I love those old Cadilcas, my father had a 1970 Fleetwood Brougham about 30 years ago. He also had a 1962 Cadilac with the fins.

Those cars were made for a different era though, when gas was about 35 cents a gallon, back in the late 1960's through late 1973, when gas prices spiked up to.. 70-80 cents a gallon!

Yep, I remember my first car was a Caddie and when gas jumped from 45c to 49c I freaked out!

Thumbs up 2002 Mitsubishi Montero Sport (Black)



I drive one of these in black, and it's my Japanese winter-weather mobile... and I trust it over anything else because it was tested on the roughest terrain (mt. fuji)

Here is one of mine out at the hunting camp, day after Thanksgiving this year. 99 Chevy Suburban. This is about 16 miles from the nearest plowed road and the bugger tows the old camper like no tomorrow.

My truck, well, my boyfriend's truck really, but it's got my name on it!

It's been titled the BIG RED TRUCK since we bought it and is only refered that way. Everyone thinks it is kick*** and well, it is! Upgraded Z71 package with exhaust system, K&N air intake system, Bose, adjusted engine computer chip so to get max gas mileage, sounds beefy without being obnoxious, and the red and black colors just scream check me out...

I never understood the phenomona in Arizona to put the state flag on the front bumper. Seems like every other car there has that. It looks ok on certain colored cars, but seeing it on a, say, forest green Buick looks hideous. Totally clashes. Ugh.

LOL... Okay Steve, I'll talk to our Governor to see if she can make a new law to ban Arizona flags on Forrest Green Buicks..
