Thanks for the compliment mmarshall, but although I wish I had, I did not grow up in the 60's. My dad did however, and he is definitely the source of my automotive fanaticism. My earliest memories are cruisin' with dad in his SS454 Chevelle, me hanging off the dash and pulling myself up to see over the cowl hood... The sound of the vacuum secondaries opening up will forever be etched in my head

New high tech engines are fantastic, but my favorites lie with the gut-wrenching torque monsters - as totally unrefined as they were - of the past.
