the unbridled HP race began and enjoyed it immensely until the low compression unleaded era began. Those "kids" that are 10 years or more younger, missed that whole experience that won't be repeated.
But the ones 10 years younger than that are living through another horse power war.
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...
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.
Well, we had a "lets see all your cars" thread, so now we know there are some old men here, and some young ones. We havent had an age thread in a while so here's one now. Be honest. How old are you?
I'm currently 62, 63 in January.
I am a 70 year old Veteran, married 50 plus years, with Grandkids and a 09 fast blue Corvette. Life is good
Born 6 months after Pearl Harbor! I always tell younger people that and some don't have a clue when that was!!
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.
