I agree, finally someone willing to tell it like it is, I am not a real fan
of muscle cars but certainly do respect them. I seem to have an understanding

I sure do enjoy hearing these  stories rather than how a new weenie-mobile
blaaaaaaasts past a couple of kids.

I can understand why they would, how many econo-boxes go over 100mph?
