Me too. And boats, and planes. Here's my truck: Tower Terror with a .28 CID Axial Racing Spec 1S engine. I haven't swapped over the electric start from the old engine yet. Just one speed and no reverse.

Got the same, sorry no pics..Does 55 mph 4wd, found the pull start had less ommph than the other, been couple of yrs since even thought about it...Ya nitromethane 5 % oiling. brothers got a couple helicoptors, now there is some tuning Gents... Also have a plane that has never left the ground. lol Wanted after 10 yrs just to take her up and crash her.. it was paid for by then.HA my yr old project below: BIG BLUE. Mines on the right..105 mph and still pulling.had to back off.. love it.

Boost231 you wouldn't understand. But I could be wrong..LOL:D Not sure what it would do against a GN. Never take mine out in winter..

nitromethane

i'm working on getting my volkswagen sandrail to run on nitromethane/methanol injection without blowing up. haven't started it yet. i'm afraid that i'll blow up my garage.
 
Hrm way to many toys but my main rush outside of buicks is fire fighting. I go quading dirt biking, rock climbing all kinds of stuff but nothing give me a better rush then fighting a house fire or drag racing...

...nothing give me a better rush then fighting a house fire or drag racing... QUOTE]
I totally agree with what you say - I was a FF for 18 years in my local community long ago, trained all the way though Instructor and such and spent a lot of time specializing in vehicle rescue and hazmat as well. I remember the days before airpacks were required for vehicle fires - ugh. Marriage/kids and career caused me to stop - if either of my kids want to do it, I will support it. It was some of the best experiences I've ever had.

as for other than Buicks since I don't have one right now, the project car in my sig has kept me busy for the last couple of weeks, I'm about to turn that over to the wife as a DD. (Anyone want to buy a '05 Volvo XC70 w/36.5k miles?)
 
Just sold the wagon two months ago..
Still like piloting the 69 Camaro..
And lastly my 51 chevy 5 window p/u.

Don't have a picture of my 65 chevy II..

All the turbo buicks are unfortunately long gone...
