How could I forget my Police Car Phase:

1970 Fury II 440 (Bent all pushrods at 135 mph) Big Block Posi, This car invented drifting. It should have been illegal for a teenager to own such a machine.

1991 9C1 Caprice (At the time it was the current police car body style) Extra clean plain white wrapper. Most entertainment I have ever had behind the wheel. Free car washes, never waited at a 4 way stop sign. In 4 years no one pulled out in front of me or cut me off. Not once! 80 in the passing lane all by myself, life was good.

1994 LT1 Caprice Beautiful big fast car. Could blow the doors off the Mustang GT.

About 60 other winter beaters, field, and parts cars...

mcich, I like your descriptions, really brings your cars to life
your full size cars got me thinking how I always liked the big cars when I was a kid, especially Caddys Chevs and Pontiacs, I'd still to this day like to have a 76 Eldo convert or a 73 GrandVille convert uh.. too many to name so I'll stop now

 

[mcich7781]

76 Eldo, OMG!!! you can use the hood to land aircraft. Always loved the Grand Villes. (Remember the movie the 7-Ups?) I hope there is one out there with a 502 Big Block eating Ricers.

I had to wait until I was 52 to get mine. The main thing is you now have it. Go out in the garage and look at it, and then pinch yourself, it's really there. I do it all the time. With my consevative wife just owning a Corvette is a miracle. My C4 cost less than a good used minivan. These cars are a bargain for their beauty and performance.

For years I would look at my Red 97 Firebird in the garage and in my mind morph it into a C4. That's how desperate I was.

Now go out there and pinch yourself. It's really there.
