Here's my daily driver and first project car:

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T
1972 VW Beetle

and this is my most recent project:

1986 Honda Shadow VT1100C

That's a nice little collection.

I've got nothing to add to this. My only vehicle is a constant project :ouchies:

, and I walk to work.

well at present the tires on the Challenger are bald.. (plan on using my tax return for about $900 worth of tires/mounting/balancing..)

I cracked a head on the engine of the Beetle and made it as far as tearing it all apart for a full rebuild before I ran out of money, so the engine is fully dissaembled and waiting for about $170 worth of cam/lifters and about $500 worth of new heads + other minor parts here and there and last but not least..

I bought the bike with a cracked engine block and tonight I started putting it all back together, never owned a bike let alone worked on one, so i'm pretty happy at having been able to tear it down entirely and am looking forward to putting it back together and getting it running again..

The plan is to get the bike rebuilt because it cost CONSIDERABLY less for gas (regular octane in the bike at approx. 40mpg versus premium in the dodge and bug at about 18mpg and 25mpg respectively...)

but I'll be damned if that Challenger isn't fun to drive
