2015 Niner RIP9 RDO - hey, it has wheels (oh and they are carbon fiber too). She loves the curves on the roads less traveled.

Bob, awesome looking car. I think my parents had one almost exactly like it. Here is a wide angle photo of my mother and my aunt holding me in Oct 1959. The second photo is my dad and mom holding me at the same car on the same day in 1959. I think their car was a 1954 Ford Customline.

Oh and sick car!

Wish this were down by the beach!
Speaking of which, I've been meaning to cruise down to the PV Cars & Coffee some time.
This was in my neck of the woods in Upland.

chieftd,

Those are way Kool photo's!! Same color combo, in the sedan version. Nice touch with the "Spinners" on the front hub caps.

Our's was my DW's Grandmother's first new car, bought in 1952 delivered in 1953.
It's a 1953 Victoria Crestline Hardtop, complete with rear ashtray's full of Double Bubble and Tootsie Pop wrappers put there by a much younger Wife and her Sister.


I've kept ours just the way we got it, unrestored, original. Normal maintenance only.

Bob

if my watches are even half as tough as my farm truck they will live up to it. 1976 ford f150 4wd, 390 with a compound 4 speed, gear drive transfer case, reverse cut dana 44 front end, 9"rear end with a detroit locker and 33 spline axles. i don't know about a king ranch but this truck has been a ranch king for 39 years and it's still rocking!

I'm sure most would say I'm out of balance but. ..

I drive a 2015 prius c..

Why? 55 to 60 mpg, Toyota reliability, and I paid cash

Oh, and no car (with few exceptions) will hold value like a well bought rolex, and I've never been much for depreciating assets

Monaco blue 2007 BMW 328xi paired with a TT bluesy sub. I decided to wait until next year to get a new car so I got one for my wrist instead ;)

Is your vehicle and your Rolex a balance

No. I just walk to and from work everyday wearing a GMT or a DJ but I'm packed with 18 rds of 45 acp. I drive a Corolla sometimes.

Some great cars here, both modern and classic. My new ride (2007) with less than 10,000 miles headed to Florida soon. Just something for me to get away to...when on vacation.

I drive a 2002 silver Saab 9-3 SE. I got it new in Spring, 2003, and that's the year they switched from the hatchback to the sedan, so I made it a point to get a 2002.

I love that car.

Is that a good match with my Rolex?

One for every mood. The Harley gets a good work out each season. The quad every weekend at the cottage and the Vette sees all the car shows.
