Madarmour Neutral Newbie October 27, 2002 Share October 27, 2002 In SG, it will remain that the only the very rich can own/collect muscle cars. I'm sure you know the reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado Neutral Newbie October 30, 2002 Author Share October 30, 2002 Hi turbobrick: I'm in San Antonio. A nice small town with popular places like the River Walk, where shopping malls and lounge, hotels and restaurants are on both sides of the river. A great place to have beer and party. I collect muscle cars like the Camaro ('60s), Corvette, Mustang and some Mercedes SLs, etc. Currently driving a 5.7L V8 Silverado 4X4 (like a rock); thats what they advertise in the TV, BMW 328 and my wife a Toyota Camry. I use the Silverado to "pull back" cars that I'd bought both here and Canada. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado Neutral Newbie October 30, 2002 Author Share October 30, 2002 Hi Lester: I'm not sure about Freeport. You may drop me a mail when you're in Texas. I'm in San Antonio. You may come to my house and I'll show you my muscle car collection. Visit the Stockyard when in Texas, cowboy town, see some bull riding and rodeo. I live in an acreage about 20 acres and its very country. My home is about 20 minutes drive from downtown San Antonio. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgoh Neutral Newbie October 31, 2002 Share October 31, 2002 (edited) That's alright. In Klub 28, these things tend to happen!!! I also forgot about the Challenger, Trans Am, Chevelle SS, Torino... Having driven the Trans Am, Corvette '67 and '76, Camaro SS and Z28, GTO, and Baracuda... My favourite is still the Corvette Stingray '67. Both looked 'tight' and felt 'tight'... meaning: the drive was definitely more compact and precise than later models. (Its the second one, grey, in the pic below): Then, how about the latest iteration??? Edited October 31, 2002 by Jgoh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged October 31, 2002 Share October 31, 2002 (edited) Nice pics!!! Wah, the more names you mention, the more senior i feel in Klub28 if poor memories is the key benchmark to decide senority ........ hey, you muz have spent quite some time in the states to have driven so many of these m cars????...... i doubt i will have the chance to drive these cars (unless rental car companies have them for hire!!??...., some of them do, don't they??? but charge a bomb ???>....... )...... hmmmm.... are you based in the states now and have a few m cars in your garage???....... can i pay you a visit then??? cheers Edited October 31, 2002 by Super7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgoh Neutral Newbie October 31, 2002 Share October 31, 2002 Super7. I'm now based in Singapore. Studied and worked in the States before. Have always dreamt about them as a youngster. But when I finally got behind the wheels, I was sorely disappointed by the build quality. So never owned one. Most of these drives were from an arrangement where I availed myself as a driver to deliver these cars to buyers throughout the USA. You can imagine the number of classes I skipped doing that!!! As for the pictures, the Corvette is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and they have a 50th Anniversary Edition. The first pic shows all the 5 generations of Corvette (C1 to C5) lining up at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. And, the second pic demonstrates why I still think the Corvette is the sexiest car, EVER!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie November 1, 2002 Share November 1, 2002 Hi Bro, The Silverado is really a monster right? I do like the Avalanche, it's really cool Now I'm just hoping after graduation I can find a job here to continue working and perhaps start my very own car collect (read: Dodge Vipers ). Many claimed that the Viper is rude, crude and all American ego and that's my cuppa tea Gimme torque baby! I'm currently in a rental apartment 5mins from OSU, first year in Uni and probably another 3 more to go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
