Here's my car. It has been appropriately
nicknamed "The Golden Nugget." I think its fitting considering
how much $ I pour into it.

This is what the
Golden Nugget looked like when I got it. Check out those rims!
Here's a
more recent pic. The Centerline Warriors are a big
improvement.
Beautiful before pic
of the old 318.
Hard to believe its the same engine. Definitely a
change for the better.
73 Charger
Here's some pics of a car I used to
have. It was a beautiful car, but I just couldn't afford 2 Chargers.
I had already put a lot of time and money into my 71, so my green machine had to
go.
Not too bad looking if you ask me.
I wish the body on my 71 was this clean!
How beautiful is that?! Two Mopars
in the driveway!
The neighbors didn't know what to think.
