Interesting quote. When I was in highschool, I read about high compression big blocks making crazy numbers and thought I was born in the wrong decade. But even those cars were not making 700 and 800 horse power...

P.S. I am 30

When I was in school we practiced nuke bomb drills. Get under your desk put your head between your legs and kiss your *** good bye. Watched Cuban missile crisis unfold. Blacks marching over Selma bridge. LA riots. Don Garletts hitting 200 mph was a big thing.

At 65 I never dreamed we would allow the US to get to the state we are in.

That bothers and scares me a lot. Many Teen ages, even those on college campuses, have no clue about any of the wars, conflicts, presidents or American History in general. Pretty sad.
