    That and the Studebaker are the only pick-ups that look good.

    Some say that new doesn't meet the collector theory, I tend to disagree. I would have one of these.

    The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC. Because, really, what else are you going to spend 3-4 Million dollars on that is this much fun?

    Well, if you take proper care of a motorcar its beauty will be maintained and it will remain faithful forever. The other item can dip you in the brown stuff no matter how well you care for it.

    It's a little odd looking.
    The front end is pure 1960s British sports car while the rear end is 1930s art deco.
    Works for me though.

    (this isn't mine, but what mine is gonna be someday :D)
    still need to fix the vacuum to the 4x, find a short in the headlights, insulate the master shift cylinder and reroute the alternator engage. And re-paint it.

    Well ......

    Judging by the bounce I'd say you'll be needing some heavy-duty seat belts if you don't want the car to go on without you. But it sounds like your list of "to-do" is short and simple.

    I also have to chop a bit of the unibody to fit on the bigger tires. Im waiting til I have a better welder, jic.

    And the alternator reroute seems simple enough, but I keep melting wires. Its got me scratching my head.

    And ur right, shes not the smoothest ride. I put heavier springs on her for a lift...
