the year was 1993 i was a wee lad of 10 i believe (could have been younger but i dont want to take the time to count back) and i just finished building my first model car, a 1957 chebby. my dad who had been a pontiac man mostly but owned some mopars along the way, i think was trying to sway me into being a chevy man. i on the other hand had a thing for big rigs up until this point and didnt really care for cars at all wanted a ford duallie pickup. well with my not so successful atempt a model building i set out for a new project. my father and i found ourselves at happy harrys/ walgreens to all you non delawarians, a drugstore to everyone else. they had a limited selection of models a camaro, some helicopters, a ship, and then there it was a 1973 or 72 i cant remember pro street challenger with a hemi, dad whats a hemi "oh a hemi is something i could never beat in my gto's he said." AND THAT WAS THE EXACT SECOND IT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
