2001 Ford SVT Lightning- Quick @ss truck but drank gas like no tomorrow!
2003 Ford Harley Davidson ED- Quick @ss truck as well but used a ton of gas.
Wife's old ES350 great for surf trips but too heavy and just traded for a new 08 IS350.
2006 Mini CooperS Checkmate Ed- Fun little car! Gave to my dad.
1964 VW Bug- Still own and use as weekend cruiser.
One of my favorites 2001 Ducati 748- Wife said gotta go cause too dangerous!
1991 Acura NSX (Comptech widebody with FX500 Turbo)- Fast as hell and also my weekend cruiser.
Right now for sale if anyone is interested!
I know I had a problem, I like going fast!
