Why you do dis? Y u no sell other car? Y u no build underground garage?

My grandfather had a Dart Swinger 440 for a time, according to my dad, but he an uncle say it was something more tame; while my dad has a good memory, my grandfather remembers running around in diapers (At the age of 88!). My dad had a Mk2 '67 Spitfire with a rusted frame. He spent all of his money trying to repair it (that same uncle owned it before the person who my dad bought it from, who let it rust), but eventually he took it to his mechanic who told him to sell it as a parts car because it was hopeless by then. Anyways, my dad isn't a huge car enthusiast, but that was an interesting story. He shares my love of the MkIV Supra, which he plans to own as a car when he retires, though. I actually discovered his affinity for it after I had become thoroughly obsessed with the notion of someday owning one.

My grandfather was about the same. Unknown years, but some of his include: Corvair (first car), Plymouth 'Cuda (wrecked that one), VW Beetle, Diesel Rabbit P/U, Monte Carlo SS, Various Mustangs. I know there's a bunch I'm forgetting. Really wish he still had that Barracuda...
