I have owned probably 30-40 cars in my life but the one which really stands out and by a long way is my 65 Olds Delta 88. It had a 425 370 HP and just ran and ran and ran.
I see reports on modern cars and am amazed that they can get 500 HP out of something like a 2.4 liter engine but that just has to stress things too much.
That old 65 Olds would cruise effortlessly on interstate at 80mph. It would do it all day long too. There are and were faster cars but 370hp is power enough for just about any normal use.
Probably the most surprising thing about it was how nimble it was despite having a large heavy body.
I've known some women like that.
I loved the Delta 88. Great post.
