FACTS
MOST HORSEPOWER/OVERALL FASTEST :
1975 Chevy Monza, possibly close to 400HP with engine enhancements. The motor came out of a wrecked 1970 Corvette Stingray and put in the car by a Marine Captain who was a F4 Phantom pilot. (websites about V8 Monzas )
MOST FUN:
No question, Porsche 928, drive one, you'll know why! (websites about Porsche 928's )
MOST PROBLEMS:
No question, Porsche 928, own one, you'll know why! Honorable mention: BMW 735il
MOST TICKETS:
No question, Porsche 928, (see MOST FUN)
MOST GOODIES:
Believe it or not, Ford Explorer XLT (custom ordered)
MOST EXPENSIVE: (Purchase price):
Ford Explorer XLT, (See MOST GOODIES)
LEAST EXPENSIVE:
VW Squareback, $400, bought it from a mechanic who took possession of it after a customer didn't pay him $400 in repairs done to it. (pictures of really nice squarebacks )
New leader: Isuzu Amigo, bought from our church (donated) $200! Okay, so this unit didn't work out so well. The gas mileage was awful and the parts expensive. Sold it.
MOST MILES DRIVEN:
Porsche 928, lived in South Carolina for awhile, went home to Virginia Beach on weekends, to see girlfriend, now wife. I put thousands of miles on it every month, for many months, then moved to Culpeper and went to Virginia Beach on weekends. This cost me a fortune in gas, eventually tickets and eventually my insurance. (she was worth every penny...my wife!)
VANITY PLATES:
GOT GHZ - Acura (my pick, okay so Ghz processors had just come out, nobody got it, decommsioned)
HER GUMP - 86 Nissan (my pick, as in Forrest Gump, I'm my wifes Gump, decommsioned)
SNOW CAT - 91 Jag (her pick, decommsioned)
FERRAL - 91 Jag (her pick, FERAL was taken, also name of her favorite cat, and play on what a Jaguar is)
PLAY TOY - 84 Bronco (her pick, go figure)
WANTD IT - 94 Jag (her pick, should have been the plates for every other car...)
