Unless you are doing something like Dave is doing cars aren’t fun anymore. Remember when you washed and waxed your car Sunday afternoon. Points and plugs had to be changed about every 10,000 miles, brakes had to be changed then there was generators and starters and oil to be changed every 2 or 3 thousand miles. All of this repair kept everyone interested in care.
When you pulled up beside a 57 Chevy did it have a 283 or a 350 and did it have 2, 4s or a 396, 360 horse or a 427 with 425 HP. Or could it be like my brothers with a built 427 with who knows how much power.
All these new cars are the same. Try putting a 427 on a new Chevy. New cars last forever. You change the oil every 10,000 miles and never need to check it. They almost never break and when they do you don’t even know where to start to fix them. They aren’t any fun anymore!
