A 2004 Cadillac CTS-V (# 25 in the registry, 2nd delivered in CA.) with a tricked-out Ground Control suspension. It was 16 y.o. We had fun together. All good things... Ciao bella!

I had a Sonic Blue 04 Lightning, but it wasn’t practical with a family, but it was fun while it lasted…traded for an 05 Titan which I really didn’t like, but it could seat 4…
My wife (ex) and I had a 2011 Charger Mopar Edition #1257—that thing was a BLAST to drive….she kept it and still has it today.
I’m currently shopping for an 03 or 04 Sonic Blue Lightning. Plans are to swap the stock motor for a built one that can handle a Kenne Bell S/C and have it custom tuned. The stock Lightning’s lower end aren’t made for much more than how it comes from the factory. Street/strip is the goal. Just have to find one that’s not modded out…

This was my pride and joy. A guy flew from New Zealand to the US and bought it. So it is cruising down under now. The picture with the Mustang plane was from a show called Props and Ponies in Washington. This was the cover of the 2011 Mustang Calendar, one of many anyways.

I gave mine up for sure. But that's because I couldn't get up my driveway of my new house without scraping the front end. Sucks in a way, I loved that car, wasn't very practical. Don't have a picture of the driveway, but you can see how far down are my neighbors. The Tremor never scrapes. :)

I can drive my wife’s Civic Si, still fun to drive a manual transmission when I want.

Still have a 2006, 311 hp turbo busa if I wanna light my hair on fire. Actually, I’m bald but you know what I meant.

This will likely be going by the wayside once the Truck is delivered. Finally got my 92 Integra reliable enough to be my dedicated track car so I'll need a tow vehicle (again). 3 or 4 seconds faster than the CTR on a 2.3mile track. :)

No pictures now but a 72 240Z for a 64 ford short bed. Then a 87 Camaro with T Tops for a Toyota Tacoma. Then a 2013 Ford Fusion for a 2020 Ford Ranger. I still have my 2007 Yamaha FZ6 that I ride anytime it's not raining. :rockon: This is a great thread. Lot's of sweet mustangs and other killer cars.

A sporty car. Traded my 2013 Focus ST 3 with a Ford Racing tune, for the Ranger. Sweet deal for me. 8 year old car with only 28k on the clock. Got $20k in trade towards the Ranger.
Top speed down the front straight 126 MPH, not bad for a 2.0 4-banger. The turn 2 (top picture) at Fontana is a real gut check at 115 MPH, all you see is the spin out skid marks heading for the concrete wall.
