The 17" Pontiac Rally II's I want are $$$. It will be a long time before they get swapped, they're low on my priority list. Quote:

My dad has a pic holding me on the fender when I was only a few months old. It was his red 68. By far the nicest one he ever had. He sold it around 1985 for a down payment for the house my parents still live in. Quote:

Re: I hate tailgaters!!!
I had a tailgater once!
He wasn’t on a trailer nor attached to my bumper! ‘‘Twas my younger brother drafting at speed. About a foot between us I suspect. Him driving a 67 GTX, me a 69 Charger. We switched places a few times. Awesome rush when you finally pull out to pass. Like floating on air! Done on a deserted stretch of highway with only a gopher or two as witnesses! Seems like yesterday but was 45 years ago! Drafting! You gotta do it once in your lifetime! LOL!! |

Geezer, that sounds awesome. The only time I've come close to that is trying to get someone going 55 in a 70 to move the hell out of the way

Re: I hate tailgaters!!!
Since Shawn likely isn't reading this I'll say it. For a short while I drafted a semi during that trip. It worked pretty good. Shawn didn't like it though. I'd never consider doing it again. And I kept about 20' behind

Re: I hate tailgaters!!!
Back when I was a lot younger I was riding with a bud one night in his big block shortbed GMC when his brother passed us in his big block Chevy truck. Well the race was on then. They both matted them and we were running flat out inches off the other truck's bumper for several miles. I couldn't see the Chevrolet on the tailgate. It was late at night so there wasn't any traffic and we were well out of town. Those trucks were dead even. I don't remember just how fast we were running. North of 100 for sure. There was some drafting I guess. It wasn't the most intelligent thing they ever did but hell, they were like that. Those boys, I tell you what. I like going fast and all but not in those circumstances. We lived.
