regressing into childhood is common in Olde Age

(and for some, may be the first time they can afford, or are allowed to have, the muscle car they wanted when they were 16)

Back then, the young people for the most part built the high end custom muscle cars...And it didn't cost them $60,000 or 200k+ for a freaking car...

In today's America, the con-men at the Stealerships love to take money from the old guys...They see um coming.....Few young people have that kind of money to blow...

It's now a senior citizen thing...

(and for some, may be the first time they can afford, or are allowed to have, the muscle car they wanted when they were 16)

Reminds me of my youth. I was 16. She was a '57 Bel Air 2 door hard top with a ridiculous stroked 327 with so much cam it barely idled, dual quads, a Muncie 4 speed and the rear seat removed to make room for drag slicks tucked in sleeper style...sat level in a profile view, but over half the back view was rear tire.

I had the deal verbally done, until the current owner did a hard 3-4 shift in front of my house, lifting the front driver's side tire off the ground in front of my Dad (could lift both off the line & at 2-3).

That day's new vocabulary word: VETO.
