You guys are lucky to have been around to see all of that, my school has no exciting cars. My dad's first car was a red 1973 mach 1' all his friends had pintos, chevettes, his one friend even had a huge buick skylark which he always wrecked.
I can't tell you how angry it makes me when I hear kids at school say " I hate cops" etc it's beyond disrespectful, what they do to protect us is amazing. My fellings go out to his family may he rest in peace
