I like cars as well. This is my daily, 2012 Mini Cooper S. It's fun to drive, handles great, and easy to park where I live.

I just got my Florida Drivers License renewed for another 5 years so I thought I might as well get a new sports car while I am still able. The 2013 CTS V is a real power house for me and it puts the old XRL to sleep with the 556 HP engine. My grand sons Corvette hides in the corner when it sees me coming. The Caddy is all black with black wheels and red brake shoes. A real show stopper. Go to your Cadillac dealer and take a test drive. I think you will be very happy with an AMERICAN car. Sincerely, HUBERTUS

My newest car-2014 Lincoln MKZ. Also pictured are my O5 X-type Jag and an 04 Subaru WRX. Not pictured are my 02 X-type Jag and 99 Subaru sport wagon(my winter beater!). Both Jags have blown motors and hate to scrap them so maybe new motors in the future. And both are standards. Motor in WRX is shot also! Planning on putting an STi motor in it. Now I need to win the lottery to buy all the motors I'll need!! Oh wait--I did win the Lottery! Got 5 out of 6 numbers so took home 33K after taxes! Paid off a bunch of bills and had enough left over to buy the MKZ! So the way I look at it-the MKZ only cost me $1!!!!

My brother, David A. Wetzel Sr. (79 years old) won 1st place (for Camaro) at the car show in Pompton Lakes, N. J. this weekend with his 1967 SS/RS CAMARO.
He also came in 2nd place for Pro Modified (picture with the girl).
His son has a Silver 1929 Custom 4-door FORD (last picture).
The car pictures are from about 2 years ago.
I have owned a 1968 Dodge Coronet 500 w/440CU engine, 1957 Chevy 4-door wagon w/350CU engine, 1986 Chevy SS Monte Carlo w/350CU engine.

Thanks, my older brother, David was always working on his hot rods and drag racing since I was young. He had 55' & 57' Chevys, Rocket 88 Oldsmobile, 55 Chevy pickup (that did wheelies), 1962 Corvette and 1933 5-window Ford (with the 62' Corvette engine and trans).
Here is my 1986 Chevy SS Monte Carlo w/350CU engine, with "T" roofs. Photo was taken in Sussex Co. New Jersey while looking for Indian chert arrowheads in the cornfields across the street.
I drove it for a few years before I finally took out the T-roofs and enjoyed the open roof on some long summer rides.

My brother's wife sent me a picture of my brother's 1933 5-window Ford. This picture is from about 1972 when I was in High School.
My brother spent 9 months building this car with a custom frame and 62' Corvette engine and trans.
He hired someone to do the interior and was not satisfied, so he redone it himself with Naugahyde in a diamond tuck pattern. This car was very fast and beat a Hemi Charger in a street race. This is one of my favorite cars my brother owned.
The shifter was from his 62' Corvette and very short. I think he was only able to see with one eye over the dash when he was shifting, and he scared the heck out me.

Correction: my brother told me his Chevy Corvette was a 1961 model year. The motor he said, was "bored-over" size.
I remember he used to drag race the car and one time he took me for a fast ride down Route 23 with the racing slicks still on the back wheels after returning from drag racing.
