This Month's Tip

"Classic muscle cars" generally means two-door American cars, built in the decade beginning in 1964, with back seats and beefy engines. The Pontiac LeMans Tempest with the GTO high-performance option package is widely considered the first true muscle car.

Hello, I'm sure that you've figured out who this is, yes that's right, it's your favorite American classic car nut, I love them all, as long as they say "Made In The USA" some where on them, I don't care if it was built by GM, Ford, Mopar, or AMC, it doesn't matter to me, all that matters to me is that it an American muscle car, and it was built in the 1960's, or 70's, that kind of leaves it wide open, but does leave one thing out for sure, and that is imports.

I like the big Heavy Chevy's, Massive Mopar's, and Fabulous Fords, all the street burning, road ripping, pavement pounding good old American muscle, nothing has quite the felling of a muscle car from behind the wheel, I remember way back in the day when all my friends and I would gather along the boulevard in the small town where I grew up, we'd park all of our cars right next to each other, and it was just like a car show.

All of us would gather around and tell stories about our big bad muscle cars, we'd talk about who we'd raced, and if we won or lost, and how we could win next time, we'd compare paint, engines, suspension, well you get the idea, we were all learning from each other, the what to do's and what not to do's, and without question somebody would always have a new modification to show off, some to make thew car look better, some to make more power, and some to make it handle better.

Some how all the mods ended up on most of our cars, and it was just part of the game, the idea wasn't always to get power out of the car, but to make things more even, to test our driving skills, and that it did, we tried to keep things as close as possible, it made the racing more interesting, and much more fun, today it not done the same way, it would seen that it's all about out doing the guy next to you, and none of the kids are true friends.
