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). I also wish I still had my 1973 Sportsroof Torino.
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).
