My rides at and to the beach.
I live very rural and tool around town in a Yamaha R-Max 1000 side by side.
I don't recall posting in this thread before, but forgive me if I did and missed it. I am a lifelong sports car fan, restorer and racer. Some of the current 'fleet"

Very nice. Was that last photo one of the vintage days at Westwood?

It was indeed, and the first photo was at Portland and the following one was at Seattle.
This one was at Laguna Seca right after I was switching from regular racing to vintage, and before I had revised the nose of the car and wheels to look more vintage.
The 4 wheel disc brakes and this special engine were a lot of fun to develop in a vintage car.

It's just stuff - but fun
My main "gig" ride (gigs and trips to Lowes) hit a deer about three years ago. It had 154k miles on it so I took the $3600 and just replaced the headlight with after market. One is a fisheye for high beams and the other a flood for low beams. Better than the factory lights. And the car now has 233k on it and going strong. Still on the original clutch and doing great. And yes, the right turn signal works.
My wife refuses to be seen in this car.
When it's not freezing and I want to have fun or we're going somewhere nice (or I want to be less embarrassing at the golf course
), I use this one. It has 187k on it and is also a solid ride. I bought both of them new.

I looked at that picture and said to myself, that looks like NM or AZ. Then I saw your profile location.

Knew it must be, god I miss that track. We used to 4 by up the powerlines and go watch motorcycle and sidecar racing all the time, hang out by the Deer's Leap or closer to the hairpin. I was at the last vintage weekend way back, it was always such a fun event, we were quite sad to walk away knowing it was for the last time.
Looks like you've had a lot of fun in the sport, you're a very lucky man.

Sweet car! I had those same speakers and a pair of Miinimus 7s in my 72 Ranchero with an underdash Pioneer cassette super tuner and a Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. Ah the good old days!Every year she gets a bit farther along. And yes, those are Pioneer TS-X6 speakers on the deck.

The best front wheel drive car GM ever made! I had the opportunity to drive a new 1966 when they first came out in a NY blizzard to pick up a friend at the airport. It was his car, and I was one of the few cars that didn't run off or get stuck on the side of the road!
