Changing automotive times and fading Glory.
This is the 70 Dart that I built in the early 2000s. It has had some changes since I sold it, including a new 408 stroker, but the appearance is not much different.
I had no shortage of idiots wanting to take a run against me, it wasn't crazy fast, but it was respectable, I would take up the challenge sometimes. One of the most memorable times was a Saturday evening, I had just installed the 3 inch TTi exhaust system that afternoon and had my wife and a friend and his wife in the car, just going for an ice cream cruise.
Sitting at a red light when a Honda pulls up beside and starts revving up the fart pipe. I didn't look at him, just quietly slipped the shifter into 1st gear, then hammered it on green. He wasn't even close when I backed off on the 1-2 shift, then he turned off at the next intersection. That just felt great!
