Well. We got the GF’s 73 F250 home from the shop and some wheels and tires. Full detail job since it had sat the last 5 years and rotted from when her BIL and sister had it and were “ taking care “ of it.
I like the patina of the Original as it sits , she wants it repainted to its Original glory.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CFII: If I werent 6'4" I would own one. It would be perfect to compliment my Hellcat. I'm 6'4" 235lb and I fit nicely in my GTI (compliment to my Scat Pack). 2016 GTI SE. Might be worth a look if you're into hot hatch stuff. Manual transmission, easily tunable, handles well. Fun car.

I’ve had a company car for a couple years so my 2.0 ATS Sedan commuter car hasn't seen much action.
Flew to NOLA and picked this 2018 ATS-V Coupe in Vector Blue Metallic up and drove back to Ft Worth. 35k miles, CAI, missing the Recaros, PDR, and sunroof, but IDGAS, I’m in love. Off to our first coffee and cars in the am.  Attached File |
