So let's hear about and see your cars.

Been there, done that.... grew up riding dirt bikes as a teen and motorcycles as soon as I was licensed. My last bike was a Kawi GPZ1100 that I had up to 140mph. I spent my 21st birthday and the following six weeks in the hospital, after I t-boned a car that ran a stop sign. I fractured two vertebrae, a hip socket, pelvis (titanium rod) and had a compound fracture in my leg (titanium plate), among other internal bruises and external wounds. When I got back to 90%, two years and five surgeries later, I decided to give up bikes and took up sky diving, since it offered a much better rush and was a lot safer!
We raced arena motocross in the winter…. My son raced 450 class I paid for it….. he screwed up on one of those high jumps he hit the dirt first and the front wheel came down and rode up his chest neck and face….. it left a perfect knobby bruise of the tread…..he was fine …. We get home and my wife sees this and starts punching me….. screaming that’s it enough with the racing….. she is a little shit but I tell you it hurt….. that was it for racing

That's hilarious!

Don't mess with Mama's kids!
 
My son raced go karts for quite a few years. He never had any bad crashes but had a few where there were damaged and broken parts and sore muscles. We kept that quiet...lol. The last few years he was racing TaG karts that would hit about 75MPH. We kept that quiet too...lol

Wife’s birthday present, 2024 Porsche Cayenne, upgraded from a 2013 Diesel Cayenne. She wanted more bells and whistles, boy this is loaded with them, and still sporty enough for me.
 
I have never been able to get down with Porsche. Maybe I need to drive one and see what they're all about. Nice color!

I was exactly same way until I started tracking my first one. It's amazing the abuse those cars can take and just keep giving. Sold me on the brand.

We looked at the Porsche SUVs then decided to buy a 2023 Maserati Grecale to accompany the 2016 Quattroporte. Since the wife got a new car I treated myself to a vintage toy, a 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV to add to the stable. Ever since I got rid of the Carver, there seems to be more fun tickets available for toys!

Growing up in South Africa that GTV was the absolute BOMB. I follow those on BAT all the time. Great purchase. Congrats
 
Why? No comprende
Busy traveling, the boat…and the car club we roll with got Real boring. Used to do cars and coffee. Car shows got boring just sitting around all day.

Been on the boat for almost a month and a half. We left our daughter alone with the house. Afraid of what we’re going to find when we get home.
