About me and my passion for cars

I have always had a passion for cars. I didn't discriminate, I love them all. But, as a young boy in the 60s, my cousin, Tommy (I sure do miss him), showed me where the model year is located on the tail lights of GM cars. So, I always leaned more towards GM products, and I vividly remember walking through parking lots looking at the tail lights for the year of the car I was checking out. My passion continued on into my teenage years and just kept going to the present time. I have owned many cars. My first car was a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Since then, I have owned everything from Fords to Dodges to Chevys to Hondas. Most memorable are the '73 Cutlass, a '67 Camaro RS, and a '72 Chevelle SS 4 speed. Despite my passion for American made cars, my daily driver is a Honda Accord Coupe (which is actually made in America), which is an incredible car.

My dream car

I am blessed with having my 1981 Pontiac Trans Am, my 2003 50th Anniversary Corvette 6 speed Convertible, and the latest edition to the family, a 1977 black on black 4 speed L82 Corvette. They are all dream cars to me. My daily drivers are a 2012 Honda Accord EXL V6 and a 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Edition. But, if I had to choose another, there are so many.....but, just recently I read an article on the 2013 60th Anniversary 427 Corvette Convertible. I wouldn't mind having one of those!
