About carfanatic1’s Garage
About me and my passion for cars
Simply put, I love cars! Always have. I'm not really much of a mechanical type, but can remember spending all my money as a teenager buying and reading Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Road and Track, etc. And I love going to car shows, it has definitely become my passion, but not so much as a participate but more so as a spectator. I dream is to go out to Arizona at least once for the Barrett-Jackson auction.
My first car
1976 Firebird Formula
Car I wish I still had
Too many to list but if I had to choose one it would be my old 1978 Martinque Blue W72 Trans Am (a lot of good memories).
My dream car
Toss up between a 70 Mustang Mach 1 and a 73 Brewster Green SD 445 Trans Am
Car clubs I’m in
Tidewater Trans Am Club (www.ttac.net) and Peninsula Mustang Enthusiasts (peninsulamustang.com).

Congratulations on a Great Garage full of some awesome vehicles!

- Jul 22, 2009 at 10:19 pm
- Hey man, I appreciate the post bout the Chevelle, I was in the Corps and got out in Jan of 09'. I still cant bring myself to sell it, I have lots of offers all the time, but I cant sell it. I saw your dream car was a 70' MACH 1? There is an man bout 02 minutes outside of town near me that I'm pretty sure has one, it aint in the best of shape, but it runs looks ok, I can look into it if ya want...
- Jun 19, 2009 at 9:40 am
- Thanks. Yeah, thats what everyone says. It is always nice to see younger people into the old junkers. Keeps em' alive. You'd be surprised how many people there are my age that share the same passion.
- Jun 16, 2009 at 12:29 pm
- thanks for commenting on my garage. I do like DOmestic cars, im a major amercian muscle nut but the cars are just so hard to find and too expensive to but now a days. I get really good deals and have a lot of good connections in the tuner world. Hopefully when i get out of college and have a stable job ill get what i want. Im in love with the new 2010 Camero and the New GTO. But till then ill stick to the cheap cars.
- May 12, 2009 at 6:29 am
- It may take some time to organize my profile and add some video's, pictures and comments but I see we are traveling down similar roads of interest. Mustangs, Firebirds, NASCAR. I still have most of the cars I've driven but they are needing time and parts. I check swap meets and wrecking yards almost monthly with my parts needed/wanted list.
- May 8, 2009 at 8:53 pm
- thanks for the comment when i bought it back to texas lets just say i know some people at the DMV and they helped me out. Getting the car with a bond title almost cost what i payed for the car but the title came back clear with no leans
- May 7, 2009 at 6:04 pm
- love the trans am man
- May 4, 2009 at 2:13 pm
- Thank you!!
- May 1, 2009 at 7:23 pm

- Apr 8, 2009 at 7:30 am

- Apr 6, 2009 at 12:34 pm
- trust me i will take care of my car =D

- Fave song...Molly Hatchet, not many know that one but it was a big hit in our area here in Michigan as well......
Thanks for the comment and have to agree with the SD455 as car worth dreaming about. Sister had a 74 that someone before her had dropped in a 455....Wow that car was fun..
- Mar 15, 2009 at 11:08 pm
- Thanks for the comments ! I work too much and never get time to get on this site. Glad to see you take care of that bird.
- Mar 6, 2009 at 10:47 pm
- thanks for the comments bro. yeah it sucks that after 07 the MC was discontinued but thats all because of nascar's transition to the impala. and also yes it would have been awesome to get her in a rear wheel drive or even in a manual SS. fortunately it's still possbile but mega money for conversion. be safe and always leave your name on the concrete in beautiful black rubber!!
- Feb 27, 2009 at 9:08 am
- Nice TA!..I bet it is fun to drive!

- Hey Bobby, Thanks for the comment on the "Trans Am" Trans Am pic. I took that on the way back from the Nationals in 07... i'd been looking for a "Trans Am" truck/trailer for awhile and found that one parked at a rest stop with a space next to it

- Feb 18, 2009 at 10:20 pm
- thanks for all those comments man!
- Feb 18, 2009 at 12:39 pm
- Those 1984 golden days pics were terrific!! Nice album, Thanks, Tim O
- Feb 17, 2009 at 9:19 pm
- Thanks for the kind words! Some beautiful machines you have - the 2nd gen T/A was an obvious influence for installing a shaker hood on my Monte. My first car was almost a '79 T/A but it was sold before I got to it... would still love to get my hands on one some day

- Feb 11, 2009 at 11:35 am
- just never had time to put them on here

- Yeah, that's me, I'm a car guy......I just simply love cars, all makes.
You know, I belong to two different local car clubs; a Mustang club and a Trans Am club, and I get a lot of ribbing when I drive that Mustang to the Trans Am club lol.
