What cars do you have?

My wife has a 1977 MGB that was her first car she bought used. It needs work but it runs. Sits in a shed with a cover but I start it pretty regular and she will drive it occasionally. Not really worth much but nostalgic.

I had the exact year, a white one, when I was at LSU. Broke down on me all the time and once on the whiskey bay Bridge. Coasted down and found the exit.... 10pm in January. Hunters helped me fix it.

I have a soft spot for rubber-nosed MGB’s

Edited to add: my mom had an Orange 71 MGB. They brought me home from Women’s Hospital in that car.

I have a couple of old Porsches, 1980 911 and a 1986 951. I’m also a fan of British cars, use to have a Spitfire and a TR6.

I have a 1970 Chevy Fleetside long bed. I can fit in it. Old MG not so much. That car is small.

Neighbor growing up had a Sunbeam Tiger think a 67. He got killed in Vietnam and his father kept that car in immaculate shape until he died probably around 2000. Not sure what happened to it after that. Haven’t seen one of those or an MG for that matter on the road in years.

I love classic cars

When I was a kid I always chose to go in the pits at the drag races with my dad, brother and uncle instead of shopping with my mom and sister

I wish I would’ve learned more about under the hood but I can get you whatever sized wrench you need

ETA: my uncle had a 69 Chevy Nova with plenty of horse power under the hood - I don’t remember what

My dad had a 1972 Dodge Charger

In 1979/80, my high school/college boyfriend had a '55 Chevy Bel Air. very low miles (under 40K I think...)

Shift was on the steering wheel.

Hard to drive it but it was a fun car.

Wonderful little gf with a new ‘79 Midget back in the day.

Amazing what motivated people can do with a small amount of space.

We, hubby and I, have a ‘83 Jeep Scrambler. Turquoise blue. Mostly tow behind motorhome. His name is Fred.
Anywhere we drive Fred, people want to ask questions about him, or they want to outright buy him
I love Fred.

I also have an ‘04 corvette convertible, black. Bought it when I worked for GM dealership Classic, beautiful sports car.

When we first married, we had a British racing green Triumph convertible. My first car was a ‘68 Mustang.

I love classic cars!

I own a 34 Ford Highboy Roadster hot rod and a 63 Corvette Split Window. I get all kinds of attention from women when I drive them.

My model A pickup is regularly borrowed by young women for parades. I am always surprised when some high-school girl's mother asks to borrow the old truck for some homecoming parade or other school function. My 1969 Chrysler convertible also receives a lot of requests for similar functions.

My wife respects my car passion, and appreciates some of my cars. Much more passionate about the shiny new ones I buy her lol But she doesn't get in my way of all the cars I've
bought/sold/traded and appreciates the money I make off them!

A guy I used to work for gave his daughter a classic mustang. She hated it and they traded for a toyota she thought was "cute."

Very few.

They are more interested in being able to look fancy on social media so G wagons and range rovers is more their thing

I’ve got a 61 in my garage that I am going to restore once I retire. I occasionally see a red one with black top running around Lafayette.
