I'm a bit of a gearhead and these are what I currently own. A 1927 Ford with a 340 Chrysler, a 1950 unrestored Willys Jeepster, a 1981 Chevrolet C20, a 2005 Crossfire SRT6 and a Hyundai Veloster.

What a fantastic collection. I love that Willys.

I think the Crossfire SRT6 are one of the most overlooked sporty cars.

The Crossfire SRT6 is a very quick and good handling car. A legitimate low 13 second car.

The Willys has been in my family since new. It came out of my grandfather's dealership in Penticton, BC.

I am curious: how does the '81 C20 drive compared to a late model pickup? I have never driven a pickup of that vintage.

It drives very well. This one is relatively rare. It's got all the power options including a/c. It's also got a 454 with rare 3:21 gears in the 14 bolt full floater, as opposed to the usual 4:10's or 4:56's. Its pretty relaxed on the highway. It also has the "deluxe" camper special option, one step above the camper special, so it comes with a dually rear sway bar and elimi-pitch shocks that go from the box to the cab. It feels planted and smooth. It rides about the same as a newer 1 ton Ford. And with 2.5" dual glasspacks, it sounds much better!

Yeah, nice toys.

I don't think I've ever seen the spare tire on the front of a pickup. Is that a western thing?

It has the original spare tire carrier under the box, but with an 11' camper it would be difficult to get to. The previous owner added that. On a side note, the rear bumper also slides back 3' to fit behind a large camper.

Here's a low mileage 1995 Buick Park Avenue Ultra I inherited a few years back - 60,000 km. It had the supercharged 3.8, working load leveling suspension and the softest pleated leather seats I've ever sat in.
Sadly, I was rear ended by a Bison semi truck and it was totaled.

I picked up this 1996 Cadillac DeVille in Florida a few years back. It had very low mileage, about 40,000 miles. It was a great highway car. The Northstar 4.6 was a fine engine. 30+mpg.

You couldn't tell it from new. It had never seen rain.
