Man, you gotta love old car guys...

Yeah. They're so much fun. I know this guy in the car club, his name's Ron. He drives a '63 Plymouth Sport Fury. It's white. It doesn't look fast in the least. It's got a 472ci Hemi in it. Puts about 575hp to the rear wheels. In a car that looks like a grandpa should be driving it. Plus, Ron's got long white hair. He's cool. While his car was warming up after the Downers Mopar night last friday, I asked him if he's ever taken that car to the track. He replied "No, that's bad for it. The street's much better." Gotta love the guy. Not only that, but right after talking to him, he did a half-block long burnout in downtown Downers Grove. It was sweet. The first time I met the guy, he asked me if I had my license. When I said yes, he immedeately replied "Oh, we gotta get you behind the wheel of my HemiCuda then." Plus, everytime I see him, he throws me free crap. He's a cool guy. Then there's Don, who's also got a HemiCuda, but this one came from the factory that way [Ron's has an aftermarket Hemi crate motor in it, 472ci, just like his Sport Fury] so it's a lot more valuable. He's always like "Oh, it's not that special, it's an automatic car." and everyone's like "Don! It's a Plum Crazy Purple '70 HemiCuda with a warranty replacement block!" This is a reallyfreakinsweet car. I'll find my pictures of it and post them.

For allay'all who don't care about cars, I apologize for the preceding run-on paragraph. These days, all I know is cars. I don't have anything that you guys'd like to read. It'd be boring, meaningless and short.
