Two Corvettes
 
Sorry couldn't resist all the fast car talk My Corvette ownership covered a "61, '65 and '68 for a total of 34 years. We were not rich but Dad thought kids who got into trouble had too much time on their hands. Therefore he would finance them and I worked food stores or construction to cover the payments. My favorite was the '65 fastback with a 365 HP 327 with solid lifters and Muncie 4 speed. With a 6500 rpm redline you could downshift into 3rd at about 75 mph and shift back at about 100. A sweet machine.

Had to let up and let them cool off thank God there was practically no one on alligator alley at 3 am back then . Funny how much narrower it gets? Thankfully new cars have brakes that better match the car

I got a ticket in the mail for 40 points in my youth.
First charge was attempting to elude.

Why the mail?

Lol sold the Charger to a buddy of mine . He was driving and learning the car when we ran into a guy with a GTO that wanted to race .Ok I’ll tell you when to shift 3:23 gears so 1-2@70 mph 2-3@118mph then hang on till the needle stops! Any way we had the GTO easy going East on Sunrise Blvd hit the Turnpike overpass and shifted to 3rd (727 B&m automatic) at 118 and saw the red lights and kept going! Cop stoped the Goat . Days later my buddy run into the goat owner and asks he about the cop— cop asked who owned the Charger —I don’t know. Why didn’t you stop him—- hell buddy he hit 3rd at 118 and was still climing when he went over the bridge .told the goat owner he could catch him but dint have a chance catching up with the Charger! Miss that ride
