(and for some, may be the first time they can afford, or are allowed to have, the muscle car they wanted when they were 16)

Reminds me of my youth. I was 16. She was a '57 Bel Air 2 door hard top with a ridiculous stroked 327 with so much cam it barely idled, dual quads, a Muncie 4 speed and the rear seat removed to make room for drag slicks tucked in sleeper style...sat level in a profile view, but over half the back view was rear tire.

I had the deal verbally done, until the current owner did a hard 3-4 shift in front of my house, lifting the front driver's side tire off the ground in front of my Dad (could lift both off the line & at 2-3).

That day's new vocabulary word: VETO.
