Of course we know he's part of the reason the Impala is in the corner !
A small part, but I blame his mom.
Car pics too cool not to share

Beautiful cars. I've seen one in person and was surprised at how big it is. That's one of those cars that look good stock or chopped & rod'ed.
'37 seem to be the pinnacle year of automotive styling to me of the pre-WWII cars.
I just stumbled on this thread today.
It looks like it's ok to post non Jeep but automobile related content.
So I have a little content that I could share.
This is a 1979 IH Scout II that I had back in the early/mid 80's.
I raised it 11" over stock with a 3" body lift and without any suspension lift. The suspension increase came from flipping the axles since the Scouts come factory with under spring axles. So by relocating the springs on top of the axles and rotating them to help drive line angle it gained me just about 8" lift still using stock springs and shocks. Of course all new steering linkage needed to be built.
Those are 39x15.5x15 Mickey Thompson Baja Belted tires that rode very nice and were actually pretty quiet for what they are.

Obviously that one is gone, and it was a good looking one, do you have any other toys?
Yes, it is long gone.
Thanks
I sold it when we built our new house back in 1986. Used the money for the house. I know, being responsible, what was I thinking. LOL
I do have a few ..
Mostly the reason I can't spend all my time and funds on just the Wrangler..
This is my 1951 Ford Victoria that is mostly restored to stock with a few hot rod items here and there.
It still has a flathead V8 but has been replaced by one from a Mercury. 3 on the tree with overdrive. I did upgrade to front disc brakes for safety/driveability..

I also have this 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Sunliner convertible. It also is restored to mostly stock with a few upgrades.
Most obvious are the Crager SS wheels and wide radials. This car I also upgraded to power front disc brakes. It came factory with power steering and automatic transmission.
It's really fun to cruise in.
You have excellent tastes in vehicles, my friend! And yes, that includes the corn binder!

Thanks, I appreciate that...
Thought I might post this also. It's not ground based so it might not apply..
This is my current Cessna 172N.
It's completely factory other than upgraded exhaust for 10 more HP.
I've been flying a little over 20 years and owned a Cessna 150M for the first 13 years.
And the mountains of central Indiana....
Oh wait... Yep, there aren't any for sure.
Here's the Cessna 150M I had before.
