If I had $140,000

I'd buy me a new car. Not just any car. Here.....let me find some pictures.










Some of you might be thinking that this is just a corvette. You couldn't be more wrong! Corvettes don't come with twin turbos. They don't come with over 600hp to the wheels all while running on pump gas. They don't even come this sexy! Only 25 of these sexy things will be built next year. I put this car up there with the 1969 Yenko Camaro

Almost 40 years later, these Camaros have been appraised and sold for well over $1.1 million USD at Barrett-Jackson auctions.

I can't help to but to think about what a corvette like that would be worth 40 years from now. It's not a car you'd drive every day to work and school. So you might have 80,000 miles on it by then.


Maybe you are asking your self why not just buy a Porsche. The 911 turbos start out around $130,000 (I got mine up to over $150,000). Then I wouldn't have a one of 25 corvette. It would be a Prosche, just like every other one out on the road.

So yeah, that is what I would do with $140,000.

Cars and Trucks I want.

If you don't know I am a car / truck guy. So while driving around today, I thought I should put together a lil list of cars and trucks I want.

I think I should start off with a work truck. Work trucks have to be big and strong. Size matters here. Go big or go home. So I think the 1947 Dodge Power Wagon fits this bill just fine.




















I don't want to go to the store in this big noisy dirty beast of a truck. So I need something to take the kids to school in. A good all around grocery getter, so to speak. You are not a Chevy fan if you don't like the Chevy nomad. Only thing is have you seen how much those cost!?!?! Freaking crazy. So I'm going with the 1959 Cadillac. Ok so I don't know how much those cost, but here's some pics...






Seen in such great movies as Ghostbusters. Ok, so I guess I don't need the coffin, just put a seat back there or something. Maybe chop the top. Nothing to fast just some real nice clean lines. Maybe Jet black with some 20in. chrome wheels. Maybe a bright eye catching yellow. Or maybe even all white with some old school white wall tires. white leather seats with white carpet.

Next I need something fun to drive. I just have 4 questions.

1. Top up
2. Top down
3. old school
4. new school

Now I got 2 cars picked out for this spot. I just want one, just don't know.






This would be a replica of James Dean's Porsche 550 spyder. If you can't tell this would be old school with the top down.

Now for new school.






Porsche 911 (or 996) turbo. Has to be the turbo model. Mmmmm sound of that turbo spinning. Getting moist just thinking about that.

So yeah, there is my list. Now I just need money and a 7 car garage!
