'62 Vette 327/340hp - sweet motor - basically a stroked 283

Ive got a .060 over 283 in my 67 Chevelle (64cc) '66 Vette Fuelie Camel Hump heads (461's), wild cam, '66 vette quad manifold. Sounds and runs like a 396, cept you can rev it to about 6 or 7 grand

Though I have to say - my favorite is

I can still recall the girls gazing at me longingly as I hurtled along Pennsylvania and Massachusetts Avenues on my way to teach part time at American University. To them, Ben Stein was not the guy in that fiberboard walled office at the FTC. He was the coolest guy ever, in his Corvette

A legend in his own mind. He paints men and women with a broad brush. True half the women thought he was cool, but the other half thought he was just a boy with a toy. And though many men do see their cars as an extenuation of themselves, so they must have the latest and greatest, there are those of us who are more practical, and do not love our cars. For those of you who love your car I would like to say, why waist love on something that will never love you back and if it could would trade you in on a cooler sexier driver?

I love my 96 Camaro. Supposedly the name came from the chief exec at Chevy and is Latin for companion. I hate to see them retire, but glad to own one. Especially since the *ahem* cats seem to have fallen off last month. And the stock manifold, and the stock ypipe...shhh don't tell the greenies. Keep them focused on SUVs.

Stein nailed it.
The chariot of the Gods: a Ferrari Daytona, or was it Carroll Shelby's 427 Cobra?

Ben Stein is a lawyer, writer, economist, TV personality, and car lover.

Not to mention, a terminal bore; he surely dotes on that Tommy boy of his. I haven't read a single thing by him in the past 10 years where Tommy wasn't the focus.

The kid is going to grow up thinking the whole world loves him; boy, is he ever going to be surprised.

The first car was built for transportation.

The second car was built to race the first.
