when I'm not building Petes , I'm into my other passion: hot cars! I have a 2001 Trans Am , an '89 Camaro RS with a LS1 and a six speed tranny , and my "mini rig" : a '95 Chev Silverado dually. When you're not on the road , do you have a toy of your own waiting in the garage? Just curious about this.

Here's some pics of my toys:
![]() ![]() The convertible is in the process of having a '99 LS1 5.7 V8 and a T56 six speed manual transmission swapped into it. I have spent enough on it to have bought the Trans Am and had some change left over. The LS1 is not stock , either.

I don't have one, but if I could have my dream car, it would be a 1968 Camaro. I love those cars! The 69's are great too, but I like the body style of the 67 & 69 a little better. As I understand it, the 69 has better handling, suspension, etc. I had a boss that I worked for that had a 68 that he put a newer 350 engine in. It was the royal blue with the white stripes, that thing was beautiful! Talk about not having your dream, right now I drive a '99 Saturn. It does get about 40 mpg on the highway though.

I dont have one, but if I did it would be a 1968 Dodge Charger with the 440 sixpack. It has been my favorit car since I was a kid. Maybe the Dukes of Hazard had somthing to do with that!!
