The car wasn't as special as that man's success as a father. Thanks

Good story.....but I think the side pipes are a little over the top for the old couple...

Seems his daughter has done well, thanks to some coaching. Kinda guy that deserves it. Beautiful car. 5 speed. Whats under the hood? Had a nice lope to it. Oh, and I agree that for some, sidepipes might be too much, but say you're really hard of hearing. That was a treat to watch.
