3. Good old American muscle.

The American muscle car era coincided with my late teens and early twenties. I was a Mopar man, but had several friends who were Ford enthusiasts. There were more Chevy fans around than anyone else, but my 1970 340 Duster would generally cross the finish line first against most of them. Thinking about those times really makes me realize what a long, strange trip it's been, and it's not over yet. The things I thought were so important at the time were just a passing fancy really. Some people, like this guy, made it a life's obsession.

Thanks for posting this, Rhiannon. Great memories.
