I have always liked cars and I almost bought a 1965 mustang while in high school in the 1980's. A more mature adult talked me out of it and told me to wait so I did. Finally, in 2015, I bought my first collectible car, a 1970 Buick Skylark Custom 350. I had the motor and trans rebuilt, new interior, and body off restoration.

I later bought a 1988 Dodge Ramcharger because I think they are the best looking trucks on the road. I spruced up the red interior with new carpet and put in a nice stereo.

I added my uncle's 1987 Buick Grand National that he bought new. 65k miles. This needed a new old stock stereo and speakers, engine work, and a whole new brake system.

Lastly, in 2020, I bought a red 2012 Cadillac CTS-V 2 door coupe for its looks. The 556 horsepower supercharged LS-A was a bonus.

I am happy to live in Southeast Michigan which has a large car culture. Makes sense since it is the birthplace of the industry. There are many cruises, car shows, and museums. The best are the Woodward Dream Cruise and the Henry Ford Museum. Even the local weekly cruise nights have museum quality cars.
