Ah, yes. We were cruisers once, and young. Ladies and gentlemen please raise your glasses in a toast to internal combustion, and my long-departed 1979 Formula Firebird. My friend's Chevy (in background) continues rolling to this day:

Hear, hear! Makes me think of my high school's parking lot. Y'know, by the time that '79 Firebird rolled off the assembly line, most of the "good" '57 Chevys were already in the hands of collectors, restorers and hot-rodders. I remember seeing an old lady driving a '57 2-door BelAir back in the early '80s. The car was in *very* rough shape, but she had cardboard signs that read: "CAR NOT FOR SALE!!" taped to the insides of the rear quarter windows.

Zero's legacy will not be a kind one if he manages to push the '55-'57 Chevys, early Mustangs, Corvettes and other beloved classics off the roads permanently.

I had one of these: Formula 400 RamAir III, Muncie M22 4spd, in highschool. Mine was gold.

The 400 in it was a GOAT motor.
