tires were one of the first lessons I learned about stupidly wasting money when I got my first car, I put Pos-A-Traction Torque Twisters on the back of my '64 LeMans and then did so many burn outs in the parking lot of the shopping mall I worked at that they were worn to the cords in a couple of months

cool as a slang term for "good" is often spelled "kewl" by participants in various internet topic enthusiast forums

At the shop I worked at here in Southern California, most of the road driven cars we built were in the $325,000 - $385,000 range. The show cars were in the $650,000 - $800,000 range. The most expensive build during my tenure, after the price of the 2 donor vehicle purchases, was $880,000. A shop around the corner from us built the Cadillac CadMad that won the Ridler Award a few years back. IIRC, the build on that car took about 15 years and was 2.3 million dollars...

I just found the Right-On-Replicas build video from the latest release of the CheZooom kit, and it now has vinyl Goodyear Blue Streak slicks as well as the white styrene tires

days of yore with nights of lore are part of what I miss about my productive, exciting, well spent youth

Spanky said "SWELL!"

night time on weekends used to be my favorite time, cruisin' with my honey, watching the submarine races at the lake in the park, drive-in movies, street racing my car or my motorcycle, now it's just time to rest and recuperate for the next work week
