This is a cool thread!

I also have some big toys.
155.JPG
Alfa Romeo 155 16V Trackday toy.
Very well balanced, but could use more power.
And no, the decals did not make it faster... :D

7.JPG
Lotus Seven type clone. 2 litre Ford engine. Fantastic fun on the track!
7_1.JPG
Built from a partial kit containing frame, wishbones and fiberglas body.
Took me about five years on and off to put it together. I hope my Jrx2 project goes faster... :wink:
It is street legal and it's my precious. :)

Had my new wheels installed today on my f150. Now I need to get my fender flares painted and my new cab corners I installed last year.

Been a GM guy my entire existence up until a couple years ago when we started to get Fords for the family truckster…
And now I’ve picked up one for myself :D

That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

I think that you'll be happy. Generally, the fit and finish on Ford trucks is a step above the rest. Not saying that anyone else makes poor trucks (maybe Dodge), but the Ford trucks just seem a little more refined.

Centerlines, deck spoiler, and headlight covers. Gotta be the mid/late 90's.

I've had several Fox bodies through the years. I still have my 92 coupe, though I haven't touched it in a while.

Nailed it. Typical late '90s "hotness"....lol. 306 w/10:1 fordged pistons, GT40P heads, F303 cam, Trickflow dual springs & 1.6 roller rockers, Trickflow Trackheat intake, 70mm TB, 75mm mass air, BBK long tubes, 2.5" H-pipe w/ Mac 2-chamber catback, MSD 6AL, world class T5, Centerforce dual friction, 3.73s, FMS 1.5" lowering springs. Edit: just realized those two above pics were pre-lowering springs.
Tunes came from; Kenwood Excelon head unit, Alpine Type S dash, door & rear speakers, MTX 800watt Thunder amp and three 10" MTX Blue Thunder subs in the trunk.

If I still had it today, it would be very different.

Tubbed Pintos are so cool! Saw a black tubbed out Pinto slammed to the weeds at Bandimere a long time ago and it was badass!

I believe we are legally required to ask if you have a Hemi in it. :lol: So, does that have a Hemi in it?

Yeah, with a Cummins! :wink: :mrgreen:

My work buddy just bought a new Dodge as well, Cummins, crew cab, long bed, 4wd. About the only upgrade he didn't do was leather interior. He upgraded from the same truck that was only a couple years old, but it was a gas burner and didn't handle his 30' 5th wheel travel trailer too well. The new truck will pull the trailer up grades at 70mph with power to spare. Heck, it even gets nearly 20mpg when he isn't towing.
