Hi all, I've been around for about 3 years now and finally was able to log on again. Lost my log on ability because of lack of posting.
Anyway to start off I'm much older then the rest of you ( I have a granddaughter in college) but that doesn't lessen my enthusiasm for cars or having the best looking around. The first car I had after high school (1953) was a 1946 Ford Coupe. Black of course. I rebuilt the flat head v8 in our barn while going to college. Sold it when I went into the Navy flight training program. Bought a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 hardtop after I got my commission and wings and went to my first squadron. Got married and had a 1958 Chevy Impala hardtop, which I think was the best looking car ever built. Anyway everything was downhill car wise since then because you really don't have neat cars with a family.
Retired from the Navy after 23 years and then really retired in 01.
I have a 99 Solara SLE that I bought in November of 98 and have enjoyed it ever since. I try to keep my cars like they came from the dealer. Cars are not just transportation they are a source of pride. I've done a few things to my car: TRD muffler, Blue lights on entire dash, CPE induction, Wood and Leather steering wheel. and a few others. Here are a few pictures (I hope).
