0-60 MPH on my first car was measured on a calendar, not a stopwatch.....

I know exactly what you mean -- I had a 1965 Fiat 600D and I think my max was 65 mph. And in my youthful indiscretion, I reached 65 pretty much every day!

I had a maroon Fiat 126 ''maluch'' at one time for a short period. It was known as the poor mans 911 with the same rear engine/box RWD layout as the Porsche but for the thrifty running costs. If you got the clutch/throttle right at start it could beat most cars from the lights and the aero dynamic body took it to 78 mph on the clock.

My 1971 Mercury Capri had one of those gizmos. Hadn't thought about it in decades.

I once drove a sixties Daimler Dart with an iron block 2.5 V8 auto, it was so slow a ''Maluch'' would beat it from the lights to 30mph

My first car was a used 2-door, 4-speed 1964 Corvair Monza. I had a lot of fun with that car, including installing tubing exhaust headers and dual exhaust.

You think you are old when you bring up the fact that PlayStation one came out in 1995 and a millennial says 1995, I wasn’t even born yet.

Years ago my dad would take my mom to the beauty shop then slip across the street for a couple beers while she got her hair done.
Guess what I did today? Damn we are becoming our parents! |
