About me and my passion for cars
I love to see the work done from start to finish on "found" classic cars working on my own as it is. I have several pix of her in the albums there in order to witch they were taken best to my knowledge. I really like the boxy type 4 door classic cars like the Impala's, new yorkers, rebels and such. When it comes to new i like Toyota trucks and Chevy cars although the Nissan Titian might be replacing Toyota. I love the look of the new Nissan all Beefed up. Just getting into bikes. We like the smaller Honda's like the rebel... Sry no im not really into Harley's use to love what the stood for but that has changed and i dont like the rumble/vibration and constant maintenance they seem to require. Working on my off road truck its a 84 Toyota dlx 4x4 my brother bought for 1500. I want to use it on off road trails of all sorts not just mudding or rock climbing while both are fun i like to drive on trails out in the woods with hills mud fallen trees rocks and washed away trails. Also I Very Big On Customization making your car yours while there are plenty of cool cars bought off the lot they are just that bought. When you do work to your ride you seem to have more pride in it and its more your car theres not a ton of them out there just like it. The Only way i like Original is if "YOU" restored it because it was needed then you put your time in. Every one says keep it Original its worth more that way. Well if you love your ride do you really plan on selling it? Well then why should it matter? Make It Your Show Your self and Have Pride In Your Ride!!!
My first car
It was giving to me when my mom got a new car it was a 79 4 door impala that i ended up putting into a demo. I then got a 78 nova put some work into her before she broke down i lived in apartments and didnt have the money to fix it so i was forced to sell it the apt owner and cops didnt like it just sitting there.
Car I wish I still had
My 79 Monte Carlo electric windows and seats manual door locks red velvet interior. Dark red paint with a perfect white vinyl top all stock original my dumb ass sold it so i could move to Denver now she is in a bone yard will allways regret my choice. Wouldn't mind having my Nova back either it was a blast...
My dream car
Would love to chase my 79 monte but it will never be the same as my first so im staying with what i have my 69 rebel its some what rare and i like not seeing tons of them on the road. My next favorites would have to be a 64 Impala 66 Chrysler newyorker or a 74 Javelin. In all reality there is way to many to list.
Car clubs I’m in
Not really in any clubs just love to cruise the open road with my family & go to every car show I have get the chance to. Would love to one day put my baby in one but for now i'll just drive her around. I get looks and questions all the time Trying to Keep AMC a know company....

This is a place for 4door and wagon owners to get to know each other and show that these vehicles can be and are cool cars! Some car shows have started having classes for these vehicles and I would like to see more event promoters reconize these vehicles.
