlfriend and I take the 53 to the lake often, about twice a month. We catch turtles and enjoy the scenery. People gasp when they see the car with the canoe on it. This is what cars are for, using them.

1. 

we catch guys like this!!

 

55 is a grocery getter (big trunk), one of my 59 trucks usually hauls stuff to the dump, the longbed 59 hauled a lot of building materials before I wrecked it.

so the weather is nice up in Detroit this time of year?

 

Amen on "using them"... Never had the desire to buy ANY vehicle I wasn't planning on using the crap out of.

 

thats what ya build them for!! I love it when cars aren't pampered.You got the thumbs up from me brother.

PS, Thats a pretty big snapper there dude, that'll leave a mark

 

You have to hook a chain to your bumper to pull that monster turtle out the lake...??? Damn, that sucker is big...
R-

 

That's a bad ass snapper and a bitchin' 53! If I didn't respect snappers so much as top end predators, I'd be frying him up for supper!

I drive my 56 Vicky to work every Friday and everywhere on the weekends. My daughter and I enjoy just driving around town and freaking out the squares with the exhausts rapping....

 

It won't leave a mark - it'll leave a stump.

 

Good thing your holding that bad boy facing away from ya, they could be calling you "stumpy".

Nice car, and yep they are to be used.

 

Drive um!!!!.......OLDBEET

 

60,000 miles in the first two years I had mine on the road. But I used it so much I got "used" to it and sold it for the current project - man, I miss it now though...

 

I don't dare drive mine, I am too afraid that the sun will fade the paint.

 

Yep, I drive my 51 all over the place! even when it's parked peaple say they saw me driving it! (some one elses 51!)...Roach.

 

I drive it... a lot. 30K in a little over a year... went through 3 sets of bias plies..

 

The first time I met Dennis was at Decatur last year. I remember hearing some old men talking at the booth I was at saying "You see that car there? These young people are DRIVING them like that! They don't even care about paint." That's when I turn around and see this green 54 with a an old Allstate scooter among other finds hanging out of the trunk.

 

That is a big ol' male snapper. They are pussycats in the water. Get them out and they are pretty good at removing fingers.

That boy looks 30lbs or so. They make good pets when they get used to you.

 

mostly for pullin stuff..



these were the old concrete steps to my back door..

 

Dam that is one bad ass snapper.

 

I don't do nearly enough in my car. It was my Dad's, and he left it to me when he died. He drove it daily to work for about 10 years in the 80s and 90s, and it has all of the parking lot dings to prove it.

He and I once tried to use it to pull a stump in the front yard, but couldn't get any traction. The grill is pushed in from when he used the coupe to push start the neighbor kid's car. Stupid kid had it in reverse when he popped the clutch, and his rear bumper jumped over Dad's...

I really think my Dad would have wanted me to drive the crap out of it like he did, but I can't bring myself to do it. I need to grow a pair, and drive it like I stole it.

Mainly just sit there and go Vroom Vroom.

 

I'm in the Navy and work at TOPGUN Strike Fighter Tactics School. I drive my truck to work every day and gotta say, each one of the guys at the school are envying me for what I'm driving.

 

Drive to the cotton plant everyday!

 

Fuckin rad! You're my hero!!

 

Hey seymour great to see you posting again, I finally had to learn how to post pics so Kiwikev doesn't kick the shit out of me.
