I have been hanging around on Guru for almost a year and have enjoyed getting to know everyone. I have also enjoyed the help I have gotten with my 90 and continue to get.

I was going through some stuff the other day and found these pictures and thought you might like to see some of the cars I have owned over the last 40 some years. I wished I had most of them back.

You're right, that one looks very much like my old 500. Mine was silver with a black vinyl top.....

BTW, I like all the cars you've had......

Thanks Ron, I figured out early if I got the family involved then things went a lot smoother when it was time to spend some bucks or go to a car show or run. The kids are gearheads so I figure I did my job. I have 2 daughters one lives in SoCal, one's in college and a son who is 16 and really into Mopars.

That's very smart.
I was never into taking pics of my cars and I'm beating my head against the wall because I didn't.

I did the same thing! Had a bunch of cool cars but never took pics. Still don't! I think its because knowone ever wanted to see pics especially of cars "back in the day" Have family pics!
