RW> I saw it for the first time in a Drive-in, c1977. It was like going back
RW> in time for me.
 
By then, those days were over for me.  I was already married to wife #2.
 
RW> I've been in a few like that.
 
I try not to think about it, but one of the main roads over here is like
the Indianapolis Speedway.  It's unbelieveable the way some people drive in
heavy traffic.
 
RW> And that is the message that everyone who saw the movie got.
 
I sure hope so.  On a humorous note, I had the receiver auto-tune to PBA
Bowling this morning at 11:00 CDT and found myself watching drag racing.
Sometimes, life isn't fair, but this time it was a wash.  (-:
 
RW> Today you can put power disc brakes on them and stop sooner. :o)
 
The gendarmes were effective with stopping me, but seriously, I wish power
disc brakes had been standard equipment on that car.  I recall learning how
to drive in a 1937 Hudson Terraplane that ny brother and BIL bought.  That
thing had mechanical brakes and was a bear to stop!
 
RW> If it was an SLP car, it had everything a high performance car would
RW> need.
 
I thought it might.
 
RW> That wasn't just a Firebird, it was a FireHawk...the counterpart to the
RW> SS Z28. Even my IROC has posi...can't get out of it's own way anymore,
RW> but it's still got posi.
 
I have to be careful driving the Lincoln.  My daughter has been using it to
go to work and I use her Suburban.  That thing is a tank with lots of
power, DRINKS gas, but has the suspension of a car, so it gives a smooth
ride.  If I go somewhere in the Loncoln, I need to be light-footed, else
that thing will throw me in the back seat, figuratively speaking.
 
 
Regards,
 
Roger
