Current toy in progress: a 1985 Buick Rivera, with 20 thousand miles on it. Not worth much, but pristine and easy to get someone to work on. Hasn't been started since 2006 (the year the owner, my long-time friend passed away).

I'll take it to car shows and charity drives with my youngest, a real "car guy". His garage is bigger than his house. Currently, it houses an old modified Miata for racing, a 55 Chevy "Rat Rod", some old restored Cushman scooters, and a kit bike or two.

Also picked up a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4,312 miles on it...loaded with GPS, leather, full-time 4WD, back-up camera, etc. 12.9 mpg (UGH). Belonged to the widow of my friend, the former owner of the Rivera. She was recently placed under guardianship.

The Rivera gets new tires, all new belts, battery, converted air and a polish. should be gorgeous. Been garaged for the last 7 years.
