About me and my passion for cars
I've always liked hot cars and trucks. Growing up, they were nothing more than transportation. My 67'Biscayne was purchased as a hand-me-down from my sister, who had beaten it into the ground. If I couldn't afford a cool car, then I would get attention by being different! I was the only kid in school that could pick out their car in any parking lot.(I'll try to dig up some pictures of it)
One day I saw a car with a bird on the hood. I fell in love! Then the "Blue Bird" came out in light blue with it's blue snowflake wheels!!
When I got married, we both had vans. I sold mine and my husband asked what I wanted to get? A Trans Am, of course! I found a "Blue Bird" for sale,but, my husband said, "Would you rather have a 6cyl. or a Trans Am with an 8?"
So, started our collection-79'TA 403, 79'TA 400, 82' Mustang GT, 91' Firebird, 94' Ranger Off Road Pkg., 94' F150 Flareside Mark III Custom, 95' F150 Flareside Mohave Custom, 01' WS6 TA, 05' Honda VTX/1300R
My first car
67' Chevy Biscayne-327-Took a qt. of oil with every gas fill-up. Lots of rust, so, I painted an ocean scene on the hood, canyon scene with a stallion on the trunk, African safari scene-driver's side, woodland on passenger side. When ever the "Bondo" cracked, or more rust came through, I'd just get out the Rustoleum"and paint brushes and change the scene!
Black and leopard print interior (Come ON!!!-It was the 70's!!)
It had a bent A frame, so, every time you put on the brakes in the winter, you'd end up in the right snowbank!
Car I wish I still had
Still have it! Birdie-79'TA now with a decent color paint.(previously Heritage brown)
My dream car
Any low, wide sports car- Ford GT 40, Viper, Lambo, "Magnum's"Ferrari, etc.

- I did not realize you lived in Pennsylvania. Perhaps Mary should have drove our hood over. Oh well, she will get there eventually.
Cool garage,
