Hey all, it’s early and I’m awake... and I have lots of pictures in my phone. :)

Hope you’re all doing as well as possible in this crazy world that we find ourselves in. :)

The 1977 Monte Carlo was owned by me from about 1989 to 1996. It only had about 4,000 miles on it when I bought it. Always liked Chevys and still do.

The crunched 9C1 I drove for years also. It was an undercover Caprice with the police package. LT1 engine, heavy suspension and cooling. I really like these cars! When the Impala SS was introduced in 1994 I loved that car from the first time I saw one. Wasn’t in the budget though... we’ll call the 9C1 the poor mans Impala SS...

My son had it for a week... at the time it had about 300K miles on it. I’d always had it perfect mechanically, other than some occasional fluid leaks.

My son drove the car home 10 miles after this mishap, and I think the police pushbar on the car might have saved him from any injury. He didn’t have a scratch on him... that’s all I’ll say about that for now... long time ago. [emoji23]

The Impala SS I’ve owned for over 10 years and still have it, drove it for a couple of them. It’s a long project that I haven’t worked on for a couple years, but I’m getting closer... new engine’s in the car. Working on some cooling and plumbing stuff. Short description, 400 LT4 stroker, Tremec T56 Magnum close ratio 6 speed, twin disc ceramic clutch, and a 4:10 rear end. We’ll call it highly modified. :)

I still plan to finish it when I can get the time... in between what life throws at me.

The Buick Roadmasters in the pictures were both my daily drives at different times. The white one is still being driven by a woman who works with me.

I really like the full size rear wheel drive Chevys. The light blue one I sold after I bought the Ram 3500, only about two years ago. The white Roadmaster is a 1992 and still has under 100K miles on it.

My wife has owned Dodge Ram trucks for years. It was really driving her trucks that introduced me to Dodge... and you all! [emoji23]

Hope you all have a great Sunday. It’s 7:00 AM now. I’m going to buz cut my hair and then my wife and I are going to her parents house on the Rainbow river in Dunnellon FL.

Spring fed river, amazingly beautiful place.

I’ll post up a picture of that later. :)

I traded in my '17 gmc sierra ccsb 4x4 slt. it was a great truck but it struggled pulling our travel trailer and I liked the 5.7 and 3.92 gears and 8 speed of the ram. it is much more fun to drive and pulls our trailer a lot better.

Only changed from the Dodge Durango SRT because I need a truck, the TRX was a tad too expensive ;)

All GM products. My last GM was a '14 that bought new and traded in for my '15 Ram when it only had 4000 miles on it.
