What was your fantasy car ?
I was out in the shop today and came across some old car posters I had collected in the eighties and it got me wondering - what was your fantasy car growing up? For an all out (money is no issue) it was the Lamborghini Countach - I had the Apline stereo poster. As a real world car (one I could maybe afford) I always wanted an AAR Cuda - just a bad ass 340-6 barrel with a 4 speed.

I had several over the years but probably dreamt about a 57 Chevy longer than any other when I was growing up. Then around 1965, it was the tri-power GTO. Then my fantasy became a 67 Hemi Coronet R/T. My first car was a new 69 383 4 speed RoadRunner when I was 20 but I did then and still dream today about owning and racing a real 68 or 69 Hemi super stocker. There were also many dreams about an L-88 or a LT-1 Corvette here and there but never swayed from Mopars since 1969. LOL:rolleyes:

Sleeping with your sister in the back seat. Where do these questions come from,, the VA? My cat is looking at me of,, why did you answer that question?? Bob, Cali, home in on this. The patch maker you are have to have a patch with an answer? The Indians come up with em?? You have 1 tied up in garage. I know. Nancy told me. So said Rico. Getting cranky at 1 am cause my car is not finished. They got all the body work done and painted this week end. Finish the engine work next 2 days. Told em they were going to get sewered, like Alaska, by the insurance company and finance company if not dun by the end of the month.

Growing up in London in the 60’s driving a 39hp Ford Anglia I could walk to the track at Crystal Palace. And then the Ford Galaxies showed up😱👍😱.

39hp to 797hp - what a ride!!

Another one that was on my list was anything with a Hemi... I'll be honest, one of the reasons I got my Hellcat was because a Hemicar (any old school hemi powered musclecar) was something I was never able to own - too young for the first time thru and too expensive / scarce later on by the time I was ready / able to own one.
My Challenger Hellcat fills that itch - more power than I really need ( is there every enough?), it's "new" (3200 miles and in perfect shape) and the icing on the cake is a manual trans !!! I love rowing the gears - what a rush when the accelerator goes down!

I Love my old school muscle - they are different animals when you compare to what is offered today. Are they better today?
Yes and No - depends on your point of view. Both are a lot of fun... Good time to be alive - I get to enjoy both!!!

Years ago my fantasy car was a Lamborghini Countach. I can afford to buy one now and have no interest. Amazing how things change when you get older.
