Sandy Ganz's History
This is my short Vehicle History. Most of the cars or bikes that I have driven are ones that I would have again. Their are a few exceptions as noted by the 'POS' in the description (you can figure out what that means), but even those cars had something that I really liked about them, be it style or engineering. At the bottom of the page is a gallery of all the cars, some are NOT my cars, but just images I grabbed off of the web.
