Mopar virgin checking in with new 1969 Barracuda - with questions.... ;)

Today I took my boys (aged 5 and 6) out for a ride in the fish. It was a nice day (unseasonably warm winter and it seems it's almost spring outside) and it seemed like the right thing to do. Of course the boys were all for it!! So we got in and took a short cruise to the neighboring town, where we got lots of stares, as if the people around here had never seen one before (easy to understand; I think my Cuda is the only 2nd generation fish in Poland). So we left the town and I was eager to "get used to" the car a bit and stomped on the gas and we cruised through some winding roads. I was pleasantly surprised by how much get up and go this fish has! It's really fun to drive, and very quick! The manual drum brakes make for an interesting experience braking from say 80+ mph. I have no problems with manual brakes, and they are actually quite effective. Probably I will want to upgrade to disks in the future for a more balanced feel and less fade. It's been really fun every time I take her out for a spin! Nice, peppy little car!

Awesome for you and the boys!! Just found out the 69 barracuda convertible I bought might not get to the port in time to catch the ship sailing on Tuesday :( if not I will have to wait another week until she sails. then another 15 days till it gets here. You know I will be at the port waiting for them to off load the container!! Enjoy your barracuda!!
