What's your favorite Hot Rod?

Let's hear about the bikes?
Just a guess, but one is maybe a Panhead Harley?

LOVE those old Harleys!

I sold my '80 Superglide to pick up the bike of my dreams- a mostly original '81 Wide Glide. I put a foot clutch on it probably 10 years ago, otherwise pretty much stock.

I never had a Knuckle or Flatty but a couple of Pans and still have my 59 FLH numbers matching with all the original dents etc..The rest of my current bikes are 1990 FXR with a 95" TC engine. And 2000 RK 110" and 2002 Heritage 103". I do/did cylinder head and engine work professionally. Had my own line of custom cams as well. The bikes are pretty fast.

Had a buddy that had a green 67 Fairlane GT, it was a 390 4bbl car. the one wheel wonder it'd bake that right rear tire to the rim!!! Was a beautiful car!!

We call that a "One wheel Peel"

I'm not picky, I like them all, except for Cadillac and Lexus.
Most of my life I was told that good and successful people drive a Cadillac or Lexus, guaranteeing that I'll never buy either.
My company pickup is a 2022 Ford F150, long box, 4x4, 5.0 V8. Always easy to spot in a parking lot full of pickups, because most have 4 door cabs, mine has 2 doors. A ranch hand whom I work with owns a Highboy, and I love it. Occasionally he lets me drive it around some. Big rumbling V8, and manual transmission, the things dreams are made of. Only downside is getting into it, dang it's tall.

lol I hear ya, when rock crawling first began before all the rich people got into it, my favorite competition rig was a 79 CJ-7 that I had traded a raccoon for.
I stripped it down to the frame and started back up with it.
After doing that 3 times getting bigger and bigger it ended up running on 52" tires, everything on it was custom built by me or with help from my friends.
It's power was a injected 401 AMC, TF727 Trans, Dana 300 transfer with a custom doubler, a 14 bolt FF rear and a one off made custom 14 bolt front. Suspension was a Grader ball Y link in the rear and coil front.

I'm not very tall either so I would have to pretty much have to crawl up the front tire to get in.

You have funny taste in vehicles for a young lady. I have a 1974 Dodge Power Wagon. I stripped it to the frame and put it back together like I thought dodge should have built them. 360 Engine cammed up for low end torque, NV4500 five speed manual transmission, a new process 205 T-case, Dana 60 axles on both ends. Standard cab with a short box sitting on 35" tires. I painted it OD green in honor of the fleet that I had to work on in the Army many years ago. Fun off road rig.

I keep driving past this place in El Reno and the guy is getting more and more power wagons every time I come by

A really good friend of mine built a 32 coupe with a Dart 427 Sbc and 871 blower, that's a wicked scary machine and man it's beautiful

I'm still learning all the car lingo.

Do we need to put a pc of paper with our username and date for this is as well?

I remember having a long "car" talk with @joseph singleton a very very good brother with lots of knowledge. I learned a lot that day. I raced in my earlier life (I still have all my cars) but it took the back seat because my kids came first… now I just tear up the streets in my "turn key cars" late at night and blame the neighborhood kids at our quarterly community meetings I don't fix cars anymore just change the oil.
