I had a 78 silver anniversary POS. And they were slow pretty doggy.
About the only thing it was good for was compliments and probably would
have made a good tomato plant starting greenhouse with that stupid big
back window that did not open. The kids called it the Batmobile.
I had a 61 Vett Borg Warner T-10 4 speed/327 when I was in college,
that thing was pretty fast but a 4 door Plymouth with a Torqueflight
(sp?) beat me off the line every time and I could not catch him in the
quarter, and a 340 Dodge something did the same. The front suspension
on those C-1 vetts had kingpins! and were basically a 53 chev front end
suspension. The good old days.

I'm not a car show type of person, but I would consider it rude to sit on someone's show car, or any
car of anyone else's that I didn't know and not knowing if that person would get upset about it.

I grew up farming and wish I could be doing it right now...

No, but those of you who think you own the road really annoy those of us
that do.

Rt 10/101

I will admit, people in Keene know how to use them better than people in
Mass. I was trying to *behave* rather than act like a Masshole!

I'm from Greenfield.


Dumbest thing I ever saw at a roundabout: in Greenfield, Rts 91/2, woman
goes 3/4 of the way around, realizes she missed the ramp she wanted to
take, and *BACKS UP*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at a vintage car show about 27 years ago, and there was a '63 GTO
conv, BEAUTIFUL!! Guy was leaning up against it with Levi 501s (you know.
*rivets*!) and I wanted to get a shot at the Six Pack under the hood, so I
went up and said, "Is this yours?"

After the answer was, "No." my next comment was, "THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE
YOU DOING LEANING UP AGAINST IT WITH RIVETED BLUE JEANS?!?!?!?!"

Nah. They actually care about things. You could tell this guy didn't give
a Rat's Ass about much of anything.

Yup!

I was expecting a lot of flames when I posted this across groups. I'm glad
to see there are a lot of people that actually know how to drive and offer
some modicum of courtesy!

Thanks for the restoration of faith!
