Driving down memory lane.....

Josh and I may be very different politically, but as is often found, sometimes you have a common interest that transcends the political stuff.

That would be cars, yes....I was a motor head, and in some ways still am at heart. I started thinking about my favorite car of all time, the 1969 Roadrunner. Almost went thru the search to be able to find all the stuff to set up my scanner, but this picture is much better than ones I have from years ago.






Now, imagine her in white, with a black vinyl top and wide black racing stripes on the hood.....yes, almost all my cars have been "hers" and yes....I talk to my cars, usually very nicely. They like that....

Ebay is a great place to find stuff, but also a way to make you go OMG I sold that car for 200.00 bucks....what an idiot I was....

This one will either make you cry or say as I did hmmmmm imagine the possibilities....

Just another reason to love cars, they bring people together :-)

Now if we could just get Frist and Reid to go for a cruise in a 69 Stingray....

The shot of the Roadrunner is beautiful. I myself would like to find and pimp a Ford Maverick just like my step-dad did. Dual stand alone chrome tailpipes, (4) chromed rims with the honeycomb effect and of course your standard drag racing slicks that are ridiculously illegal on city streets. You can't get much ghetto then that. ;)

One of my high school buddies (dyed in the wool GOPer, that one) had this absolutely beautiful black '69 Mustang - batman dashboard, screaming loud 8 and all.

I loved that car - even if the carbon moonoxide from the leaking exaust did cost me a few SAT points.

Now, I just want something I can park in the city - and those Mini's look better all the time.

I suppose that Roadrunner would do if you just absolutely couldn't find a '67 Pontiac GTO, and I wouldn't be picky about what color it was because cosmetics issues are easily changed. (Women are experts on such things!) As long as it had big-block under the hood and a Muncie 4-speed it would be acceptable. And it might just eat that Roadrunner for breakfast.

I used to eat goats for breakfast back in those days....racing down the Anthony Wayne Trail where McCauley High School used to be...

The GTO and Superbee crowd that thought my car couldn't take them...but she did

memories....:-)
