What else do you collect?

[jfkheat]

Fast cars. I have been into muscle cars since the mid 1970s. I have owned several over the years. I currently have three muscle cars. The first is a 1968 Beaumont SD396 that I have owned for almost 22 years. It originally had a 396 engine with 325 horsepower. It now has a 427 with 543 hp. A year ago this month I bought a 2023 Camaro ZL1 with 650 hp. Last month I bought a 2023 Challenger Hellcat with 717 hp. My daily driver is a 2024 Silverado High Country with 425 hp.

That's what I like to hear! If you absolutely, positively have to drive somewhere, well you want to get to the next stoplight fast.

Do you favour one piece mag wheels? What's your choice in tires? I'm still a fan of 60 series B.F. Goodrich Radial T/A's.

Which do you prefer? Turbo mufflers or glass packs, e.g. Cherry Bombs?

I collect first edition Magic The Gathering Cards.
Fun fact: each card pictured only around 1,000 were ever produced (in the first edition).

Top speed is useless for any normal purpose. It's the acceleration from zero that's the key.

Grumman Hellcat faster than Dodge Hellcat. 2000 hp, top speed 417 mph.

video games, star wars figures, photos, but mostly soccer (and some F1 stuff)... I thought that I had more pictures, but these rare Fangios will have to do for this post....

Not street legal. Worse yet I can't even find an NHRA class for it.

Grew up in the 80's playing arcade games and collected Nintendo NES games when that came out. I was talking to my boss about it one day and he said that he had a guy that refurbishes stand up arcade machines and loads them up with modern equipment and puts many classic games on it. This one I got from him has 4610 total games on it. Haven't played any of my Nintendo games ever since as they are on this stand up.

I used to put on WW2 fly-ins along with Ace Symposiums, seeing a Hellcat up close, watching them fly by, and talking to the old timers that flew them in combat was a magical experience.
I had many conversations with Buth Voris who was one of the the most gracious humans I've known about his combat experience in a Hellcat, amazing.
Butch started the Blue Angels after the war in 1948 with Hellcats. I miss men like him in today's society.

The ZL1 and Hellcat still have the factory wheels and tires, Goodyear and Pirelli. The Beaumont has factory style rally wheels and BFG TA Radials.
