In latin america [Novas] were the “Chevy II”. Interestingly, the Datsun Fair Lady sports cars were marketed outside Japan as Datsun Sports.

I tried to jazz-up my old VW Beetle with parts from a JC Whitney catalog.
And I was about as successful in that effort as Hillary would be as a pole dancer.
But Three Dog Night’s ‘Golden Biskits’ on reverb speaker was pretty cool.

I had 1191 cc’s—or 40 HP—of whistling Teutonic power in the back-end of of my Wolfsburg Road Warrior.
I’ll never forget ‘rowing’ through the Rockies while those valves clicked, occasionally hopping out and pushing.

Hang on...we can do this...
Take a 426 Hemi, bore it .070, get suitable pistons, obtain an old Edelbrock Rat Roaster manifold, (huge open-plenum manifold for the Hemi), machine a top plate to accept Holley Six Pack, score the Holleys, dump it off, breath delicious tire smoke.
WHAMO...you got yourself a 440 Hemi Six Pack!

Those were the days! After getting married I traded my legal B/MP Fairlane for a Pinto. I almost got run over the first time I tuned into traffic. The power of the Pinto was alarming. I feel your pain.

Thanks BenLurkin.A best fit model for the 1670 event is a rare stellar merger, with two main sequence stars smashing together and exploding in a grand head on collision, leaving the resulting nebula we see today.

Off the top of my head I would think stars colliding would be very rare given the vastness of space. But then, given the vastness of the Milky Way, I suppose the odds increase.
It would be way cool to see one of these, but I doubt I have that many years left.
