Fast Cars

At a time when I was a teen and interested in boys, clothes, music and cheering I was also oblivious to cars and all things that go fast!

What an opposite world from that of the drag strip and race tracks.  I had no clue they existed.

Yet, any guy worth his weight during the muscle car era could recite all the 

bells and whistles on the 

newest models coming out of Detroit.

I remember seeing a Corvette for the first time and being wonder struck by it's sleek beauty.  It was 1964.  Since then, I doubt any other car has matched my idea of the perfect car.

Looking at the car lots of today and the variety of wheels available, I am kind of sad by it all.  They just don't seem to hold the memories of the cars of years past.

They cost too much and the gas will bleed you dry of funds.

The thought of a long road trip almost nauseates and 

couldn't possibly be as fun as in the old days.

Maybe I'll just stay home or

take a ride down memory lane and remember when

we had the best bad ass cars in the world and the 

cutest guys behind the wheel!
