Bravo! Definitely driving to the beat of a different drummer. Bet you
take a lot of kidding - I always have myself - some people just don't get
it. I never did like driving popular cars - my philosophy:
A lot of cars are just like a**-h***s, everybody's got one and they're no
fun.
As a teenager, at one time my transportation was a pair of '50 Buicks (one
red, one green), later replaced by a '63 Ford Falcon V-8 Convertible, a '68
El-Camino, and a '67 Galaxie built to the gills. Later noteworthy vehicles
included a '49 Ford pickup, Bub (Big Ugly Buick) the 71 Buick Centurion
with 455/cam/Holley, '80 Chevy Monza with 350 V-8 (Bub's engine was
originally intended for the Monza but I chickened out on the swap), and of
course Puddles the '67 Sprite.
The Sprite has been the most fun of all.
Never conform to the norm!
