Something triggered a memory and I just have to share it. Back in the muscle car days, the interstate system was just being opened up and connected (I remember interstate 30 between Little Rock and Dallas was underconstruction in 1970). Anyway, if your car wouldn't burn rubber from both rear tires just by punching the gas at 75 mph (we called it jumping) you car wasn't SH*#.
The cars we disliked were the muscle car wannabes - like the 383 Road Runners as they couldn't walk the talk.
Anytime we saw a wannabe on the expressway, we would jump him and then basically dare him to try to pass and let him eat tire smoke each time he tried. That was another reason I never got more than 8,000 miles out of 40,000 mile tires.
