This spends most of the time in my garage and being work on, 1977 Datsun 280z. I've only owned it for about 8 months now but I've put a lot of time into it. It's finally up and running so I have been driving it more and more.
 
Picked up a new project for the wifey this weekend. Its a 94 BMW 325IS E36. It might have the M package on it. Will be fun though

OK....I'll bite...what is it?
At first I thought it was a '69 Firebird, but I don't recall GM putting the windshield washer reservoir on the driver side engine bay.....and that side view mirror is really throwing me.
....is it a 'Cuda Convertible???

My runner has a few "Garage Mates".







Granted, the MINI is her's, but I drive it a pretty good bit. I need to get an updated pic of it, we powdercoated all of the chrome parts black.

The Mini looks good, i would like to see it with the black trim. On a side note, have you had it de-carbonized? Thats when they get in and blast it.
 
I haven't had it de-carbonized yet. We just had the HPFP replaced about a month ago. Luckily, when I figured out what it was, we were still under warranty. It really is a blast to drive and there's more room in it that what most people think. I'm 6'2 and 190lb and I can drive it comfortably on longish trips.

Yeah, i drive my wifes Mini around a little. They are pretty roomy, and it runs pretty strong also.

Damn good looking MINI! Have you done anything to it engine-wise to give it a little more pep?

I tried to talk her into outting a Works perfomance kit in, but she says it's fine like it is. She did like driving my old pick up though, so maybe some day she will want to do some mods.

Well, My 4runner has had many stable mates...

There's "Lexi" of course...She bravely donated her parts to my 4Runner...


Then there's "HOT SOOPY"...

This lil bish would scare the paints off ya!


Then there's The Turbo T/A... "blowbird"

"Maxi" and "Silver Soopy" in background


Then there was this ugly mug building a 400 4spd T/A...

"badbird"


Then I built "Olefart" an Impala SS Vert for my Ole Man...




Then there's "Jake" The German Shepherd Dog, "Peppe" the Wrangler, and the Infamous "4.0Runner"...


Honestly, not counting my Wife and Daughter's cars, there have been about a dozen more...but I can't remember all their names....

Thought I'd throw up a new pic of the daily driver, freshly refinished the wheels as they all had curb damage from previous owner, and new 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 summer tires, much better than winter tires!
