My wheels....my muscle :unsure:

and you’re kicking the crap out of those geezers in their Rascal motorized things. Although this store by my house sells them and one is fixed up and looks like a Harley….handlebars and everything.  My hip hurts; but, i’m not there yet.

Me and the wife both have "transporter" tags, we can put these tags on any car and drive them around....as long as I say they are safe! So we have owned and had so many cars I really forget.....

But one really cool ride I snagged last summer was a 72 Buick Electra 225, with a 455 in it. Me and the went to the local junk yard to grab some parts for a customers car. Well when we pulled in the yard this 70's green Buick Electra caught my eye. It was parked away from the junkers. I pulled up to it....man it looked good. I walked around it.....no rust....no rips in the seat...headliner good...man this thing was nice....poped the hood and there it was....455 cu in...oh chitt, I liked it.

So I talked to my man that runs the yard....me and him are real cool. He told me someone drove it in there and they gave him scrap price for it......so I said this thing runs and drives? He said it runs and drive good.

So he let me take te car to my shop and check it out....it really was in good shape. I gave $1500 for it drove it all last summer. Took it to the local ice cream shop where they have car shows. Eveyone loved it.

My youngest daughter loved that old thing. She could not get over how big it was and how fast that thing could go.

Enjoyed it all summer and fall then put it on the lawn for sale. Had a good time with it and made a few bucks....

4 wheels will move your ***, 2 wheels will move your soul….

Very true - had an '03/'04, can't quite remember, Nicki Hayden. A true beast of a machine. Much more race bike than street. Even after ZX14, Busa, Gsxr 1000 the RC had me thinking of my mortality. Sold it. The Duc Killer ---

392 cubic inches is great but it sure must -s--k on gas -these huge pistons  can ingest a whole lot of fuel - although that is much better than an R/T 440 Magnum - that 440 must have been 5 miles per gallon
