My daily driver is my 1997 Chevy Express van. It currently has 411,000 miles on the body. Last year at 367,000 miles its original 350 Vortec laid down on me. (You just cannot get anything to last these days.) It was running great but the plastic intake gasket blew at the water passage and dumped antifreeze internally into the engine making a chocolate milkshake out of the oil. Instead of rebuilding it I opted to buy a brand new 350 Vortec in a crate at the Chevy dealer for $2300 and installed it myself.

My other driver is a 1991 Lumina 4dr that my Mom bought new. I inherited it after she passed away in '04. It recently turned over 100K miles so it has a lot of life still left. It gets 26 MPG on the highway so I see no need to buy a new $20K car that gets the same mileage.

My wife drives our 1996 Formula Firdbird which we bought new. While it was still under warranty I played with it at the dragstrip running 8.73 1/8 mile and 13.80 1/4 mile.

My toy is a 1995 Corvette LT-1 automatic that I bought 3 years ago. It only has 53K miles on it. It has all the whistles and bells. I have pictures of it on my Facebook page.

My daily driver is Cheeves. For late night engagements we usualy have Sterling. For the weekend it is usually Roberto or Juan Carlos. When the kids want to go out then it is Elizabeth, she is so patient. For private affairs it is always Milt. (Bachelor Party)

And when I really want to go out and party, it is the Imperial Palace.

It is all original, but it does have the optional G92 performance rear axle...3.07 gear

It has run a best of 8.81 on the 1/8 mile

Most days I drive a 2002 GMC Sierra. When the weather cooperates, I drive a '69 Camaro. Never checked the fuel mileage on it, probably don't want to know. It has a 350 with a 266/272 stocker cam, cast iron intake with a Q-jet, and a 3500 stall converter. It's black with black interior and no A/C, so it's not all that comfortable in the middle of summer.

I drive a 1995 Camaro. What else? Lol! It's just a base coupe with a V-6 auto, nothing hi-performance.
