My all time winner is still the GTO Judge. For some insane reason this kid at my high school was given a fully restored one by his dad for his 16th birthday. Solid black.

I hated muscle cars back then for whatever reason and had never seen one. When he pulled up at school, I was instantly in awe.

He then proceeded to wrap it around a tree some time shortly before senior year trying to drag race someone. He blew it off the road about 100 yards in.

One thing nice about modern muscle cars is they are hard to just put in a ditch right off the start line.

Only proper in orange.


Somewhere my ex-wife has pictures of my '70 Cuda. I bought it when I got back from Desert Storm and put it in storage when I moved to Portland. I gave it to her to sell after the divorce and she got $800 for it from a guy in Chicago who bought it sight unseen. Wow, a '70 Cuda for $800? I'm sure he was floored when he finally saw it. I paid $5k for it.

<edit> Notice the color of the wheel to the color of the seats. Both are 2008, both are trim code "cashmere", but the wheel is darker. WTF Cadillac?

Holy crap I wish I were that guy! Sucks!

I saw this this morning and almost lost it. Makes me want to hide my dog under my desk and keep her with me always. They are such amazing animals to love us silly humans the way they do.
