Would not be opposed to seeing some of the vintage cars. The important question with Star Trek is who is your favorite captain?
I wish I could say I had a lot of photos of the vintage cars, but I had a major shop fire in '96 (arson - long story) and lost nearly all my photos of my early and awesome build from when I had my shop. Plus I lost a ton of cars. But I do have a photo or two I might be able to grab real quick that managed to survive.
I did this 60 VW Bug in my early teens. Wasn't even finished in the photos. Got the car in SE Iowa and hauled it to NE TX. Replaced nearly every panel on it. Numbers matching car with original 36HP engine. Started a VW obsession and wound up owning a handful of other VWs and a warehouse full of parts before I sold them all to a collector around 1993.
Weird project I tackled a few years ago that I got in Michigan. 84 Dodge Rampage combined with an Shelby Charger to make a Shelby-ized 2.2 turbocharged Rampage.
And I still own my car from high school. 28 years now.
As for other cars I did I was mainly into Ford stuff - 49 - 51 Fords, 63 - 64 Galaxies, 60s Lincolns, etc. Also had a 1917 T-Bucket hot rod, 36 Ford, Dodge Duster, Ford Torino GTs, Ford Rancheros, old Ford Trucks, and some oddball things like a Jaguar XJS with a 350/350 Chevy V8 swap. I used to buy/sell/swap cars constantly and at any time I probably had anywhere from 15 - 25 cars on hand before I sold nearly everything off in 2005 - 2006. Even if I tried to compile a list I'm sure I'd forgot a bunch of cars.
As for Trek captains that's a tough one. Every time I rewatch there's things I like and dislike about every one and it's hard to pick just one. But if I had to pick a least favorite overall I'd have to say Janeway and Voyager even though I still appreciate the series overall. Sorry Voyager fans!

Haha. No worries. I like to think I have the time and money for all of these games, so it's probably for the better no one has responded with game ideas.
Hahaha, time better spent doing other things I suppose. I'm seriously like the best gal to have around, I seriously love watching folks play...I'm weird. But also easily entertained?? Haha cheap date i guess.0 -

Nothin' weird about that, at all, in my book! I enjoy watching folks, play, as well. Just haven't met enough people that like to game so I can kick back and relax and watch. I am also way too easily entertained.1 -

That's awesome!! Let me just say that watching me game would be more of a repetitive comedy show than progressive...bahaha. worst hand eye coordination. Ever.0 -

Haha. Now that sounds like a good time. Just need to make it a fun button masher like Super Smash Melee or something fun like that.0 -

Yessssss. Then a hand massage afterwards. I'm always pressing those damn buttons too hard because apparently it helps...bahaha.0 -

Video Games and hand massages? Now that sounds like a perfect evening. If we're going for comedy night, me playing Rock Band will achieve it. It's not pretty.0 -

The jerks I played with always chose the fastest song when it was my turn so midway through the song, the drinking game was about the only game I was playing. And throwing crap at my friends.0 -

Totally agree! My husband gets so irritated that she can't delegate. Like *kitten* will be going down and she'll say, "Chacotay, I'm headed down to engineering to do someone else's job. You've got the bridge."0 -

Star Trek lover including Enterprise and Discovery. Also loved Fringe and House MD and could literally watch reruns every single day. Really enjoyed the new Lost in Space on Netflix, too.
Linux user, current desktop flavor is Ubuntu MATE. Used to be an IT guy in the 90s and early 2000s but got sidelined by chronic illness. Also was heavy into mobile audio/video and home theater at one time.

That really stinks about the photos and such. Sorry to hear about that. My dream, if it ever happens, is a '67 GTO. I didn't mind Janeway, all that much, but I grew up on TNG, so it'll always be Picard, for me.0 -
