SoCal Car ****

Its funny, when I was in like 4th or 5th grade I though i lived in the most boring retirement town with only stupid hondas with straight pipe exhausts; that was all i saw when going to school. But, in the last two years, I made friends with one guy because on the way home form school, I saw the 440 powered austin in his garage. (that garage pic w/ the ALF on the supercharger) Then, he introduced me to his friends, and his friends to their friends, etc. Now I know that i live in a sleepy retirement town with a bunch of badass old guys who finally have the time to build the cars they always wanted. (and it just so happens most of them are mopars.)

That reminds me of another guy.
I met this guy two weeks ago when my parents saw his car on their evening walk.
This guy hat lives up the street from me is a retired cop from LA. In the mid 80's, he had(s) a 1971 duster 340 H code car. And his wife had a 383 4 speed roadrunner. He told me that every day after work, (when he was driving his duster home) he used to race all of the kids he usually pulled over stoplight to stoplight. He told me that he and his commander (or whatever it is in a police force) had bets on who would win that night racing. And no matter the car, or condition, he would "whoop their ***". well now the car is sitting SIDEWAYS in his garage waiting on a 360 to be built and eventual restoration.
