"Looks" stories

[QUOTE=Texasbigblock;2826281]yea, it sure is funny how everyone thinks they own a race car when you have a nice old truck....QUOTE]

I have had a few young guys become impressed when the old man stood on it, but your statement reminded me of the time when I was that young guy. I had a new VW Super Beetle that I had installed an EMPI Extractor on, with the EMPI 8-spoke wheels. Pinto's were new and I was on a rural highway, when the Pinto passed me. I couldn't have that, so I passed them. They passed me, again. When I went around them the second time, my speedometer needle was pegged by the oil light. A few days later, one of the guys I worked with, who drove a Caddy, said "It doesn't matter what you drive, some guy in VW is going to try and race you".

Nowadays, it ain't the VW's that try to race...it's the ricers and the kids in their trucks that they think just as much of as we do of ours.
