I also had a '53 Chevy, the first I was able to drive at age 16. I think they only came with a stick. Mine was a two tone grey/cream. As I recall, mine surely went faster than 60.
Believe mine was a '76 Chevette....at that time my girlfriend (now Mrs Zippy) had a 4 on the floor Pontiac Formula Firebird. I loved driving her car. Now, she is happy with her '97 Contour with 5 on the floor!
There was NO car slower than the 1976 240 Mercedes Diesel I had. An automatic that weighed over 4000lbs. It was a slug. Could barely make it up a hill. With the air on it was REALLY slow.
My daily driver. '94 Escort. Not only is it a 4 banger, its an automatic. Usually makes me drive my Z like I stole it, when I finally do get in it. All that pent up frustration from driving a slow car.
my worst was a K car station wagon supplied by my employer xerox what a piece of sh!t coming in a close second was the amc matador also supplied from the above.
195x VW Bus. 1971, 19 years old. Bought at noon. Highest speed home, 50 mph. Cover open, tools in hand by 1:30.
Left for Churches Chicken job at 4:30. 70 mph no problem. Engine seized before 4:45. Next day discovered repair cost exceeded $100 purchase price of vehicle. Suddenly realize motorcycle only mode of transportation... Again...
1958 Simca 4 speed on the column and I bought it in high school because the bench front seat folded down and mated with the back seat to form a double bed. Never "really" used it but boy I was ready if the opportunity presented itself and it was worth it just to see my date's expression when I cranked that seat back in the drive in movie.

It is just warming up here in KC and my neighbors are already flipping me crap about my lawn. What can I say, I take pride in it. Not the landscaping, just the lawn. The first picture is of my front lawn.
This one is of my lawn with the neighbors in the background so you can see how well...
We have a compact 20 x 20 townhouse garage and wanted the interior to provide storage for 2 cars and the basics; beer fridge, hot water sink, TV/audio stuff, compressed air and plenty of light.
Here 'tis:
Most of the building materials including wall cabinets are from...
Recently relocated from Vancouver Island back to the mainland. Acquired a new daily driver which will be a stablemate for the Z06. Also, it is a better weapon for use on the mainland freeways. I'll admit having gone over to the dark side (Ford) on the last few vehicles, but no one else makes...
