Well, I've been so busy studying for my Learner's Permit, I completely forgot to do this. We'll have two today, I suppose.
9/25/14: @Slash's personal 1985 F250, nominated by @Slash (of course).
Come on over here and tell us about it, @Slash!
9/26/14: 1985 Corvette, nominated by @Celicaas (Originally chose another one of mine, but I'm going to start allowing me to be picked again tomorrow).
Here are a lot of facts, as well as statistics about this car.
The F250 is eligible to be a reserve on 10/25/14, the Vette as well, only on 10/26/14.

I love this car, I have a soft spot for older AMGs, they're newer cars are awesome but the '80s to the early '00s was the best time period for AMGs in my opinion.
