How did you get hooked on A-bodies?

I guess my addiction came from my Mom's ride in the late 70's and early 80's. She drove a 72 340 3 speed stick on the floor Demon her and my dad traded for. (traded $800.00 plus a 66' big block 2 door Malibu to a sailer for his Demon ) Any who, That Gold metallic Demon with the stripes really was not cool till I saw her win a street race with it while I was in the car. She thought the guy had road rage and was driving for her life, he just wanted to race. She blew his Duster into the ground and he still talks about it till this day I met up with him years later. Then getting the car as my highschool driver and realizing the chicks I could get with it cemented the Demon / Abody in my head. Nothing impresses an 80's chick like burning a set of tires off in front of Dairy Queen. Well the low ceiling and 80's hair did not fit well, but that's another story. Joe
