Dis is My Ride!!!
Hey Pat, I dont have really any stories to tell since my car wont be done for a while...but i grew up around mopars...my dad just finished his 69 dart this year, and that was my favourite ride in a car ever...As a kid i was always at the strip, helping my dad with the car, and just plain dying to turn 16 so i could drive and one day buy my own car...after going for a ride in my dad's dart i know i have not made a mistake in my choice in cars lol...ive been in other fast cars, but dang ill never forget the first ride we took...its got a 440 with a 509 lift purpleshaft, m1 intake, 850 holley carb, minitubbed, caged with an 8-3/4 with 4.88s, suregrip and 727 with 3500stall...nothing too serious...in third gear just cruising ill never forget my dad planting it- the front end rises up so quick, the car flies and the motor just screams baby! the feeling was better than anything and i cant wait to be in control of my own beast like that...my dad hasnt even matted it from first off of a light because i think he doesnt want to risk losing control or his license lol...but it sure has power and just screams authority when we go for drives- everyone looks either giving thumbs up or angry looks because its soo loud! lol another fun time i had in a car was last summer in my cousins new c6 corvette...it has a full header back exhaust (bullet mufflers) and he goes cruising with these other corvette friends of his...so we head out at around 10 at nite to a timmie's pretty far from home to meet up with about 9 other guys (one guy has a c5 with a small block 427 full track car- got invited to a ferrarie track day meet, beat them all, and had the ferrari drivers enraged asking who invited this guy lol) anyways, after we met up we spend a good two hours just blasting around country backroads at full blast, targa roof open, Ozzy cranked through the speakers....it was fun! lol we ended up very far from home at another tim horton's and no exageration when i got out of the car i was a little queezy from all the turning and g's...that was fun too! At the end of this summer im sure i'll have alot more stories...meeting a bunch of guys my age with cars now, and it should be a great season full of action for us all
