Default my daily driver

Hey all,

Here is a mock-up of my daily driver. She's a sweet 93 Sedan Deville, 4.9 V-8 with I believe 275 ponies. Great sleeper. I can spin the tires at 10-20 miles per hour when I punch it. The stock look is getting a little long in the tooth so I can going to put rims on my Christmas list. .

Here is my choice. These are Edge Chaos Wheels and really like them for 20's

I wish I had a daily beater....... Here is my new (to me) toy that will eventually become my mode of transport to work to reduce wear on the Monte.....

Instead of going all out on my first bike I decided to go with a used bike to learn on and graduate to the one I really want. This one is a 96' GSX 750.. Just picked it up yesterday, sounds mean and is pretty darn fast. Not sure what mods were done to it but it seems to be very strong and well taken care of. I'll get some more pics of it up soon...

Nice way to enter the sport Montejass

Here I am with my little monster. It is a 1990 FJ1200 with under 20K miles and in near mint condition. It has a mountain of mods which probably puts about 108 ponies at the rear tire. It is a old technology but it still holds it's claim to fame, 60-100 in under 3 seconds. I call her my "Torque Monster" which is probably an huge understatement.

Hey Dave, you & Montejass will have to get together & line them up
Your bike is `Sweet & you are a lucky man to have all those toys.

Any problems with your LTZ ? The 3.9 is really a awesome engine. I was surprised on how good it performs. Wish you safe miles with all your toys.

Man, that thing looks clean for a 90'. I like the old school sport bikes. Overall this bike is nice but I have some work to do. The guy that had it before me painted it a dark plum, I am thinking about repainting it to match my Monte, Galaxy Silver...

Space, I doubt I would ever ride this thing across country to CA. That would be pretty much hell on a pocket rocket.. Beside, I think it's safe to say he would win.. Not sure what mods were done to mine but stock it has 91.8 HP...
