New guy in Washington!

[Vman455]

Hey everybody! I just found out about this site via a thread on the Bent Car Guys forum (Seattle). Good to see there are plenty of other gay car nuts out there.

Down to business--my cars from oldest to current (with pictures where I have them):

1) 1974 Pontiac Grandville--my first car, was free from a friend of my parents. It got me around during high school at around 10 mpg, and was called by my friends "The Pimpmobile."

2) 1995 Toyota Tercel--no pictures here either. I drove this for a few years while I was an undergrad.

3) 1991 Toyota truck. Was my grandfather's; I gave it back to my father a few months ago when I bought my current truck.



4) Here's where it gets interesting: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS Final Edition (318 of 360). I've been in love with the Viper GTS since I first saw one in junior high, and two years ago I finally got one. Kept it for a year and a half, put 10,000 miles on it in that time, drove it cross-country multiple times, and in general had a blast with it.



5) The vehicle I traded the Viper in on is my current, slightly more practical ride, a 2005 Dodge Ram SRT-10. I've had it for ~6 months now and enjoy autocrossing it, believe it or not.



My boyfriend is half as Mopar-crazy as I am. He has a 1999 Grand Cherokee Limited, and a 1994 Camaro. I enjoy pointing out to him that I have a truck that's faster and quicker than his "sports car" and can tow more than his Jeep :-)

Anyway, that's a little about me. I'm looking forward to hanging out on this forum in addition to the others I frequent.

I'll have to see if I can dig some up. I'm going again July 5 and could try to get some then. It's funny to see the looks on people's faces when you roll up to the starting gate in a truck....

I bet that Viper photo is leaving a lot of people here torn over what to stare at more! The truck looks great too.

My dad had a old plymouth furry with a 440 and some other goodies back in the day. That must be why I have a softspot for Mopar.
