1975 Toyota Celica. A hand-me-down gift from mom when I was 16.

1970 Mustang Mach I. I wish I still had this car. I could not afford it at 17, but what I could do with it now.

1959 Chevrolet Impalla. My first attempt at a restomod. I was too young, too poor, and did not have the resources needed.

1980 Buick Regal. A great little car.

1990 Chevrolet Beretta. I got this when I came back from overseas in the Corps. I put 200,000 miles on it before I traded it in on my Jeep. I should have bought t he Jeep and kept the Beretta.

1997 Jeep Wrangler. I have owned this Jeep since new, and have modified it beyond all reason. It is awesome.

1988 Porsche 944. I bought this car this year to keep miles off the Jeep. I knew I liked it, but did not know that I would fall for it as much as the Jeep.
