Mmmmmmmmm, I have wood. My old Yellow '64 Falcon sedan was probably there somewhere. These were cars that had actual personality and hearts. I really don't care for today's plastic POS cars. Yeah, they make more power, get better mileage and are much more comfortable and easy to drive...but they lack a whole lot of life.

My wife and I came out of Sams club the other day. There were 3 brand new cars in a row. A Buick, a Honda and a Jaguar. These 3 cars were styled so similar,.. I could hardly tell the difference.

Back in the day, even though a 66 Chevelle, GTO, Wild Cat, and 442 were on the same basic body. There was enough style that you could never mistake one car for the other. You'd never confuse a 69 Trans Am for a 69 Camaro. I miss those days.

You got it, Hurst.

That's one thing that Mustangs have going for them. They never look like the rest of the crowd.

Did you catch the price on the barstool racer, Jim?

I was tempted to ask if he took Visa

Its in the picture. If you zoom in it should be clear enough to read it. I have the larger 1920x1080 res images here on my computer. Says cart and trailer, disc brakes, $550 - No test pilots. LOL
