We threw around terms we didn't even know what they meant, we just knew'em from Beachboys songs.<br /><br />Kid across the street from me, got his first real job, doing freeway construction in '69. He gave thousands to a custom racing shop for a Plymouth 'Cuda with all the bells and whistles he had heard about from his older brother's friends, all his life. He never told the shop it wasn't just for the quarter mile but a daily driver. He had about an eighty mile commute, one way, to the job site. No biggy, the freeways were clear and gas was 23 cents a gallon for premium. He cracked the block the first day, after cruising along about a half hour at 85. He had a four speed but none had very long legs, I guess.reddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823251385710299262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33134810.post-10533691871060513142009-04-30T06:54:00.000-07:002009-04-30T06:54:00.000-07:00One of our own posted a similar tribute the Pontia...One of our own posted a similar tribute the Pontiac at our place.
