1963 Red Ford Galaxy 500 Convertible. Purchased for $800 in 1968. Installed two Hollywood glass pack mufflers and got pulled over in Waikiki by two motorcycle cops the next day for buzzing through the condos in low gear. Gave me a fix it or ticket chit (great Honolulu cops) after I convinced them I had an exhaust manifold leak.

1972 GTO purchased new in late 71 for $4800. Drove it (and fixed it) for 26 years. Sold it in 1998 to a fellow from Ball Ground, GA who shipped it from Hawaii to Georgia. Still had all original equipment including the GM sticker on the air cleaner. Sold it for a lot more than I paid for it.

1999 BMW M3 Purchase new in 98 (you don't want to know the price). Best car I have ever owned. This car is scarry fast. Corners like a cat. It is coming to TV with me.
