when i drive my bugeye i have a certain feeling i get. and baby it's all
good! when i ride my harley ...that's a whole other feeling and that is
also all good! when i drive the lust bus that is yet another good feeling.
evrything has it's mechanical soul and they all effect us difrently or feed
some kind of inner need we all have to one degree or another. i thank god
i have the luxury of having these thing to choose from! i enjoy each for
difrent reasons. my bugeye has the heart of a lion in a mighty mouse sized
car. and if i ask it to perform it kicks serious tushie! the car is a
true sports car in my estimation. that is why it has been rebuilt over and
over and finally preserved in it's present state for posterity! the paint
job is well over 10 years old but the feel, smell and sound is as fresh as
the day it was put together! man i love that little car!
we have 2 daily drivers:
85 corolla with almost 200,000 on it
79 chevy van with 352,000 on it
geez! i kinda tend to keep stuff i like!
chuck.
formerly "the world's largest sprite driver"
now in a state of "reduction"! present weight 261lbs and shrinking!
