Well I hope this isn't too superficial, but I am having a blast driving this car..so I thought I would post it.
I've had it about 3 months and for some reason seem to like it more the more I drive it.
Cars always seem to be good goals for people, benchmarks for success I guess....which in all honesty is good, as long as it doesn't lead to superficial-ality.
For me I think there is a wee bit of redneck in me that might shine through with my attraction to the shiny cars..the hotrods if you will. My Grandmothers brothers son is legendary drag racer Ronnie Sox, who won five National Hot Rod Association championships. He resently died of cancer....he was a great guy!!
Here he is tearing up the track in the glory days....and I remember seeing this car when I was a little kid.
.....so alittle family history to justify my indulgence.....thus it's not superficial.......must be somewhere embedded in the genes........oh yeah!!!!
Footnote from my Dad about this one
"In 1972 in his '72 Hemi Cuda he won all but one of the national events that year. I think there were about 12.
The one he lost he missed a shift for the ONLY time in his entire career. He also had many "0-0-0" reaction times on the lights at the start...unheard of even today...today, the comparable
class to what Ronnie was in back in the day don't have four speeds but rather have push button shifts...Ronnie told me just before he died that the driver had been taken out of the race
due to this."
