My fiance makes fun of me EVERY time we take my car.

Go figure, her filthy front row parked Corolla has fewer dings

^Oh, I get it... Back in the 80's I had a 1987 Mustang GT that I bought new (my dad co-signed the loan for me). Right away I got bit by the mod bug and it got the point where I would show it and race it on occasion at Raceway Park in NJ. Within 6 months of owning it some asshole busted the drivers window in a parking lot of a Sears where I was returning a tool. It was in a good area that I had been to plenty of times before but that never really matters..Well form that point on the car was never out of my sight, I would only take it to places where I could literally see it all the time (I know crazy)..

So I decided to take it one weekend for a long drive to my girlfriend's (now wife) cousin's house in the Poconos about a 100 mile drive. I'm driving on RT80 in the middle lane early Sat morning with barely any traffic and all of a sudden BOOM!! I hear what sounded like a brick hit the car. I pull over and immediately go to the front of the car which had one of the old school vinyl front end covers on it and see nothing.

I walk around the car twice and on the second pass I see what looked to be a quarter size ding down to the metal on the passenger side front door, approx 7" from the the "5.0" emblem on the front fender.. I was soooo pissed, I never park anywhere for fear of it getting damaged and here I am driving and a rock nails the freaking door of all places..

Sorry for crappy picture of a picture, but here is the GT.

^ That is awesome! In the 90's I bought a used '87 Mustang LX Notchback as my first car. Loved that thing!

Since I am counting down the days until my infiniti lease is up, i'll post the two vehicles I care about...

Rare beast here- 2002 Grand Cherokee Laredo base model, yet somehow optioned with the 4.7, towing package, and selec-trac four wheel drive. I will never let go of her, and she is still running great at 158k **knocks on wood**



And my newest ride....2017 Yamaha GP1800. It keeps me sane..



I look forward to next year when I can start one of those "So the Infiniti needed...." threads.

There's nothing more exciting than owning & driving something German with a well deserved reputation (I know the feels).

Seriously though, beautiful car and good luck

Dang, srika! Nice pick up. I hope it treats you well. At least you don't have the SMG I had to deal with in my M5 from the same era.

I get a lot of shit for the Prius

Seriously it's a great car practically speaking. Comfortable, cheap, reliable, quiet, 50 mpg. If I'm heading out to run errands or sit in traffic I choose the Prius every time.

Me too. I don't really know yet. Just drive it around for fun I guess. There are some fun rat rod/hot rod car shows I'll take it to, and I'll tow the Model A with it.
