Tonight for some odd reason I had the urge to post up pictures of some of the former rides I have owned, I can only find pictures for a small amount of the cars but it is still fun to go down the list.

Where it all Began:
1966 Plymouth Barracuda ( This is my dads car, still in the family since 1969, my childhood has been growing up wanting to hear the side pipes roar on this car, it is now my birthright ;))

Oh trust me there is more of those then I wanna admit. For some reason I could only find these pictures, I lost count of the cars I owned after it went into the 60's.

Thanks for sharing, Shawn. You've told me about most of these cars but pictures help tell their stories even better.

lol.. the firebird.. v6 of fury! I won a bet with a friend that you can set the cruise @ 120 mph and it will stay there all day long. I think this car is still roaming the streets of Hastings.. Better whatch out! lol..
