I bet that car wasnt built to be driven with an "egg under foot" lol.

I'm sure some of my older rides at the time could have been reasonable for mileage, except for the fact that i was young, loved the sound of secondaries opening up, and good exhaust flowing under WOT

Gas was under a buck a gal

That woush when the 2ndareys make just before the rpms come up is music.
