~stepping up on my sop box~
Hmmmm... what on earth would anyone want a "Street Racer" for. I may be a
bit out of touch (old?) but aren't there some laws which govern the speed
limits on our highways and byways? Personally, due to the carnage that this
type of behavior causes, I wish they would pass a few laws which when caught
racing on the street, your car would be immediately sent to a crusher. And
of course you license should also be revoked for a good 5 years or so
(providing you are not in a body bag) No appeals allowed, No reduced time
for good behavior. Harsh? Yeah it is. Ever had a relative or know someone
who has been killed or injured by people driving through a neighborhood like
they are in Nascar or F1? I have no sympathy for the idiots that kill
themselves while doing this but it's the innocent victims that suffer the
most. If you want to kill yourself, do it somewhere else besides the road
where your actions might harm others. I have nothing against racing but it
belongs on the track and not on the street.
~stepping off my box~
On a lighter note.... what is it with these full size pickup trucks with
rear and front spoilers, extended wheel wells, low ground hugging effects,
etc.. If you want a truck buy a truck. If you want a sports car, buy a
sports car. They are not interchangeable IMHO. ~already ducking and weaving
the flames and arrows I know are coming my way on this one :-)
BTW, I have decided to rebuild (or should I say ATTEMPT to rebuild) my 78
B's engine myself. Did I just hear a giggle out there? And should I fail to
properly use my mechanical aptitude to bring life back into the beast, at
the very least I will have the scarred knuckles to show I tried and a hoarse
voice from all the cussing as I berate the thing back into submission!!
