It was pretty low..had to idle/crawl over a speed bump, & the headers would usually scrape, anyway.
Finally got my dream car! What’s yours?

I've only owned 1 car I really liked, back in my So. Calif. days.. a '72 (?) Camaro, bought from a friend , & built by his neighbor..set up for slalom racing.
Built 302 w/ 4 speed, lowered w/ fat BFG T/A radials on Center line rims, made with the wheels offset to the outside,( to keep the tires under the fenders)
drove like a fast go cart..

Calling them Muscle Cars is an insult to Muscle Cars. Those are leg shaving, spandex wearing, sprinter cars... Just saying... Should probably change the advertising to attract the appropriate crowd.

Hey Babbo:
Lets have an update on that great muscle car. How's it doing? Have you gotten a ticket let, "I couldn't help it"
You have been pretty quiet lately. Maybe you have gotten two or three tickets.
I know I would have.

I kept my 1st brand new car (purchased by me ) for 17 yrs.. a '71 Plymouth Duster. Went home to bring the cash I'd saved to buy a new
Vega GT ( remember those ? ) a salesman sold the white GT to someone else..guess he didn't believe me, when I said I was going home to get my $$$ and pay cash for it. Went down the street to a Plymouth dealer & bought my Duster , "Curious Yellow" with black stripes, had the 225 cu in 6 & 3 speed on the floor. I wanted a 340 , but I couldn't afford the iinsurance .at 18 y/o, with a driving record of getting 3 tickets before I got my driver's license..

Yes, I remember those days well. Back in 1968 Bought a new Mercury Cyclone Gt with a 428 CJ, 4 spd. off the showroom floor $3670.00. Only option it had was Power Brakes. Paid it off in three years despite the speeding tickets. Those were the days.I kept my 1st brand new car (purchased by me ) for 17 yrs.. a '71 Plymouth Duster.
