Yeah it was a lot of fun. Auto Mechanics class was like the pits at the drag strip.
It seems now everybody is going retro. Ford with the 49, GT-40, and the styling they have been coming up with on various cars, Chrysler with the Charger, Prowler and PT Cruiser, Volkswagen with the Bug, and Mini Coopers popping up everywhere. It may be a good time to be a hot rodder here pretty soon if the trends keep up the way they are going. The only thing I am wondering about is are we going to be able to afford these cars?
