My "main" hobby (many pictures included)

[Guest mustangdave]

Hahaha I think there was one MOPAR in there. Ironically I worked at a Ford dealership for 3 years...

What stage ROUSH?

Its an 03 JACK ROUSH CLASSIC....full STAGE 3 set up...

[Guest drv2fst]

There was a Jack Roush club track day event a few years ago at the track in Lebanon. Did you go? I was there in a Silver Mitsu EVO.

That's a pretty rare ride you have there. My favorite Mustang is the 03/04 Terminator about the same power specs as yours. I'd rather have yours just because of the rare factor.

Nice red vette. It will be my next car and I plan to pick up in Bowling Green. Even if my wife has to get a second job!

Rare is correct...#1 of 50 produced...and its got a little more juice than those Terminators (which I love too)...the Roush sits in the garage next to my wife's 01 Bullit...

Awesome stuff, any idea which one you want? Base, GS, Z06, Zr1? On a side note and a heads up the new body style will be a '13 or '14 car with an all new motor. I do not like what I have seen from the pictures though, but we will not know what it looks like for sure until the final product is out (or revealed).

Do you actually have the #1 of 50 or what is the production number. Having a series 1 of any car is something really special IMO.

yep...the actual #1 car of the 50 Jack Roush Classic's built...

Now that is cool.

[Guest mustangdave]

The absolute BEST part is aside from the front bumper and the spoiler on the back deck the car looks "stock"...can you say 400hp "sleeper"....nothing really reaches out and shouts ROUSH...no side pipes...no stripes...but the exhaust note is all business

I have 3 too many "fun" vehicles

1st track trip in the coupe. 11.092 @ 133.13

The topless pig 11.6@126

The other is a 98 cobra and it is even slower...but has a good bit of suspension work.

[Guest m14man]

I almost bought a silver rousch classic very nice car it would have been a daily driver so I didn't get it.it was a great car and price wish I could have bought it and put it up.

[TGO David]

I've been doing hot rod cars since way before I was of age to own firearms. Past rides include an SRT8 300C, a 2003 Mach1, several Mustang GTs and other assorted toys.

[Caster]

I used to love working on cars. Last few I've had was a 63 falcon w/ a 5.0 roller motor from a Mercury Marquis. 66 Beetle w/ a fiberglass roadster body kit, 85 GMC s-15 w/ a 360 small block (350 .060 over) which was a complete waste of time and money. It was just too much to deal with unless I did extensive chassis mods...sold it. There's still a '66 Monanco 383/auto here. Me and the wife get out in it every now and again.

I don't know what happened I just got so sick of working on stuff all the time. Especially a couple of the chevy's I had. You just Cannot tear up a 350 rotating assembly, but they are constantly eating starters and water pumps and fuel pumps. I don't even even want to get started ranting about that VW. If Ferdinand Porche was still alive I'd like to beat his head in for coming up with that vertical seamed magnesium cased turd of a motor the VW's use. Garbage.

There's a reason I bought a Toyota. Although, when the Toyota is paid for next year me and the wife are most likely going to shop around and buy a classic. One in particular. A '67 4 door Impala, black, 12 hole chrome wheels, 327/4 barrel Automatic, and I already have a pair of spotlights to put on it. I think this time, we'll just put out the $$$ and get one that needs NOTHING done to it. The 67 impala is a real car, one me and the wife could take long trips across country in......hope we don't run into any spooks.

I sometimes don't understand this mentality...buy it to "put it up"...IF you like the car buy it and DRIVE it...thats why Jack builds em...I bought mine USED with 32K on it...told the former owner it would be DRIVEN...its been to California and back TWICE...about 6K in 10 days...and loved every minute in the car....I've road coursed it...shown it. Every time I get behind the steering wheel all I can do is grin...the car is a BLAST to drive...the odometer is approaching 94K....and I've kept just about every maintenance record.

[Caster]

I'm with Dave. I don't understand the collector mentality. If ever I win the powerball, I intend to make a lot of people mad. I'll hit the Barrett Jackson, drop 100K plus on a COPO 427 Camaro and try to hold it between the lines as I torch the rubber off the back of thing on the way out of the parking lot. I mean what's the point in owning a Shelby Cobra with a 427 side oiler and a stick shift if you don't snatch a molar out of the back of your mouth on the 1-2 shift???

I already told the wife, if we hit the Tn Powerball, I'm buying the meanest thing I can find, putting on an adult diaper and strapping into the passenger seat cause I'm paying Ken Block to drive me around till a rod bearing comes loose!

Totally agree with driving a car and not just holding on to it. There are two types of Corvette people; Corvette owners and Corvette DRIVERS

As for hitting the powerball I would get a Lamborghini Gallardo and send it down to Underground Racing in Florida to put the twin turbo set up on it. Drive it till the motor blew then throw a Murcielago V12 motor in it and build it naturally aspirated. Doesn't hurt to dream.

[BimmerFreak]

Nice Vettes.

I wouldn't mind picking up a C6 as a daily driver at some point.

My current money-pit:

(I have a set of Momo seats for sale if anyone is interested...)

A few other BMWs over the past 5-6 years...

M3 and M Roadster

3.0 Coupe

E30 M3

BMW L6

Another L6

635CSi

M5

E35 540/6

Another E34 540/6

[BimmerFreak]

M3

Dinan S/C'd M3 and 635CSi

635CSi

M Roadster

And just so you don't think I only do BMW:

Audi TT

951 and 944

308GTSi

There have been more, but I seem to be missing a few picture albums.

[ls3_kid]

Those are pretty cool rides, what is the difference between a L6 and a M6? I like the e39 M5 a lot but I LOVE the e60 M5. Overall my favorite BMW is the M Coupe better known as the "clown shoe"

How do/did you like the 308? I've heard mixed reviews about them.

L6 was only produced in 1987 with a very small run of 1300 units being made.

It was the full luxury version of the E24 chassis, but had no other performance upgrades over the standard models.

M6 is a different beast, with upgraded motor (S38 in this body style) brakes, suspension, etc.

Clown shoes rock.

The 308 was a blast to own.

Buy one with the best ownership and maintenance history that you can afford.

"cheap" ones will kill your bank account!

I drove mine for over a year trouble free, and sold it for what I paid for it.

My ownership was "free"

[AdotOdot4]

I drove my Suby WRX on tail of the dragon a couple summers ago on a trip from Chicago to Myrtle Beach.

Now that I've moved to TN, I'll have to make a trip over again.

[BimmerFreak]

We need to get a Dragon run together for late July/early Aug.

[ls3_kid]

Count me in on a dragon run.

[7dogguy]

Very nice!
