Sometimes I wonder why I picked two of the most expensive "hobbies...."-1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass S
Cherry red with a black vinyl top
My first car, still have it and have been building up a 455 Rocket to stuff under the hood. Full roller cam & rockers, ported & polished heads, 850 cfm Demon carb. Edelbrock Torker manifold, MSD ignition, headers/ dual exhaust etc.... This is going to be one rocket ride, just hope gas prices don't go much over $3 again!!-1964 Oldsmobile Ninety Eight hardtop
White ext, wide-whitewall tires & chrome moon hubcaps
This one's a summer cruizer- all original, lots of gleaming chrome. 394 Rocket 4 bbl. Slim-Jim automatic transmission, Power windows, seats, ..everything. Not really working on it, just keep it all shined up. Have been to a couple of car shows with it.Then there's the ones just sitting around... and my daily driver work truck and the Cadillac ETC for road trips and diddling around town. A vehicle for every purpose- kinda like different systems for different purposes, aka: high current/ planar/ electrostatic, SET/ horn, 5.1 channel HT, computer audio etc, all of which I would like to explore.
And then of course, you have to put audio systems in the cars...
Follow Ups:
The Cutlass S sounds like it will be a fun ride when completed. And a 98 that you can take to shows is good too. I agree this is another expensive hobby. Besides the Jaguar which is undergoing a major but slow, as I am also repainting the house inside and out, renovation my Charger will need some major body help from the salty winter roads back home in Spokane, WA. And I have a 2001 Ram Quad Cab Long bed for travel, camping and such. My daily driver is a new Dodge Magnum R/T.Must be better ways to spend our money and time (can't think of one though).
Best of luck with the autos and audio.
