MOTIVATION .. Old School . Non Boomers, Need NOT Read, and a 6-Pack is not your Abs or fucking Beer .

When Detroit was King, before before Federal bailout's-$$$, before the fucking Federal Government was crawling up your Ass with Fed. mandated fuel efficiency, safety, emission requirements, and before you were forced to drive around a mandated 4 wheeled Wi-Fi, GPS and computers. When EV's was SciFi, Gas was less than .40 cent a gallon, and Diesel was less than Two Bits a Gal.
..." We know, what the American male wants to drive. If we build it, they will buy and drive it ." said Dodge .

My brother sent me a Pic, 2 days ago that brought a small tear to my eye . A just finished, giving a piece of 50+ year old Detroit history, legend, and gas guzzling 7+ Litters BigBlock of Rage, a new breath of life.

I guess a full moon made them stupid. Monday morning from the shop. 150 yards.

Tuesday morning from the house. Notice the right window on the house is open. 200 yards.

20 minutes later this one strolled through. 301 yards from the house. All young ones. The older ones got the memo long ago to stay off my lawn. The rifle that goes with me everywhere is a 17" 7mm-08 A.I. shooting 162 ELD-X suppressed.

funny part is about 20-30 years ago a aero dynamics team who was into muscle cars put several of their cars in a tunnel, 66 gto, shaker hoods etc

they had instrumented cars and were noticing irregular graphs at different speeds

apparently above 70 mph or so most of the old school "ram air" vents in the hoods were actually creating low pressure areas starving the engine of air

was a really good article
was ina science magazine not a car magazine back then
