Or a leather jacket? :) 8 miles to the gallon....oh my! I remember "scooping the loop" in high school with my boyfriend in his old Chevy -- just riding around and around about a 4 block area....slowly enough to wave and be seen :) Those were the days!

My first muscule car was a 1966 Mustang. this puts me in mind of a song by Chris Kane:I taught you lessons about freedom<br />Strapped to the bucket of a 455.<br />I lit your hair on fire<br />Racing ten mile flats<br />Where American heavy metal thrives...<br /><br />Mine was a 4 speed and I jammed it, seriously. Loved that car until I drove it under a semi while being severely snockered. tonispencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200564195675794747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-35341481144643023122017-11-09T12:18:33.412-08:002017-11-09T12:18:33.412-08:00I have never thought that buying a car is a ration...I have never thought that buying a car is a rational decision... ha... and my car has 200 Horse Powers from 1.6 liter... and collision radar.
