I drive a 92 Mercedes 190e with the straight six. Love the old benzes, they
are tanks. My other ride is a 95 e320 Wagon, the last of the good
benzes... and a 73 Honda CB350! First bike was a 99 GS500 that I rode to
vancouver and back 2 weeks after getting my license. Did crotch rockets
(R6, ZX6R)
Sports cars aren't for me .. I don't have any self control. Even with the
auto tranny benz I let the rear end slide around quite a bit. I used to
lane split on one wheel back when I had the R6.
Yeah yeah I know, juvenile, totally.
Give me a 10500lb yacht or one of the old W126 long wheelbase
That said... when your boat is that demanding, you get to know your
way around its storage lockers pretty well.

My favs to date include:
1959 MGA (first car that I totaled in about a week - my older brother

1948 Ford Round Back Coupe with a 265 Chevy engine

There are almost 20,000 fonts here, mostly free. While that may sound
imposing, it isn't that hard to get close to what you want fairly quickly.
When you click on a font you like the look of you can enter your boat name
