Depends on what the "old" cars are

My daily driver for the last 4 years is a 1967 F100, Is that old enough for you, and It only has 600 miles on it. Actually it just rolled over, probably for the fourth or fifth time I would guess.

I love old stepside trucks. 50/60's model are generally all awesome. Though my favorite is the Chevys from the 70's and early 80's

Id like to see the miata in action

Well my ford I not nearly as nice as that chevy, and its not a step-side, but it is a short bed(67 was the first year). Actually My truck looks like crap, the paint is faded scraped and spray-painted using multiple colors,

My air filter is from a chevy Camaro, but I made an adapter out of a can of green beans and a Frisbee.

My battery tray rusted out so I tied down my battery with a piece of Romex (building wire).

Last month I smelled electrical smoke and now my turn signals don't work.

I love old cars!

Well I know a lot of you guys have seen my 1987 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo II. Now time for some fun factory info (as it is stock)

-Engine: 13B-T @-rotor engine with twin scroll turbocharger and top mounted intercooler
-Max output: 182bhp @ 6,300 RPM
-Max Torque: 154 ft. lbs. @ 2,200 RPM
-Layout: Front/Mid-engine rear-wheel drive
-Drivetrain: 5 speed manual transmission w/ clutch-type limited slip differential
-Weight: 2,850 pounds
-Weight distribution: 51%/49% front/back
-Brakes: 4 wheel disc brakes vented

I love it. All of that tech talk translates to amazing performance on a road course. It gets its power and torque in all the right places for picking up speed through or after a turn and it handles like a dream.

I wanna see...lol...and most of my cars are actually in the "general photography" section

The bulk of my display automotive photography is located in the Automotive theme and classic automotive theme.

but this is my POS, 1985 (Mid Size) Mercury Marquis (not to be confused with full size Grand Marquis)

I was in the process of a major body work overhaul when the garage roof gave out, now it's a stalled project. And no I am not driving it, in fact the interior is out of it for floor repair.
