I see it this way. When I go to Armdrop drags just about every new vehicle there ,cars and trucks can probably get down the strip faster than me. Hell my daughters mini van is probably faster. My shop van is probably more comfortable,Radio,a/c,cupholders etc and probably safer,belts,air bags,crumple zones and stuff I don't even know about. But none of them can do what my 55 can. When I look out over those round fenders and hood thru that wraparound windshield and listen to the rumble of the motor nothing at that moment can whipe the smile off my face. Its a zone you get into weather you are racing or cruising that gets you away from the everyday and into another place and time. I suppose in reality newer cars are are better in so many ways but my old clunker is better in the only way that really counts, smiles per mile. Ed
Well put! ^^
