Vinny’s Picks

As a premium unleaded blooded, true tuner enthusiast, I find myself periodically checking craigslist for the “if I had more money I’d buy that” cars as well as just looking at cars I come across while surfing the web on forums, blogs, etc. I can’t begin to describe the collection of vehicles I would purchase if I won the lottery or just came into a large sum of money. One thing I have done is started a folder on my Hard Drive called “favorite car pics”. These are just random photos of rides I come across that I choose to save for.. well, I guess future reference. Well as I have this little collection growing, I figured I would begin to share my taste in vehicles as well as in automotive photography with everyone here on jadecrew.com.

Project “Christine” – A Halloween Restoration Project

When I was just a young buck (about the age of two), I apparently began my passion for automobiles. My father says my passion began when he purchased this little convertible Corvette matchbox car, a stingray to be exact. Well as time went on it was clear I loved automobiles, “I want this toy car”, “I want that R/C car”, were frequent demand-like requests that came out of my mouth. Well when I was around 5, my parents let me watch the movie “Christine”. A “mild” horror movie written by the famous Steven King about a geeky kid who’s a senior in High School who one day see’s this Red, 1958 Plymouth Fury in a field for sale on the side of the road for $300. Well to attempt to make a long movie short, he ends up purchasing it then obsessively restores it at a local salvage yard in exchange for a job.
