Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
Sure you want to know?

Daily driver is a 89 Celebrity with a 2.5 four cylinder automatic.  A blue 4 door.  A bit rusty.  Paid $700 with 48000 miles not quite 2 years ago, now has 72000 on it.  It does what I need it to do, and gets 29 mph doing it.   Can't gripe.  
The family truckster is a 92 Dodge Caravan with 3.0 liter engine.  Also blue.  They serve me well.

Now you know why I love driving the Vette so much, and it's not really even driveable as of yet.

Vette(s): 1980 Corvette L-48 automatic all original with 129,000 Kilometres(77000. Miles) Dark claret exterior, Dark claret interior

2003 Chevy Avalanche the most versatile vehicle I have ever owned. Here is a small list of what I mean by versatility.......................

-hauled all kinds of building materials when I'am working around the house (ie. full sheets of ply wood or drywall when I put the back seat down and leave the covers on it does not even get wet if it is raining or snowing)

-Hauled my snowmobile, bicycles,garbage,my sons soap box cars, furniture etc etc.

-I have even thrown a matress in the back and camped in the back its awesome, you even have coolers in the side panels

-hauled tons of stuff for my business

see what I mean versatility....................but for pure fun the Corvette is the best.

I also have an 03 Avalanche that I was using as my daily driver. In 2 years of driving I have already got over 36k miles. The price of gas just keeps getting higher. So last weekend I went out and bought a 99 Nissan Sentra to save a little on gas. I gave $5k for it and I figure there are at least 5 more years of me adding 20K miles to it before it starts giving me greif plus the gas mileage is twice that of my Av.
