What Cool Things Will You Never Do with Your Vehicle?
Perhaps you’ve already seen the upside down Camaro on a race track before, as this car was no stranger to going viral on the Internet. While it used to be a Camaro convertible, now it’s a tube frame race car with the guts of a Ford Festiva. I am sure that combination never came up on any Camaro’s bingo card, but it’s certainly a cool thing to do with a discarded pair of vehicles.
While things on the Internet may seem to randomly appear from thin air, there’s always a backstory as to why and how they happen. In this case, a gentleman who goes by the name of Speedycop is the prime mover in its creation. His delightful misadventures with automobiles are not for the faint of heart, and that leads me to the question posed to the Hagerty Community:
What Cool Things Will You Never Do With Your Vehicle?
Upside down race car has already been taken, so we want to know what else you’ve considered, but will never do! Here is my submission:
As much as I love my Ford products from the 1970s-90s, and even considering how much time and money I throw at them, I am quite confident I’ll never get that ticker tape parade at Pebble Beach. Oh well!
My moto is never rule anything out. I have done things with my car I never ever expected to do. I have been invited to places done things and met people I never though I would.
I have had more valuable, more powerful and popular cars but my Little Fiero opened many doors.
Take top five at the biggest Pontiac show in the world twice. Run at Indy over 100 MPH, Same Mid Ohio. Loaned the car to GM for a large display of their heritage cars, been on the turn table in the Summit Racing Retail store at their head quarters. Driven down a carpeted hallway of an office building, Met Don Garlits and NBA player Larry Nance via the car. Best of show and over 100 plus awards at mostly national meets. Beat a Lamborghini at a concourse show. Had three magazine article’s on the car including one out now.
Best of all met some of my best friends with the car that I would never have known.
The door is open and I am just looking for the next opportunity and adventure that may come from this car.
I like my Corvette too but if I take it out it is just another Corvette.
Sajeev it is not just the car but what you make of it. if I can do that with a car that I have less in than many pay for their paint jobs. You may yet get that confetti celebration yet. Just look for the opportunities.
None of this is bragging. This is just showing you anything can happen and you don’t always need a Duesenberg or a Bugatti.
It is not just the car but the story and the journey. We are all able of great fun you just need to look for it.
It’s ” motto”.
Uphill battle proofing hyperv6.
Many have tried – all have failed.
Considering the current usages of “moto,” it’s a darned interesting substitution!
I’ll never jump a canyon ala Thelma & Louise or Evel Knievel – but if I did, it’d make a cool YouTube video. Probably go viral and make the 9:00 news shows (not that I’d know).
Nah really, I’ll never drive Route 66 in my ’66 car when I’m 66 years old, but at one time (when I was 65) it seemed like a very cool idea. Even had a high school buddy who also has a ’66 who was going to go along. But life has it’s surprises and it didn’t work out. Now I’m even wondering if I’ll ever drive the Mother Road at ANY age!
Carolina squat
Buy a high horsepower vehicle just to do burnouts
Carolina squat? The question was about cool things you’d never do, TG – you consider that a cool thing? But at least I’m happy you’d never do it! 😉
👍
I was operating under the premise that someone thinks it’s cool… not necessarily me
Makes some sense. Not much, but some… 😜
Wash them.
That’s funny right there, I tell you what! 🙂
When I was young and crazier than now, I dreamed of turning an early ’60s Econoline van into a half-track.
You were not only crazier than now, you were darned near crazier that anyone, ever! 😁
Drive the backroads of America, coast to coast in my Honda Kei car.
talk about unsprung weight…
What I won’t do on my car I might do on someone else’s car. :^)
in my GT40, do the Mass Pike, @ 225 mph, just once.
probly was just due to old weak rear springs, but my well-used 67 GT500 definitely did have a little Carolina squat down in back – sold it 50y ago, so definitely won’t be doing that again any time soon either.
^ ^ debateably cool, + never gonna happen – that’s the topic.
( ps – got no GT40 + moved otta state )
Guess they will stay in the garage for another year-no time for fun and I’m supposed to be retired!!
I’ll never replace the wrecked engine of my family’s first car, a 1948 Chev, with a steam engine, even though my pal Johnny and I schemed and drew and speculated about it all through Grade 4…
I will never make a targa roof and install a roll bar for my 66 El Camino, even though the cavity below the cover in the front part of the bed could be modified to hold the roof when taken off. Just a fun idea.
hmmm…how ’bout a really cool thing that’ll never happen with ALL of my vehicles??? that’s easy: getting all of them running, registered, and insured. red skelton, comedian of an era long past, had seven limo’s – a different one for each day of the week. i could have one each day of the month and still have a few left over (like having a second string backfield). yup, it’ll never happen…but cool to dream about!
