Default I guess I'm getting old.

I will be taking my 77 to the exhaust shop next Friday to adapt my pipes to my new headers. I delivered the pipes to the shop with my truck. Meanwhile I installed a pair of cheap header mufflers. I started the engine today and took the car for a ride, first since early December. I can't believe I used to drive cars like this all the time, 25 years ago. Way too loud for my taste now.

I drove my car 25 miles to the exhaust shop with shorty headers when I had my exhaust welded up. Talk about turning heads. My vette really got some looks.

I prefer to think of it as wisdom instead of age.

I like them loud ever so often. Normally though, I like relative quiet and cruising along. I've considered cutouts for the loud times.
