I seriously miss the days when I could buy a used Pontiac or Ford muscle car fir a couple hundred bucks and run it on Friday and Saturday nights down at the waterfront in Philly…

I’ve had about 27 cars in my lifetime, ranging from absolute beaters to pretty decent stuff and all points in between.

There’s nice retro muscle out there now, but it’s beyond most working guys’ reach; gone are the days when you buy a 68 fastback ‘stang or 70 GTO Judge for 400 bucks, go to Bash Speed Shop and massage it a little and have a weekend race car.

Watched “ Ford vs Ferrari” a few weeks back, and boy did that bring back memories… I miss THAT America. It was a much better place than now.

I remember, back in the day, that most of the guys in my neighborhood would work on their cars, and then race them on weekends.

Hanging out in different friend's garages was a thing.

I miss those days too.

People were free back then.

Who knew we would end up living George Orwell's 1984.
