Show me yours......I'll show you mine.....

There certainly are some hot cars in AW.org garages! I've searched for pics of my first car, a '73 Mustang, my favorite car; 1979 Olds Cutlass Supreme Limited, but can't find one!

Keep up the pics - this is very fun indeed!

Another aspect of summer Fun....

Finally stopped raining in Ct. and some 'summer fun' besides automobiles is hanging your load out to dry....

Nice stiff towels...for that exfoliation process...

 

[mixfinder]

OMG

Gary,

When you hang your load out to dry, doesn't it drip?

A whole new way of looking at drip dry! LOL

Gary: At our age, having the energy taking it out to get some air and hanging it out for all to see. What a marvel! And such a nice big white load. Good boy. The environment thanks you for saving energy. I'm sure the smell of it is wonderful.

Oh Dan. This picture I remember well. Thanks for posting it again. Let's just say certain aspects of the scenery are permanently emblazoned in my mind from its first posting.

*LOL*

someone get me my meds...............

Do I smell Clorox?

Yes Veg....Clorox was used in that load

I always thought Clorox would turn colors completely white....did not realize till I tried it that it did not take the colors out of the clothes and turn them white(mostly towels).
I just feel better putting the Clorox into the dispenser of my Neptune....and I do like the smell. And drying outside heightens that sense of olfactory pleasure.

My daily driver

I REALLY need to stop buying a new one every 2 years. Wether needed or not this is my 4th Civic...

 

[geoff]

Cybrvanr.....

My window sticker and VIN show that mine is one of only 10% of all Civics that are still fully made and assembled in Japan. All parts were made and assembled in Osaka Japan I believe?? I don't remember, I would have to look at my window sticker... Not all Honda's have been americanized. Mine runs around 3200 RPM in 5th gear at about 70 MPH. It does red-line though at 7000 RPM. The last one I had which was a 2003 was far more tame at highway speeds and was also built in East Liberty, Ohio... I was very glad to see more "Foreign" in my new 2006..

My Toy

Here is the car that my partner bought new in 1986. He hated the fact that I always bought a Cadillac and took his opportunity to get rid of my '87 Sedan Deville by offering me this car when he was going to trade it in by trading in my 1987 Sedan DeVille instead. I took the bait and still have it to this day. It's not my daily driver, but now that he is gone, it has sentimental value and it is a beauty.

Another Shot

That's my daily driver in the background. A 2004 Volvo S80 T6. Love that thing. Actually, love them both. One of these days I will get my hands on a 1967 Chrysler Imperial convertible and it will live in the single garage next to the Volvo. That part of the garage is housing the Maytag 906 pair from Greg Nunn until my contractor shows up to put in the 220V line for the dryer in my laundry room.

Cool cars everyone; except for the foreign car owners.
Here's mine!

Thank you Jeff for sharing the pictures. I would have thought the interior would have had lighter seats, but it looks great. I assume the Electra was related to the Chevrolet Caprice?

Parking space at work...

Since I work in the center of a European town there is no such thing as parking space for cars. Only very expensive parking garages that will cost a few hundred a month. That's the reason I go to work by bike. It's only ten minutes! Here's my new bike parked at the back of the office. I use my bike more than my car.

Louis, the Electra was the top of the line Buick.

 

[cehalstead]

cool cars

Yes, there are some great cars here, but for everyday use, I'll take my "foreign" Toyota over most anything else. Used to buy Detroit's output, but after buying my first import, I'll never go back (and have had four "imports" since)... The quality is...in one word....superior.

 

[gansky1]

your bike ?

Is your bike the shell of your car ? (just kidding), oh by the way, gregm asking this not gansky? (am using his PC - hehehe)

Electra and Caprice

Louis, The only think the Electra and Caprice had in common was that they were both the TOL of their respective GM divisions. The Caprice Classic was actually more closely related to the Buick LeSabre, they shared the same platform/wheelbase. The Electra's GM cousin would have been the Olds 98
The Electra had a longer wheelbase by maybe 2 or 3 inches?

In the 60's the Electra had an overall lenght of 225 inches (5.72 m!), hence the "Electra 225" name. The TOL model was the Electra 225 Limited.
