Default I drive an Iron Deer.

Hey, my name is Max, and I have now been a Chevy guy for exactly one year. What vehicle is this, you might ask?

Why, it's my 1963 Impala! It's a 4 door, very basic model. It's got the original 283 small block coupled with an aluminum powerglide, no options other than seatbelts and an AM radio. It DOES have power assist, but that's about as advanced as it gets. And while the Florida heat does make me wish for AC some days, all in all it's a smooth ride. Why is that you ask? Because although it's got the usual problems you'd associate with an aged sedan, the engine has only 44,500 miles on it, and I am the third owner of the car. It's also my first and currently only car, though I have had for short periods of time a 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis (which my brother managed to total at the beginning of this month) and a 1986 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegeance. Believe it or not, I use this car as a daily driver. It needs some work, to be sure, but the drivetrain is working well.

And the other offender, my old Cadillac. What can I say? I love big V8 Sedans.
