    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    One of my friends in high school would borrow his mothers new red Pinto station wagon 4-5speed & go to a steep hill across from high school & drive half way up hill & roll back & let loose. That Pinto took some abuse

    Both Photos are a work of art. I especially like the #3 on the back of the lower photo....that's where the #3 comes from in my moniker.

    For me, my favorite has to have a personal connection.

    1959 Chevrolet is the 1st car that I can remember Dad having back in the day. So when I found this guy, it really brought me home.

    Resto modded, every time I think about this baby, now and during the restoration process, I go back in time and recall the wonderful memories as a kid! He's long gone, but thanks Dad! I love you!

    I had a 1960 as my 1st car. It's still out there- I spotted it a few years ago
    when I was visiting my parents up north. Not my favorite, but still
    a car very different from most on the road.
