As much as I hate to get post given the above bikini shot (and I don't see a buffalo either... Must need glasses)..

1972 Porsche 914-4. Not the original color.. At 6'4", I can barely fit in it; It can fit UNDER most SUVs....

my sister had a 914 back in the late 70's. The Boschtronic fuel injection was a nightmare. Swapped it out for a couple webbers. Great little car till the ohio winters and salt ate it up. Nice ride. Glad to see one so well taken care of.

What a fun car. Got to drive my uncle's back in the early 80's. On the north loop of Atlanta, just having fun, I looked at speed and I was doing 105 mph with 2500 rpm to red line. Did not even know it. Got the "OH SH*T" look and backed down to 70. He never let me drive his 911 when he had it. LOL

Nice truck reb! I feel you about crappy gas mileage as mine gets 4 mpg just cruising around.

at that point it almost feels like gallons per mile instead of miles per gallon - reminds me of grandpa's old 76 f250 :lol:

Cept grandpa's truck didn't have around 400 horses. 8) This truck can cruise down the highway either pulling a load or not and if I keep my foot steady I can get almost 10 mpg. If I get my foot in it, the thing that pulls the space shuttle does better. My problem is finding non ethanol 93 octane. I run Lucas octane boost, 1 bottle a tank. It will not run on 87 octane and sits it sits some, non ethanol is the way to go.
